WOW, if you are searching for something truly distinctive, rather than a typical property this remarkable historical unique gem is perfect for you. From the moment you approach the front, you'll be captivated by its unique features, including commercial-grade windows and an inviting front door. These windows provide a view while ensuring privacy, and they also serve as a sound barrier, reducing outside noise.

The kitchen offers lots of counterspace and all appliances will remain with the property. The light switches for the main level are in the kitchen at a great location when you come in from the rear off street parking. There are 2 off street parking spaces in the rear for this property. The kitchen also provides a surround sound across the main floor. Uncommonly for properties of this era is a charming powder room which was recently added located on the main level. Ascending to the second floor you’ll discover more unique touches, including a hallway leading you to a sitting room where you will have views to the main level and to the 3rd floor. This room could easily be converted into a 4th bedroom. The third floor offers a lofted bedroom area, allowing natural light to flow throughout. There are 2 large skylights and 3 large windows on the 2nd floor that provides lots of natural light into these areas. The skylights illuminate the area, while two ceiling fans maintain a pleasant airflow. The smallest bedroom is also perfect for an office as it offers 2 large closets that could easily be shelves for all your projects. The lower level includes a laundry area equipped with a folding cabinet and storage space for laundry essentials. It also offers an outside entrance to the deck area. Outside, the brand new deck provides a serene escape, perfect for sipping coffee or hosting summer barbecues. Its proximity to local amenities, like the beloved Souvlaki Boys Grill, soon to be your new favorite dining spot, and 2 blocks from Lancaster General Hospital. To the property's appeal, making everyday living both convenient and delightful. This property is also convenient near the Amtrak train station for easy travel, whether for work or leisure.
