1250 Creek Road

Do you appreciate simple old historical homes rich with character? Well, 1250 Creek Road was originally built in 1869 by the Bear family as a cigar box factory. The timeless charm with its thick stucco covered stone walls, heavy timbers with original wood floors, to the high ceilings (1010 on first floor & 9 on second floor) was transformed into a residence around 1920. The Bear family settled in the village of Oregon in early 1700s which was originally named Catfish (renamed Oregon in 1846) after the local mill pond where catfish were abundant and where Jacob Bear built the first original mill. The current owners are the 10th generation to live in the village of Oregon, and this will be the first time this property is owned by someone outside the family. This solid stone structure features 2048 S/F with many updates over the years designed to preserve the character of this unique home. The deep half acre lot has plenty of off-street parking and is waiting for the next owner to revitalize the outside space to its previous glory which included a patio area, planting areas, stone walls, 2 quoit pits and stone fire pits. Enjoy the sunsets from the updated front porch with swing. Some recent updates in 2026 were new roof, hot water heater, well pressure tank, basement windows, front porch flooring and painting. All this as well as it is conveniently located just off Rt. 222 Oregon Pike exit next to Oregon Diary grocery store complex, close to Lancaster Airport, downtown Lancaster and Lititz plus Manheim Township School District. This is a true historic property with the potential for the new owner to make their own special memories!
