Great location. Country living yet only 5-miles from Lancaster City, minutes away from major shopping centers, Lancaster Airport, hospitals and Lititz, Coolest Town in America- 2013! It still is. Oregon Road is around the corner. Less than 1/2 mile is Oregon Pike, Rt. 272 with access to Rt. 222 (north to PA Turnpike, -south to Rt. 30). Manheim Township considered the best School District in Lancaster County.


Rose Cottage is one of the few homes on scenic Creek Road. Its mostly Amish farms. Through the pastures winds the Lititz Run (the Creek). The Millport Conservancy / Wildlife Refuge is about a mile away with nature trails, fly fishing classes, educational opportunities, etc. As well, this is a good area for walking and biking along country roads, over nearby historic covered bridges that cross the Conestoga River.


Modest size rooms throughout. Southern exposure - theres plenty of good natural light. Of special interest: the Butlers Pantry, the 2nd floor Sunroom, Attic storage, a dragon-red paneled front door, and antique hardware: porcelain door knobs, hinges, box locks, thumb latches, and an antique cast iron hand pump that still pumps well water.


Outdoor Living. A roofed deck just outside the kitchen door, and a grape arbor, 10 x 12 (with picnic table and benches), help create a relaxed get-away, for R & R, enjoying the garden, bird watching, and dining al fresco. Mature plantings, tall evergreen trees, and a rustic cypress fence afford seclusion and privacy. The garden boasts a sunny back lawn, raised vegetable garden beds, a goldfish/koi pond, a variety of mixed perennials and a grove of gorgeous hardy banana trees.
