Listing description

If you’ve been waiting for a Lancaster City home that truly checks every box, this is it. ****New 3rd floor roof installed in March 2026 and Porch Roof was done in 2024.**** ALSO LISTED FOR LEASE. See MLS# PALA2090400. Located at 147 E Liberty St in Lancaster City and in Manheim Township School District, this home offers the perfect mix of walkable city convenience and suburban-style extras. You’re just minutes from Amtrak , Lancaster General Hospital, and the fun energy of Penn Medicine Park for Stormers games. Inside, you’ll love how the home balances historic charm and modern comfort: original hardwood floors, exposed brick, and an open-concept main level anchored by a cozy electric fireplace. The kitchen is ready for real cooking, featuring an upgraded LG InstaView refrigerator and a 6-burner gas stove. The home includes 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths spread across three floors. Bonus Room is currently used as a gym that can easily flex into an office, studio, playroom, or guest space. One of the bedrooms even features a private rear balcony, a perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet break at the end of the day. And then there’s the feature that’s almost impossible to find in the city: two private off-street parking spaces and a Level 2 EV charger. Add in efficient natural gas heat, a smart thermostat, and a low-maintenance lot with no grass to mow, and you’ve got a home that’s as practical as it is charming. Schedule your showing today!

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $93,200, well below the ~$164,950 its asking price implies at Lancaster County's common level ratio (50.0%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $1,495/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($93,200, 2018 base year) × current millage. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Lancaster County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.

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.
