Welcome home to this beautifully renovated townhome on a quiet street in Lancaster’s SOWE neighborhood! From the inviting front porch, step into a spacious family room with an open floorplan, highlighted by original hardwood floors and exposed brick. The updated kitchen features open shelving, a finished concrete countertop, and a custom wood worksurface for extra prep space, plus a modern vent hood and stainless steel appliances. Complementary original and industrial features are found throughout this home, including pipe handrails, reclaimed wood, and exposed brick walls on the first and second floors that blend historic and contemporary styles. Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms, a full bath, and an inviting flex space—perfect for a work-from-home office, secondary retreat, or easy conversion back to a third bedroom. The private backyard is a great place to relax or entertain with both a concrete patio and a custom brick patio, a shade pergola, an herb garden, and a ground-level grill surround. The seven-foot-high privacy fence was added in 2023, creating the ideal retreat. HVAC and water heater were installed in 2023, dishwasher in 2024, and refrigerator in 2025. With recessed lighting and abundant natural light, this home is bright, stylish, and move-in ready!
