A rare opportunity to own an extraordinary home in the heart of the Lititz Borough! This beautifully updated brick traditional home is rich in original character, with exceptional architectural details and modern upgrades throughout. The magazine-worthy kitchen was custom-designed and built by Black Forest Design & Build in 2021. Its oversized center island features a white quartz countertop with seating. Original exposed beams and brick complement custom white shaker cabinetry, crown molding, sleek hardware, and black granite perimeter countertops. It features a white cast-iron farmhouse sink with a bridge faucet and separate sprayer, heated Italian tile floors, a white subway-tile backsplash, custom hood surround, and stainless steel appliances. Glass-front upper display cabinets have dimmable interior lighting and dimmable undercabinet lighting. Soft-close drawers and cabinet doors, coffee bar, spice drawer, pullout can organizer, additional counter/work niche, and a storage closet complete the kitchen. A glazed rear entry with a transom adds character, while decorative corbels frame the broad opening to the family room. This tremendous gathering space boasts vaulted ceilings, crown molding, an abundance of windows, and direct sliding-door access to the patio. A Vermont Castings gas stove with a blower, electric candle sconces, and built-in Sony surround sound and subwoofer complete the room. The formal living room is graced with wood floors, plantation shutters, substantial millwork and a working wood-burning brick fireplace. Original French doors open to the covered side porch, while another set connects to the formal dining room. The dining room showcases its original corner hutch, complemented by wood floors, crown molding, embossed ceiling tiles, and pendant lighting. The main-floor full bath offers a tub/shower, updated vanity and sink, and wainscoting. The laundry room showcases an original exterior brick wall, tile flooring, tall window, shelving, and a storage closet. Upstairs, all four bedrooms have wood floors, elegant woodwork, and tall windows with woven shades. The primary bedroom features a ceiling fan, an arched entry, and an enlarged closet with a sliding barn door and closet organizer. The northwest bedroom opens to the enclosed sunroom, with original glass windows on three sides, white beadboard, exposed brick, a natural wood ceiling, painted plank flooring, and a ceiling fan. The northeast bedroom provides access to the fixed staircase leading to the expansive unfinished attic with windows, offering incredible future finishing potential. The upstairs full bath features a double vanity with a granite countertop, two arched mirrors, candle-style sconces, white wainscoting, open shelving, and a custom glass-front storage cabinet. A natural wood pocket door and flooring installed in 2025 complete the space.

The paver patio features a gazebo and curved sitting wall, with connecting paver walks from the back porch toward the garage. A stamped concrete walkway leads from the sidewalk to the front porch, and a pole lantern marks the large private driveway. The nearly 500-square-foot detached two-car garage, renovated in 2011, offers two overhead doors with Wi-Fi openers, a concrete floor, a service door, and ample storage. Additional features include a 4-by-6-foot wood shed and walkout basement access via stairs beneath a lift-up section of the rear porch floor.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
