The primary house boasts over 3,000 sq ft, has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is a perfect blend of historic charm and modern day updates. Above the massive two car garage sits a large studio apartment that could be used as an in law quarters, home for guests visit or long term/short term a rental for passive income. Staying true to the legacy of this home, many original features have been preserved with exceptional attention to detail. Throughout the home you notice the antique hardware, original restored floors, doors, molding and handrails. Unique details like the mortgage "button" at the bottom of the main staircase, original frosted glass, and a striking cast iron cornstalk fence truly make this home one of a kind. Although many original features remain , this home has been updated to make living in an historic home a breeze. Updates including, a modern chef's kitchen, heated walkway in front of the house, lead paint remediation, and 3 separate geothermal heating zones including 2 that were updated in 2022 and 2023. This home was treated with so much love and has been meticulously maintained. This iconic corner lot property is a true Lancaster City gem.
