About This Home
As of February 2023Picturesque setting directly across from Musser Park. Classic Brick Townhome with contemporary flair. When you park in front of this charming home, you will immediately be captured by the beauty of neighboring Musser Park, the large front widows, window boxes and the pop of blue on the front door. Enter the home to an open living room/kitchen, followed by a dining room that also opens to a sunken family room, with vaulted ceilings, large windows and a corner fireplace. Upstairs on the second floor, there is a large primary bedroom facing Musser Park that is adjacent to a jack and jill full bathroom. The second floor also includes a second bedroom/office with a full wall of glass front shelving (could be detached) that overlooks the sunken family room below. There is a third floor loft, used as an additional bedroom. The basement is unfinished, but has washer/dryer hook-up and a Belco door for outside access. The yard is semi-private and shared with the neighbors at 245 E Chestnut. (This could be divided if so inclined) The yards were featured in the 2018 Demuth Garden Tour and include brick walkways, a raised flower bed and periennials galore. Wait, there is more. This city home also has an off street parking place, plus the ability to obtain a city parking permit for ease in on street parking. Absolutely fabulous city location. Blocks from numerous restaurants, shops, galleries and all that Lancaster city has to offer.
