Step into timeless charm at this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated late Victorian style brick home in the heart of Millersville. With 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, bonus 3rd floor room, and a classic white picket fence, this residence offers the best of both historic character and modern comfort. Make this your home or an investment to add to your portfolio with the potential use of 5 bedrooms to rent to MU students! From the moment you step onto the stunning 30 foot front porch, adorned with wisteria vines and perfect for rocking chairs, you’ll feel right at home. Inside, you'll find original woodwork and craftsmanship that are rare to find today, balanced perfectly with a modern kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and a farmhouse sink. Enjoy your mornings on the south-facing upper rear porch with views toward Millersville University, or find a quiet moment on the side porch shaded by mature magnolia trees and a variety of other carefully maintained landscaping. A detached barn offers space for storage, a workshop, or creative possibilities. You're just a short walk from the Millersville Lions Club Pool, MU campus, and minutes from downtown Lancaster or scenic spots along the Susquehanna River. If you’re ready to settle into a home that offers both serenity and style, grab a lemonade and pull up a chair—this Millersville gem is waiting for you.
