Bomb shelter tucked in the basement of this 1895 Victorian house for sale. Take a look
A beautiful home that was built over a century ago has hit the real estate market in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, for $399,900.
The six-bedroom, 2.5-plus-bathroom home — which was built in 1895 — comes with an interesting vintage look both on the outside and the inside and has been updated with new appliances over the past 20 years.
“This stately Victorian property offers plenty historic character and homeliness with an attached commercial space,” the listing on Realtor.com says.
“The craftmanship and quality is notable throughout the home with 9’ ceilings; 4 fireplaces; hardwood floors; updated, large eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances; primary bedroom with fireplace and attached dressing / sitting room; 2 sunrooms; & impressive foyer with fireplace and architecturally unique staircase,” the listing describes.
Upgrades include:
New windows in 2010
New roof in 2010
New water heater in 2017
Three zone gas heating system in 2006
Central air in 2019
But the biggie that sets the 4,182-square-foot house apart from other Victorian homes is the fact that it comes with an unfinished basement complete with a bomb shelter — that can be used as such or for just storage.
Of course, there’s also a backyard and plenty of space.
Mechanicsburg is about 195 miles east of Pittsburgh.
