Welcome to this charming semi-detached home, built in 1924, that beautifully blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. With its classic brick façade and broad front porch, this home makes a warm first impression and invites you to slow down and stay awhile. As you step through the front door, you’re greeted with beautiful original hardwood floors and large front windows that fill the living room with natural light. A cozy gas fireplace anchors the space, while a lovely accent wall and unique architectural details add depth and personality to the living room. The clean, inviting color palette makes this room ideal for gathering with friends or curling up in front of the fire on a cold evening. The dining room continues the home’s welcoming feel, featuring ambient lighting, large windows, and tasteful wainscoting. The seamless flow through the living and dining areas into the kitchen makes entertaining effortless. Just off the dining room, you’ll find a discreet and convenient half-bath, complete with exposed shelving and a backlit mirror for a touch of modern style. The kitchen is bright and airy, flooded with natural light and designed for both function and beauty. It offers a built-in pantry, stainless steel appliances, a stainless-steel farmhouse sink, and ample cabinetry. A gorgeous tile backsplash and convenient pot-filler over the stove add a thoughtful, upscale touch. There’s also room to add a table or island, creating additional workspace or a comfortable eat-in area. From here, access the basement or step out onto the covered back deck—an idyllic spot for al fresco meals or sipping that first cup of coffee on a cool spring morning (when the snow has finally melted). Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The primary bedroom is spacious and airy, filled with natural light and accented by plush carpeting and beautiful woodwork. The additional bedrooms are equally comfortable, with the third bedroom offering a private balcony overlooking the back garden—a peaceful retreat to start or end your day. The full bathroom has been freshly updated with exquisite tile work and elegant hardware that lends a refined yet inviting feel. Outside, the partially fenced-in yard provides space to garden, play, or relax, with off-street parking at the rear of the property. Located just around the corner from Lancaster Community Park and boasting numerous upgrades throughout, this is a home ready to be made your own.
