About This Home

Step into a piece of Lancaster history. The Old Champion Home at 325 E Chestnut St was built between 1834 & 1839 by Michael Garaghty, the craftsman behind the Mumaugh Memorial, and nearly two centuries later it remains one of downtown's most distinctive addresses.
Set on a rare 0.43-acre double lot, this 4 bed, 2.5 bath home offers 2,752 sq ft of warmth, character & craftsmanship you simply cannot replicate. Five fireplaces anchor the home with timeless ambiance, while 1.5'' thick poplar floors, a sandstone foundation & 10x10 timber framing tell the story of how homes were built to last.
Gather in the cozy living room, where a high-efficiency wood-burning stove serves as the heart of the home. Perfectly positioned in front of a stunning bay window, this spot offers panoramic views of downtown Lancaster while you enjoy the warmth of a crackling fire.
Modern living blends seamlessly with historic charm. The first-floor owner's suite features an updated full bath & the large eat-in kitchen, refreshed in 2019 with an expanded center island, is built for slow Sunday mornings & dinner parties that stretch late into the evening. First-floor laundry adds everyday ease & the finished attic offers a flexible additional bedroom or quiet retreat.
Outdoor living is just as inviting. Sip your morning coffee on the screened porch, host friends in the brick courtyard, or fire up the attached summer kitchen for warm-weather entertaining. A detached 2-car garage & patio awning complete the package.
Beyond the front door, you are steps from downtown Lancaster's shops, restaurants, galleries & historic landmarks, with sidewalks, mature trees & that unmistakable small-town-meets-storied-city feel.
Major updates include a new dimensional roof (2018), gas furnace (2019), waste & drain lines replaced with CPVC to city lines (2022) & full potable water supply replaced with PEX (2024). Enjoy the charm of an 1835 home with modern reliability.
