Located on an Historic Landmarked Street in the heart of Lancaster City, this elegant, 3000 sq. ft. townhouse is an unusual find. Because of its unique layout, this recently renovated home is comfortable for two people, and, at the same time, it can easily accommodate large groups. It is characterized by generous spaces, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light that pours through the tall front windows and the bay windows in the dining area. The living room, with its 11-foot ceilings and original marble fireplace, is inviting and grand. The dining area is located next to a large, open kitchen with marble countertops and floors and a large island. Beyond the kitchen is a sunroom overlooking a private garden.An elegant staircase leads up to the second floor and the primary bedroom with high ceilings, a light-filled sitting area, balcony and a large, ensuite bathroom. Down the hall and up two steps are two additional bedrooms joined by a jack-and-jill bathroom. On the third floor there is a welcoming guest suite. Here, a bedroom spans the front of the house, and three large windows look out on green trees and the street of historic homes. In addition, there is a separate large sitting area and a private bath.From the kitchen, a stairway descends to the basement where there is a brick wine cellar with arched openings. The full, dry basement has an unusually high ceiling, making it a perfect place for a workshop or additional storage. It is also accessible by a separate stair to the outside.The neighborhood itself is charming and walkable. Within easy walking distance are coffee shops, the original Lancaster market, restaurants, art galleries and shops. The home comes with a rented off-street parking space. In addition, there is a large, rental parking area directly behind the house.
