Listing description

Welcome to 403 N Queen Street, a historic and incredibly charming three-story brick townhome in the heart of downtown Lancaster City. Blending unbeatable character with thoughtful modern updates, this 3-bedroom home offers approximately 1,950 square feet of finished living space, with original varied-width hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and an abundance of natural light throughout. The main level features a beautifully renovated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel gas appliances, while the home also offers two updated full bathrooms, second-floor laundry, central air, and a newer roof. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms are complemented by a versatile loft/bonus room that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, office, or additional living space. Step outside and you'll discover a truly exceptional private backyard oasis, complete with a covered patio and outdoor living room, gas patio heater, artificial turf, secondary patio, and privacy fencing—an incredibly rare find for a downtown property! And the location is hard to beat, with some of Lancaster's best restaurants, bars, entertainment, and attractions just steps from your front door, including Central Market, Decades, The Belvedere, 401 Prime, and countless other downtown favorites. Two covered and private off-street parking spaces are also available for lease just a couple doors down, offering a convenient parking solution without sacrificing the walkability and lifestyle that make this location so desirable. Beyond its appeal as a primary residence, 403 N Queen also presents an intriguing investment opportunity, as the property is located within a zoning district that permits short-term rentals (AirBnB/VRBO/etc), subject to approval from the Lancaster City zoning office - and the location of any future short-term rental here would surely draw plenty of interest! Whether you're looking for an incredible downtown residence, a walkable city lifestyle, or a property with potential huge investment upside, 403 N Queen Street offers a rare combination of historic charm, modern comfort, outdoor living, and an unbeatable Lancaster City location.
