Contemporary

A Private Contemporary Retreat in School Lane Hills Tucked away on a breathtaking 1.57-acre wooded setting fronting the Little Conestoga Creek, 10 River Drive offers a rare opportunity to experience contemporary architecture thoughtfully integrated with nature in one of Lancaster’s most coveted neighborhoods. Custom-built in 1986, this distinctive home was intentionally designed to blur the line between indoors and out, creating a serene, light-filled environment that evolves beautifully with the seasons. The rear elevation is truly striking, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors that frame sweeping creek views, mature trees, and a colorful native landscape. Whether enjoying autumn foliage, winter snowfall, spring blooms, or summer greenery, the natural setting becomes an ever-changing backdrop to daily living. Inside, cathedral ceilings throughout the first floor enhance the sense of openness and light, while Venetian plaster accent walls add warmth, texture, and understated elegance. The heart of the home centers around the renovated kitchen and adjacent hearth room, where a gas fireplace creates a welcoming gathering space that flows seamlessly into the great room—ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The kitchen and primary bath renovations were meticulously executed by the current owners, featuring custom cabinetry, upgraded finishes, and high-quality appliances, reflecting a commitment to both craftsmanship and comfort. The spacious first-floor primary suite is a true private retreat, offering a sitting room with fireplace, private office, luxurious bath with steam shower, massive walk-in closet, and conveniently located laundry. This thoughtful layout provides exceptional flexibility for one-floor living while maintaining separation from additional living areas. Additional features include three full baths and two half baths, three to four generously sized bedrooms, and excellent closet and storage space throughout the home. A 3+ car garage provides ample room for vehicles, storage, and hobbies, while separate in-law quarters offer privacy and versatility for guests or extended family. The lower level presents exciting future potential with space envisioned for an approximately 800-square-foot gym, in-home theater, workshop, artist’s studio, or recreation room, allowing the next owner to further tailor the home to their lifestyle. Energy-efficient gas heat and central air conditioning add to the home’s comfort and long-term value. Ideally located close to Lancaster Country Day School, Franklin & Marshall College, Wegmans, Stauffers, parks, and Lancaster’s vibrant downtown scene, including the Fulton Theatre, Central Market, acclaimed restaurants, brew pubs, and coffee houses, this property offers both privacy and convenience. A full suite of pre-listing inspection reports is available, providing confidence and transparency. Discover a home where architecture, landscape, and lifestyle exist in perfect harmony—schedule your private showing today.
