Step into nearly 300 years of history at the Peter Wolf House, a circa-1756 stone homestead lovingly restored and offered for the first time with a rare dual identity: a beautifully preserved residence and a Highway Commercial-zoned property with real potential for adaptive reuse. The 3,564-square-foot home features 5 bedrooms,… Read More 2 full baths, and 8 fireplaces, alongside original wide-plank floors, raised paneling, and restored 1756 milk paint uncovered during a meticulous, award-winning restoration recognized by Historic York and featured in Early American Life Magazine. Enter through the original drying room, now a functional mudroom, into a warm eat-in kitchen with a wood stove and cleverly concealed appliances, then move through the adjoining buttery to a formal dining room with fireplace and a front hall showcasing the home's gracefully detailed original staircase. Upstairs, five bedrooms include a spacious walk-in closet and dressing room connected to the second-floor laundry and a full bath with slipper tub and separate shower. Recent updates include two-zone HVAC, a natural gas furnace (2023), a newer roof (2016), and restored original windows throughout. Set on 1.1 acres along West Market Street, the property carries local ties to Peter Wolf, a prominent 18th-century landowner believed to be the sixth great-grandfather of former PA Governor Tom Wolf, with speculation that the home may have hosted Continental Congress members during York's time as the nation's capital. Because the parcel is zoned Highway Commercial, buyers may also explore by-right uses such as offices, restaurants, personal service businesses, or lodging - offering a distinctive opportunity to preserve history while shaping what comes next.
