15 HILLSIDE RD, DAUPHIN, PA 17018

Own a piece of history with this 1928 Craftsman-inspired bungalow offering 2,728 square feet of historical charm and unique features. Located in Hillside--an early 1900s community established by city residents seeking a peaceful summer retreat--this home sits at the base of Second Mountain above Stony Creek. As Dauphin grew into a commuter haven, these cottages evolved into cherished year-round residences. The main level welcomes you through the foyer and includes the refreshed kitchen with original-style cabinetry, classic trim details, and large windows that preserve the home's historic appeal while filling the space with natural light. An arched doorway leads to the formal dining room with warm wood floors. Also adjoining the kitchen is the original living room combined with a breakfast nook, reading corner or gaming table area. The true highlight of the first floor is the spacious family room with new LVP flooring, a pellet stove insert, built-in shelves and flooded with natural light. A laundry room with generous storage, a half bath, and an enclosed garage that doubles as additional storage complete this level. On the second floor, the primary bedroom offers a unique opportunity: combine the original bedroom--complete with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace and built-ins--with the sun-filled enclosed porch accessed through French doors to create an extraordinary retreat. This level also includes a second bedroom, a full bath, and a versatile bonus room connecting both bedrooms--perfect for a home office, dressing room, or creative space. The third floor offers even more flexibility with two additional bedrooms featuring built-in dressers, another full bath and the home's undeniable showpiece: the observatory. With sweeping views of the mountain treetops, it's the ideal spot to watch the sunset and unwind at the end of your day. Outdoors, enjoy two patios that both capture the same serene mountain and treetop vistas. The sale also includes the neighboring lot, bringing the total property size to nearly 2/3 of an acre. If you love historical homes with character and stories of their own, this is a property you won't want to miss.
