Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania
Located along historic South Market Street and only two blocks from Elizabethtown College, Ivy Terrace is now on the real estate market for sale. This brick Victorian home was built in 1900 by local builder/contractor J.N. Risser for his family. The home today retains the charm and original
features of the late 19th century but has been updated mechanically to fit the needs of the present.
The three story brick dwelling consists of four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, lovely double parlors with gilt woodwork, a formal dining room, a large library room, and rear upstairs "trunk" room/1/2 bath that leads to the second story back verandah. The third floor consists of the original "prayer" room but could be utilized as a third floor suite, studio or office if desired.
A vestibule from the Market Street entrance leads into the entryway complete with handcarved oak stairway. The double parlors on the first floor consist of pine floors while the dining room and library are handsomely decorated with turn of the century oak flooring. The kitchen at the rear of the home contains a triple bin sink, dishwasher and original pantry closet.
A back stairway from the dining room leads to the second floor landing. The upstairs hallway, Cottage Bedroom and English Ivy Bedroom are all complete with oak flooring and antique lighting. The Lavendar and Lace and Garden Bedroom are finished with wide golden colored pine floorboards. The Garden Room also contains both a lovely ceiling medallion that blends in harmoniously with the Waverly wallcoverings and garden colors throughout the room. 
The rear of the lot contains the original 1920's brick one car garage built by Mr. Risser himself...one of the very FIRST car owners in Elizabethtown at the the time. The lot also contains lovely mature vegetation including beautiful English ivy and lilacs.
All mechanicals in the home have been updated including being completely rewired with 200 amp service; BRAND NEW central air conditioning, new plumbing including piping and fixtures and an exterior freshly finished "Painted Lady" color scheme!
