839 5th St Lancaster, PA 17603

This gorgeous Lancaster Township home, built in 1922, has been loved, labored over, and revived into a stunning space that you will want to see for yourself. While loads of contemporary updates have been tastefully added, the charm, ambiance, and craftsmanship of this 1920s home have been carefully preserved. The front porch, wood shutters, and clean painted façade make this home look like a fairy tale getaway. Once inside, the open-plan living room and dining room make it an ideal space for hosting family and friends or curling up beside the Christmas tree to watch the kids open presents. The exposed brick, vinyl wood floors, lathe accent wall, and floods of natural light from the new windows create a homey and tranquil place to gather with those you love. The kitchen’s contemporary color palette, new countertops, subway-tile backsplash, exposed shelving, and updated appliances will draw you into the heart of the home and inspire you to pursue all your culinary aspirations. The island, with Moroccan tile and built-in microwave, gives you a place to savor your morning coffee or the kids to do their homework after school. With plenty of storage, ample workspace, as well as a view of the fenced-in garden, this room is yet another warm and welcoming gathering place. If you do, however, get tired, climb the stairs to the second floor. Trail your hand along the banister, feel the plush carpet runner beneath your feet, and let the history of the house envelope you. Three bedrooms occupy the 2nd floor, along with the full bathroom just off the landing. Each bedroom has new windows, beautiful woodwork, distinctive light fixtures, and contemporary touches, striking the perfect balance between old and new. Each room creates a unique and welcoming space for kids’ rooms, a home office, or guest rooms. The full bath displays lovely tile work, exposed brick, and tasteful shelving. On the 3rd floor is the primary bedroom. Step into this oasis and let your stress dissipate. Open the window to hear the chirrup of songbirds and the sounds of the city settling. Select a novel from the build-in shelving and settle into the window seat to read, with a glass of wine on hand. Take in the quiet ambiance, the peaked ceiling, the natural light. The million creative touches make this a dream bedroom. The fenced in yard and back patio provides the ideal outdoor space for eating al fresco on a summer evening. With all new windows, a new roof, newly installed furnace (with natural gas heat), new central AC, and smart thermostat, you will be comfortable year-round. This home requires nothing but for you to move in and start making memories of your own.
