🏡 A Rare Dual-Home Gem in Harrisburg’s Historic District – 115 Locust & 117 River Street Tucked just a whisper away from the Susquehanna River, where the gentle breeze carries the scent of riverfront blooms and the hum of downtown Harrisburg never feels too far, you’ll find a property unlike any other—two lovingly maintained colonial-style homes on one deeded lot, steeped in history and brimming with opportunity. Welcome to 115 Locust & 117 River Street, a timeless piece of Harrisburg’s past, updated for modern living and ready for its next chapter—whether that’s yours to live, share, or invest in. 🏠 115 Locust St: A Grand Restored Beauty This is the main residence. Behind the classic colonial facade is a 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home that’s been flawlessly restored to honor its original character while adding the comforts of today. Think soaring ten-foot ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, a walk-in tile shower that feels like a spa retreat, and a kitchen wrapped in granite countertops and sleek modern cabinetry. Mini-split systems offer energy-efficient climate control year-round. Whether you're hosting family dinners or savoring a quiet morning coffee on the brick patio, this home flows with warmth and intention. 🏡 117 River St: Income, In-Laws, or Guest Comfort Just steps away sits the second home—a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence with hardwoods throughout and its own private entrance. Currently tenant-occupied, this space provides immediate rental income or the flexibility to welcome extended family, guests, or even create a live/work setup. It’s a rare configuration that makes this property a smart choice for investors and owner-occupants alike. 🌿 A Lifestyle You’ll Love Located less than half a block from the river, outdoor lovers will revel in access to the Riverfront Trail—a favorite for runners, cyclists, and anyone looking to take in the beauty of the water with each season’s change. From this location, walkability is everything. Just minutes from your front door, you'll find craft coffee shops, intimate wine bars, independent bookstores, acclaimed restaurants, and the energy of City Island and FNB Field where the Harrisburg Senators play. 🚗 Commuter-Friendly, Yet Tucked Away You’re in the heart of the city, but getting out is easy—Route 83 and Route 30 are both just moments away, making for a painless commute whether you're headed to Camp Hill, Hershey, or Lancaster. ✨ Bonus Features Shared brick patio for entertaining or relaxing Potential for off street parking Two complete homes = Dual income potential or multi-generational living An unbeatable blend of charm, convenience, and versatility Whether you're a family looking for space to grow, a professional craving the downtown lifestyle, or an investor eyeing rare multi-unit options in a walkable neighborhood, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
