Welcome to Historic Elm Avenue, considered to be among the Grandest and most livable streets in Hershey! This Stately, All-Brick Mansion is Ideally Located within the Golden Triangle of Hershey, and is now ready for its' 4th Owner Ever! This Fully Renovated, Move-in Ready Home that is Built to Last, combines the ‘Historic’ with the ‘Ultra Modern.’ Constructed in 1934, when Milton S. Hershey’s impact on the community was at its prime, this very established structure embodies his highest standards in both appearance and construction. Over the past 17 years, the current owners have taken meticulous care, and were especially careful to maintain its original character during a total renovation in 2009. They kept all of the charm, and enhanced it dramatically by adding a second living room and balcony on the second floor at the back of the house, overlooking the spacious emerald green yard, lovely gardens, and irreplaceable shade trees! From the fire pit to the natural stone walk, the expansive, canopied, yard has provided endless hours of quality time. Post renovation, the resulting structure boasts 3837sf of living space spread creatively over 3 Brick Stories and 25 Rooms, including 5 Bedrooms, 3 Full Baths, and a 1703sf Lower Level, which is ready for your final finishes, as a movie, theater, gym, &/or extra storage! The first floor includes many Amenities: Gourmet Kitchen with Double-Bowled Sink, Six-Burner Gas Range, plenty of Counter Space built along three walls, and a Pantry/Hallway with floor-to-ceiling cabinets with pull-out drawers! Just off the Kitchen is a highly inviting Family Room with two full walls of windows overseeing the lush gardens. The adjoining room functions as a Party Room with Wet Bar, an Entry-Mud Room, and a Second Pantry! Beyond that there is a Lovely extra bedroom/in-law suite that contains a gorgeous tiled bath with a door separating the shower from the powder room to offer added privacy. The first floor rooms are specially designed for entertaining and include the Formal Dining Room with a vista to the well-manicured lawn along Elm Avenue, and a Formal Living Room/Music Room with built-in Bookshelves and a lovely gas Fireplace! Of special significance, is a Home Office surrounded on three sides by windows overlooking the private side yard. On the second floor, at the top of the central staircase is yet another Wow-Factor: A second living room with a wall of windows and a French door, leading onto a Private Balcony with a panoramic view of the estate gardens below! The second floor contains three bedrooms, two luxurious full baths, a laundry room, and two additional stairwells! One goes to the third floor with its large, loft bedroom, outside of which is a private study area overlooking the second living room. The other staircase, reminiscent of Nancy Drew’s “Secret Staircase,” accesses a private attic type room: Could be a private office and it has a Cedar Closet! Also, All Bathrooms have Heated Floors! The property has a two car garage in the back with a Tesla Charging Outlet, lots of storage space, and outside are four more parking spaces with access to the alley. The many unique attributes and special amenities of this property are exponentially enhanced by its undeniably superb LOCATION! From 261 Elm Avenue, one can stroll to all of the Hershey/Derry Township Schools, the Hershey Community Center/Pools (reopening in 2022!), the recently renovated Hershey Library, the Hershey Theater, numerous Downtown Hershey Shops & Restaurants, Hershey Park, and the Zoo!
