Description

There's so much to love about this three-story end of row townhome! A rare find in the city, it offers two off-street parking spaces and has been thoughtfully remodeled, while maintaining much of its original character and charm. Built in 1915, it has gorgeous, curved archways, exposed brick, and the kind of woodwork that is practically impossible to find in newer builds. Enjoy the best of both worlds, while relaxing in the cozy living area with a fire in the electric fireplace. The built-ins are custom, there is updated lighting throughout, and the flooring is wide-plank and durable. The natural light that flows in through various large windows on the detached side give the house a cheerful glow and illuminate the exposed brick and high ceilings. Numerous updates have been made in the last seven or so years, including: conversion from oil heat to natural gas in 2023, installation of a tankless water heater in 2023, installation of a radon mitigation system in 2020, renovation of the kitchen in 2020 (replacing/upgrading cabinets, countertops, appliances, electrical and plumbing), renovation of bathrooms in 2020, removal of drop ceiling and installation of a wood ceiling in 2020, installation of a tile floor in foyer in 2020, sealed and painted the exterior in 2020, and so much more! The spacious backyard is an entertainer's dream. Since it's extra-large for a city property, there is plenty of space for fun, whether you have kids, pets, lots of friends, or all of the above. Stepping out the front door, it's just a short walk to many popular downtown Lancaster locations, including restaurants, shops, Lancaster General Hospital and the Lancaster Train Station. Come check it out!
