161 Scenic Ridge Drive, Hummelstown, PA 17036

Property Description

WELCOME HOME! 161 Scenic Ridge offers a rare opportunity to own the only Amberbrook model in the Ridgewood community of South Hanover Township—a thoughtful blend of design, function, and everyday livability that stands apart. From the two-story foyer onward, the home unfolds with intention: engineered hardwoods, clean sightlines, and a layout that feels as good in practice as it does on paper. The kitchen strikes the right balance between form and utility with a farmhouse sink, wood countertops, stainless appliances, exterior-vented hood, and a generous island designed for real use—morning coffee, weeknight dinners, and everything in between. The adjacent living room is anchored by a stone fireplace and framed by expansive west-facing windows that flood the space with natural light and create a warm, inviting glow in the evenings, while a vaulted ceiling and fan help circulate air to keep the main level comfortable year-round. A dedicated main-level office creates space to focus, and the mudroom with built-ins and brick flooring handles the realities of daily life. Upstairs, the primary suite is calm and well-proportioned, featuring a walk-in closet with window, double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, a thoughtfully designed hall bath with double sinks and private wet area, and a full laundry room with sink and windows complete the level. The finished lower level adds flexibility without compromise—full 3rd bath, egress room for guests (can be utilized as 4th bedroom without closet, office, or flex room), gym, or work space, and plumbing already in place for a future wet bar. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers space to play and relax with a patio, two access gates, and a fruit-bearing cherry tree, all backing to open green space and walking paths; notably, the setting is thoughtfully free of elevated structures, creating a safer, more practical environment for everyday use. The front porch swing—unique within the neighborhood—adds a distinctive, welcoming touch. Additional features include a newly redone asphalt driveway (2025), updated HVAC components, Verizon FiOS, and a two-car garage with extra storage. The home also features a Tesla solar system (installed 2015) designed for straightforward, pay-per-use energy—no additional qualification required. Owners pay Tesla for solar usage (often around $80/month) with remaining utility through PP&L, with summer months typically generating meaningful credits. The system transfers with the property, is serviced and monitored by Tesla, and is easily managed through a mobile app; at the end of its term (2035), future options include renewal, removal, or upgrading to newer technology. Set within a sidewalk-lined neighborhood known for its strong sense of community and everyday livability, this location offers both convenience and comfort—sidewalks ideal for biking and evening walks, a setting that feels safe even in the early morning hours, and a neighborhood culture that includes seasonal traditions like Halloween gatherings and community parades. Just a short walk to Greenbriar Park with its playground, courts, and fields, close to everyday shopping and dining, and minutes to Hershey Medical Center, the home is also served by South Hanover Elementary, a smaller, community-oriented school with high rankings. Quiet, bright, and thoughtfully designed, 161 Scenic Ridge delivers a level of ease and distinction that is rarely available—and unlikely to be repeated.
