About This Home

As of January 2026

Nestled on Ephrata’s historic Main Street, 778 E. Main St offers a rare find — a spacious, detached home on a 0.31-acre lot, blending privacy with walkable small-town living. With approximately 1,792 sq ft of living space, this property delivers room to grow, expand, or make your own. The generous lot provides flexibility for a yard, outdoor living, or future improvements. Located in a historic, central neighborhood — just steps from local shops, services, and the charm of Ephrata’s downtown — it’s a unique opportunity for anyone seeking value, convenience, and real estate potential. Major updates include a brand-new roof installed last year, all windows replaced within the past three years, and an updated electrical panel—offering peace of mind and improved efficiency for the next owner.
