About This Home

As of February 2025

**MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED, offer deadline 1/21/25 @6pm** WELCOME to 505 Locust Street in Columbia Boro! A solid victorian home overlooking Locust Street Park this property has strong bones and boasts loads of architectural charm. Built in 1900, this historic gem boasts high ceilings, original millwork, marble fireplace, & original wood flooring throughout. Currently hosting two 2/bed/1bath units. The 30X120 lot is deep with detached garage. With a sizable side & back yard plus huge basement with exterior access. The possibilities are plenty for this unique property! Ability to convert back to a one family residence would be a breeze. The location offers a distinct blend of urban convenience and peaceful small town living. Columbia is a charming river town, 20 minute ride west from Lancaster City. And a 5-10 min drive to bucolic Washington Boro with loads of organic farming and groceries. Boasting serious historical distinction the town has multiple vintage warehouses to browse. With a posh new hotel approved to be built and established businesses like Prince Street Cafe and The Common Wheel bicycle shop setting up shop on the commercial corridor. The town is certainly ripe for further development. The home is located steps from the Columbia Public Library and Columbia commercial corridor. With a quick 5 min commute to arterial Rt. 30. Blocks from the entrance to the North West River trail and the Columbia River Crossing on the Susquehanna River. As well as local access to the Conestoga River and thousands of public acres of woods, streams, kayaking, fishing and biking/hiking trails. The home is in need of a cosmetic renovation so bring your creative plans and make this a one of a kind residence in an amazing appreciating area!
