Listing description
Welcome home to 507 East Chestnut Street, a beautifully preserved 1850 historic residence that offers the rare perfect balance of old-world charm and contemporary convenience. Nestled in the heart of Lancaster, this meticulously maintained townhome features approximately 1,638 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a versatile attic that offers endless potential for additional finished living space. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be captivated by stunning hardwood floors that showcase lovingly preserved original sections, paying homage to the home’s rich heritage. The main living areas invite relaxation with a cozy electric fireplace and efficient gas heating, while the chef’s kitchen impresses with granite countertops, a spacious island perfect for entertaining, and a gas stove ready for everyday meals or festive gatherings. Upstairs, the generous primary suite and well-appointed bathrooms provide a serene retreat, and the flexible attic space offers abundant storage or the opportunity to expand your living area.
