All bedrooms feature hardwood floors, ceiling fans, and ample storage. A classic and much-loved feature - a laundry chute that delivers clothes directly to the main-floor laundry area.

The lower level provides an additional 740 square feet of finished living space with a gas fireplace, offering flexibility for recreation, media, fitness, or work-from-home needs. The home is pre-wired with Cat6 Ethernet, offering fast and reliable internet throughout for seamless streaming and remote work. Cable drops are installed in each room, along with exterior connections for a doorbell and security cameras. All wiring is routed to a centralized location in the basement, allowing for easy networking and future expansion. Beyond the two-car garage, enjoy a brick paver patio and a flat, private backyard enhanced by mature trees and thoughtful landscaping. Additional driveway parking provides ample space for hosting guests. Ideally located close to coffee shops, breweries, and Lancaster’s finest restaurants, as well as Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster Country Day School, New School Montessori, and Buchanan Park, with convenient proximity to major highways—this distinguished home offers classic Lancaster charm paired with modern livability.
