3BD / 2BA 2401± sqft Built in 2001Description
Some homes make sense on paper. Others make sense in your chest. You will not need a feature sheet to know that 13729 Cross Roads Avenue is something different. You will just know.
Tucked along Cross Roads Avenue in the rolling countryside of southern York County, this classic Cape Cod built in 2001 delivers the soul of an 18th-century farmstead wrapped in every modern comfort you could ask for. One acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, sweeping scenic views over the hills and a home that has been loved in every corner.
Step inside and the hardwood floors greet you like an old friend. They run throughout the home, warm and rich, anchoring every room with a timeless character that simply cannot be replicated. The gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, dressed in granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a layout that invites gathering. It flows effortlessly into the dining room where cathedral ceilings soar overhead, crown molding frames the space with elegance, and natural light pours through skylights above. This is the room where holiday dinners happen. Where morning coffee becomes something you look forward to. The main level also features a living room, a generous family room with its own wood-burning fireplace, and an entry-level bedroom with a full bath, a layout that gives you flexibility and ease no matter your stage of life. Climb the stairs and find two additional bedrooms, each with their own propane burning fireplaces. There is something extraordinary about a bedroom with a fireplace. The warmth, the ambiance, the glow on a winter night. These rooms are not just places to sleep. They are places to exhale. The finished basement extends the living space further with a built-in wood stove, a finished family room, and a dedicated utility and laundry area. Whether it becomes a game room, a workshop, a home gym, or a hideaway, the space is yours to shape.
Outside, the story only gets better. Follow the brick path from the deck through the English colonial style garden, past the sheds and chicken coops, into a yard that feels like a retreat from the world. The landscaping was thoughtfully designed to mirror the same period charm the home embodies, and the result is something truly rare. And beyond the yard, the views open up across the rolling hills of southern York County in a way that reminds you why people fall in love with this part of Pennsylvania. The attached two-car side-entry garage, propane heat, central air and central vacuum round out a property that checks every practical box while delivering something that most homes never do: genuine character. Minutes from Route 83, Shrewsbury, and everything the region has to offer, yet far enough removed to feel like a world of your own. This is not just a house. This is a home that has been waiting for the right person to walk through the door. Could that be you?
Here is what makes this opportunity even more compelling. This home is listed just under it's appraised value as of April 8, 2026 (Appraised at $495,000), meaning the guesswork is already done. The price is honest, the value is real, and the sellers are ready. Under contract on their next home with a closing of June 30th or sooner, they are motivated and positioned to move. This is not a situation where time drags and negotiations stall. An able and willing buyer will find a clear path to the closing table.
