Step back in time and into luxury with this beautifully maintained three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath historic home in downtown Lancaster's Chestnut Hill neighborhood. This home offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern conveniences. The hickory hardwood flooring throughout the first and second floors pays homage to the original Victorian-era floors, adding warmth and character to every room. An expansive living area, created by removing a wall between what was once two formal parlors, creates a bright and open living space. The updated kitchen includes custom cherry wood open shelving and cabinets, with white quartz countertops and tile complimenting stainless steel appliances. Upstairs you'll find a large primary bedroom flooded with natural light, which features a private balcony overlooking the perfectly manicured yard. The renovated second-floor bathroom boasts new tile, quartz countertops, a built-in antique vanity, and a refurbished original cast iron bathtub. Additional second floor spaces include two versatile connecting rooms that offer endless possibilities for customization. Currently serving as a child's nursery and an spacious adjoining office, they await your creative touch. Transform them into a bedroom with a connected dressing room, an office combined with a large second bedroom, or keep them as two separate bedrooms by simply closing the original door that separates them. The large climate-controlled third floor opens a world of opportunities, whether as plentiful storage space or extended living space. Relax or entertain in the screened-in back porch overlooking the landscaped backyard complete with wood privacy fencing, a beautifully hardscaped patio, and firepit perfect for enjoying a summer gathering. This stunning home features new windows and Central A/C with three zones for efficient and cost savings cooling. Enjoy additional modern amenities such as state-of-the-art alarm system, custom interior shutters, fiberoptic internet hookup for future connectivity, and a new Xfinity hookup. The home’s full basement has been maintained and improved with a poured concrete basement floor, sump pump, and drainage system. Previous major upgrades include a new roof, boiler, and water heater, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. While on-street parking is available, for your convenience, off-street parking is obtainable in a nearby parking lot for an annual fee. Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the elegance of the past while enjoying the comforts of modern living in this circa-1870 home originally built for cigar-maker William Fisher and his family and meticulously maintained by subsequent homeowners. Bonus- not only can you own this timeless beauty, but you could have the option to purchase the neighboring tenant occupied detached efficiency that once served as a cobbler shop for the homeowner. Expand your backyard, generate income, AND own a piece of history!
