Description

Some renovations make a house newer. This one makes the original architecture easier to appreciate. Designed by local architect Richard C. Reed, this three-bedroom, two-bath mid-century home offers nearly 1,700 square feet on an unexpectedly private 0.43-acre lot overlooking Letort Spring Run.

The open living area is filled with natural light, anchored by a fireplace and a custom 16-foot sliding-glass-door system that opens the room to the outdoors. The renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, upgraded cabinetry, new appliances, a large island and the home’s original built-in pantry—because not everything interesting needed to be replaced.

Updates completed within the past year include new energy-efficient windows, a new furnace, central air conditioning, flooring, lighting, paint, bathroom fixtures and extensive landscaping. A laundry room sits conveniently off the kitchen, while the carport provides covered access to the house and additional off-street parking.

The result feels fresh without feeling generic—a distinctive Carlisle Borough home with space, privacy and architectural character that is increasingly difficult to find.
