This is a unique opportunity to live in a very meticulously cared for and fully restored Lancaster City town home. This luxurious, three story, white brick home is located in a gorgeous neighborhood and is only three blocks from Central Market. It is beautifully positioned close to all of Lancaster City's premier restaurants and coffee shops while still managing to avoid the busyness and noise that comes with being directly downtown. Each and every room of this stunning home has had the character lovingly restored and has included many upgrades in the process. Find original hardwood floors throughout. The fully renovated kitchen is equipped with all stainless steel appliances which are to be included during your stay. Garbage disposal, under cabinet and pantry lighting, and soft close cabinetry are all features worth noting. The range hood that vents to the exterior is something you're grateful for while preparing meals in this spacious kitchen. The floor to ceiling custom made pantry, made from reclaimed barn boards is equal parts charming and functional. The kitchen, living room, master bedroom and finished attic space have all been updated with recessed lighting to enhance the truly stunning natural light that this home receives from nearly all angles being that it is situated at the end of a row. A first floor powder room with an exposed brick wall, tile floor, copper vessel sink and trough faucet is perhaps the first place you will encounter the extreme attention to detail and creativity that is found weaved all throughout this historic home. A main staircase and butler stairs from the kitchen have both been refinished and expose original wood stair treads. The second floor hosts the master bedroom with connecting balcony, a fully remodeled master bathroom, a second bedroom, and an office/flex space. The master bedroom features custom Amish-built cabinetry for a lavish wardrobe. Enjoy the refinished second floor balcony off the master bedroom that has a spectacular view of downtown and serves as the loveliest sun nook with very little wind or traffic going by on the adjacent alleyway. The master bathroom also boasts rich custom Amish-built cabinetry for both a vanity and linen cabinet. The vanity has a trough sink atop with brand new his and her faucets. Two space saving pocket doors, made from the original doors, with added upper locks separate the master bedroom from the bathroom and the faucet from the commode and bathtub. Second floor stackable high efficiency Electrolux washer and dryer are conveniently located in the bathroom. The extra deep bathtub and shower combination has unique tile walls and a removable shelf. The epitome of luxury city living is soaking in this bathtub while enjoying the view of downtown out the half shuttered window. Also on the second floor is a second bedroom and office space. Both spaces have custom built-in shelving which can be adjusted to suit your needs. The bedroom has an entirely exposed brick wall, is carpeted, and has a custom cedar barn door to conceal a a large added closet. The third floor finished attic space will take your breath away. Able to serve as a magical third bedroom, this space is a favorite in the house. It features carpet flooring and custom built-in shelving and bench seating around the entire perimeter. Exposed rafters, with original engraved roman numerals still visible, are nestled between the tongue and groove painted boards creating the coziest of ambiances. From the rear dormer window seat, one of three window seats featured in this space, is where you will enjoy a spectacular view of downtown. There is also rear attic space behind a closed door for storage and that houses the air handler for the central air system. The newly installed HVAC system keeps the house very comfortable in a highly efficient manner year round. The home is quick to warm in the winter months and easy to cool during the summer.
Other general information about the home includes the following. The entire roofline is spray-foamed and all windows have been replaced, positively impacting utility costs enormously. Charming hot water cast iron radiators are featured in nearly every room and run on an updated gas boiler that includes on-demand hot water. Ethernet cable has been run to several rooms for your internet needs and USB outlets are throughout the home as well. Interconnected smoke alarms that meet modern code requirements have been added. Security cameras are located at the front and back doors. Smart locks are installed at the front and rear doors. Faux wood blinds are in nearly all the rooms with custom cloth blinds at the front living room windows. The exterior of the home has been professionally painted in recent years. A custom made timber framed front porch roof with cedar shakes has newly been added. The backyard features artificial grass and a small garden area, making yard maintenance almost nonexistent if so desired. The entire length of the yard and driveway are fenced in with six foot high security fence, which includes a motorized sliding gate over the driveway to keep you and your loved ones entirely enclosed and secure. The home is located at the end of a row on the corner of N. Charlotte Street and the quiet alleyway, Grant Street. This makes for easy and stress free driveway access. The neighborhood is outstanding. You will love the orderly and generous neighbors and the close proximity to everything downtown Lancaster City and the evolving West End has to offer. The home is situated in the most perfect walkable location and the character in this home is unmatched. Enjoy a rare opportunity to experience this hidden treasure of a home. The interior has been cleaned and freshly painted and eagerly awaits you.
