About This Home
Welcome to 519 Lancaster Avenue, where timeless 19th-century architecture is beautifully reimagined for modern city living. Lancaster Avenue's charming five-block stretch offers a quieter residential setting with minimal through traffic, yet positions you just moments from everything that makes the city so vibrant. Nestled within the most sought-after Chestnut Hill, this exceptional brick home, with full-height third level, offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, thoughtfully renovated living space and the rare opportunity to enjoy historic character without sacrificing today's comforts. From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the warmth of original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, replacement windows and carefully curated updates that honor the home's rich history while embracing contemporary design. The showpiece second-floor primary suite is a true retreat, featuring dual closets and a luxurious ensuite bath with double vanity with quartz top, designer fixtures and a stunning floor-to-ceiling tiled walk-in shower. The second bedroom highlights a balcony porch overlooking the lovely backyard with paver patios and winding paths among the gardens. The second-floor laundry room and additional full bath provide valued conveniences. The third-floor with two spacious bedrooms offers endless flexibility for guests, home offices, creative space or growing household needs. Extensive improvements—including updated electrical and plumbing, a high-efficiency gas furnace, central AC for 2 floors plus a dedicated mini-split system for the third floor and a newer roof—provide peace of mind and allow you to move in with confidence. Beyond the home itself lies one of Lancaster City's most coveted lifestyles. Close to Central Market, The Fulton Theatre, Penn Medicine Park, Queen Street's boutiques and restaurants, neighborhood bookstores, West Art, Franklin & Marshall College, Buchanan Park and countless local events throughout the year. Dining enthusiasts will appreciate being surrounded by some of Lancaster's most celebrated destinations, including Luca, Cabalar, Lombardo's, Lemon Street Market, The Fridge, Savoy Truffle, Mean Cup and the Warehouse District Beer Garden. Nearby playgrounds, the North Museum, Wharton Elementary School and neighborhood favorites like Splits & Giggles Ice Cream further enhance the appeal of this prime location.
