About This Home

As of June 2022

The deep front porch of this 1915 city row home welcomes you into a spacious and airy living room with high ceilings, original hardwood floors and woodwork. Whitewashed brick fireplace features a wraparound mantel and new gas insert. You’ll be be charmed by the original leaded glass transoms above the window and front door, which allow lovely natural light to fill up the room! The lighting in this home is simply stunning on all three floors!

The living and dining rooms are separated by original, solid wood pocket doors and you’ll be surprised to find a very large storage closet off the dining room.

The kitchen has been updated with a retro mid-century modern aesthetic, careful to maintain original features such as the spacious floor-to-ceiling hutch and deep double-bowl porcelain sink. The addition of custom built open shelving and new cabinetry provide you with plenty of practical storage, while the ‘boomerang’ design laminate countertops and vinyl composite checkerboard floor will keep things fun and lively!

On the second floor you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bath. The largest room has wall to wall carpet (original hardwood preserved underneath) and faces Walnut Street with three bay windows bathing the space in beautiful light throughout the day. Connected by a door to the first bedroom (not a privacy violation as it has a separate doorway to the hall), the second room could also be suitable as a TV/media room or home office and likewise has carpeting, and the smaller third bedroom has a private balcony overlooking the charming backyard and retains the hardwood flooring!

The spacious primary bedroom suite makes up the third floor, which features a newly added full bathroom, two large closets with deep shelves, original wood flooring, and an additional space that could make a perfect walk-in closet/dressing room.

In the full basement you will find plenty of storage space! Featuring several built-in cupboards, and a newly enclosed and insulated laundry room. Convenient access to the backyard through the BILCO doors.

Last, but absolutely not least, relaxation awaits in the private backyard offering the best of city outdoor living! Low maintenance with a pea-stone patio, pergola, and colorful perennial beds, a gorgeous Japanese maple tree, privacy fence, and a mature buckthorn privacy hedge. Follow the stepping stone path to the 1 car garage/potting shed accessible through a private alley.

This Chestnut Hill location is splendidly close to all the best Lancaster City has to offer, and far enough away to appreciate neighborhood living!

**All of the infrastructure and mechanicals were completely overhauled between 2011 - 2018, with a new high-efficiency natural gas heating system, new rubber roof, energy-efficient tilt-in replacement windows, blown-in insulation, all new electrical wiring, cabled/wired for city fiber optic internet, new light fixtures, gas fireplace insert, and all new plumbing, including full replacement of the original underground cast iron and terracotta lateral and main lines from the house all the way to the street.**
