Listing description

1453 Drake Lane, Lancaster A home is where Life happens. Imagine a morning that begins with coffee in your private courtyard, surrounded by mature landscaping. There is time for a walk through the neighborhood, perhaps a conversation with a neighbor along the way. The lawn has been tended, and the day is yours to enjoy. At 1453 Drake Lane, that sense of ease carries throughout the home. Built in 2009 in Lancaster’s Veranda neighborhood, this elegant carriage home offers room for the people and pursuits you love, with the comfort of everyday living on the first floor. The entire interior has just been freshly painted, and new carpeting has been installed, creating a fresh, welcoming setting for your next chapter. The kitchen is the kind of place where company naturally gathers. Someone pulls up to the generous island as you prepare dinner, and conversation flows easily into the adjoining Great Room. Custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances provide a beautiful, practical backdrop, while the gas fireplace draws everyone closer on cooler evenings. Whether you are welcoming friends or enjoying a quiet supper at home, these spaces keep you connected. For occasions that deserve a little more time around the table, the formal dining room awaits. Holiday meals, family celebrations, and dinners that linger well beyond dessert all have a place here. Yet the home is equally comfortable when the company has gone. Settle into the den with a favorite book, or spend an afternoon in the separate office, planning your next trip, pursuing an interest, or catching up on work. Natural light brings warmth to the rooms throughout the day. When it is time to turn in, the first-floor primary suite is close at hand, offering a peaceful retreat with a private bath and generous closet space. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms and a full bath welcome visiting family and friends. Guests have space to make themselves comfortable, and you can enjoy having everyone under one roof while preserving a little privacy. Downstairs, there is room to let your interests unfold. The professionally finished recreation room and wet bar invite movie nights, a spirited game, or an easy evening with friends. A separate gym area makes room for your daily routine, while the large workshop offers something especially welcome: a place to leave a project in progress and return to it when inspiration strikes. Abundant storage keeps seasonal belongings close without crowding your living spaces. A half bath serves this level, with potential to add a shower. As the weather warms, life extends into the courtyard. Bring dinner outside, tend a few favorite plants, or simply enjoy the quiet at the end of the day. Its privacy and mature landscaping make it feel like an outdoor room—a place you may find yourself returning to again and again. The attached two-car garage makes coming and going easy. Beyond your door, Veranda’s sidewalks, streetlights, walking paths, and shared greens encourage you to enjoy the neighborhood at your own pace. The HOA handles snow removal, lawn care, tree and shrub maintenance, and care of the community parks and greens. That means fewer weekends devoted to outdoor upkeep and more time to spend as you choose. Shopping, restaurants, parks, and Routes 30 and 283 are just minutes away, keeping everyday errands and travel convenient. Perhaps the greatest appeal of 1453 Drake Lane is how comfortably it makes room for your next chapter. There is space to welcome the people you love, privacy when you want it, and freedom to enjoy more of the life you have worked to build.

Assessment note: this home appears assessed above what its asking price implies at the county's common level ratio. The next owner may have a case for an assessment appeal worth roughly $5,970/year.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($607,700, 2018 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Lancaster County before relying on it.

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.
