Historic Landis homestead c. 1858 rests on Country Club golf course with views of Mr. Hershey's mansion, the one room school house, and historic Derry Church. Home has been fully updated with all new mechanicals: heating, plumbing, electric, HVAC. New kitchen and baths. Original plank floors have been restored to a wonderful, rich patina. The original chestnut staircase glows in the center hall foyer. The Landis homestead has stood sentry over this corner of Derry Church (Hershey) for nearly 150 years watching with its peaked windows from each gable the passing of time in Chocolate town. This home gazed upon the masons who labored to build Highpoint Mansion and the Chocolate Factory just across the hollow. It saw the coming and goings of the trolley and still watches the trains passing to distant valleys across our nation. Now you may own one of Hershey's oldest homes. Within its walls this gracious home exudes all the charm of a bygone era with its wide moldings; large, deep windows (period style replacements); wide trim; and wide plank floors. Bathrooms have been given a period twist with updating and the Kitchen boasts beadboard paneling, a farmhouse style sink, solid surface counters and new appliances. The custom cabinets are lighted and many sport paned glass doors for functional and display purposes. This well designed space has original shelves and a gleaming wood floor. A formal Living Room with built in shelves and an original fireplace with gas insert welcomes guests and family alike. From this inviting room you may enter the huge L-shaped Family Room with its tiled floors and floor to ceiling windows which flank the room on two sides. This room accommodates pool/ping-pong tables and is perfect for the houseplant enthusiast. Plenty of room for the pursuit of numerous hobbies. This room has closet storage for games and craft supplies. The natural light bathes the room for hours a day making this the place to relax and watch the sun rise over the golf course. Details abound throughout the home with pocket doors, above the door transoms, gingerbread trim, restoration and period hardware. Upstairs are the bedrooms with a large master with his n'hers baths with subway tile detailing, a whirlpool tub and vanity for the lady and walk-in shower for the gentlemen. A 1000 sqft in-law quarter or apartment is attached in an ell addition. This area also has been updated with new baths, a first floor powder and full bath upstairs. The one bedroom master suite consists of a sitting room and bedroom with access to the 2nd floor exterior porch. A full kitchen and large living room complete this very comfortable space. This is the perfect home for those with extended families or who wish to live in the main house while off-setting the mortgage by renting the apartment.
