If you love the character of Lancaster City but do not want a long list of projects, take a look at 326 Lancaster Avenue. Located in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood, this three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home features hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, updated bathrooms and central air. A lot of the expensive work has already been handled, including a new roof in 2023, several replacement windows and a replaced sewer line from the house to the street, which is a major improvement for an older Lancaster City home. The third floor provides additional flexible space for an office, studio or bonus room. Out back, the owners added a large deck and covered porch that create a great place to relax, entertain or enjoy the backyard. The basement is unfinished, but the floor and walls have been fully resealed, making it a much cleaner and more useful space for laundry, storage or hobbies. All of this is conveniently located near Buchanan Park, Franklin & Marshall College and downtown Lancaster.

Recorded property taxes: $5,735 (2026 bill as recorded in the MLS).
