345 E Orange St Lancaster, PA 17602

Tucked along East Orange Street in Lancaster City’s Downtown Historic District, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home feels less like a standard residence and more like a personal retreat where historic bones, creative spaces, and surprising pockets of nature quietly coexist. Thoughtful modern upgrades, including a whole-house water purification system, enhance everyday comfort while honoring the home’s soulful character. Step inside and you’re welcomed by an easy, intuitive flow. The main living space drifts naturally into a formal dining area, inviting conversation, shared meals, and slow evenings. From there, the kitchen anchors the home; functional yet warm. Serving as a natural gathering point and opening directly to the outdoors, blurring the line between inside life and open-air living. The entire second floor is a private haven of calm and creativity. Here you’ll find three bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bathroom, completely renovated in 2025 and featuring a brand-new walk-in shower. Completing the level is an incredible sunroom, lovingly used as an art studio. A light-filled space perfectly positioned to overlook the backyard. Whether watching snow fall softly in winter or soaking in summer greenery, it’s an ideal setting for painting, journaling, yoga, or quiet meditation. Outside is where this property truly tells its story. Set across an uncommon triple-lot footprint, the backyard unfolds in layers: pergola-covered lounge areas, garden-inspired nooks, and generous open space rarely found in an in-town setting. A greenhouse structure complete with a hot tub and sauna creates a year-round sanctuary, equal parts restorative and imaginative, whether you’re soaking under winter skies or unwinding after a summer day in the city. A detached four-car garage, accessed from E Marion St, offers both form and flexibility. Perfect for vehicles, workshop space, creative studios, or storage. Completely rebuilt between 2020–2021 with new trusses, joists, walls, flooring, windows, roof, and doors, the structure includes a wall heater and available water hookup, making it as functional as it is thoughtfully updated all while preserving the charm of the street-facing façade. Just beyond your front door, Musser Park and Reservoir Park offer green escapes within walking distance, while the shops, restaurants, galleries, and cultural rhythm of Downtown Lancaster are moments away. This is a home for those who value character, creativity, and space to breathe—where historic surroundings meet modern lifestyle flexibility, and where city living comes with room to wander, gather, and restore.
