Built in 1920, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence offers approximately 1,760 square feet of living space on a 0.23-acre lot in East Lampeter Township.

The first-floor laundry room, conveniently located just off the kitchen, adds everyday practicality. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom includes an adjoining bonus room that would make an ideal home office, nursery, dressing room, or private sitting area.

It currently features a vegetable garden with ample room remaining for outdoor gatherings, play, or future landscaping. Conveniently located just minutes from Greenfield Corporate Center, Costco, Lancaster City, Bird-in-Hand, shopping, dining, schools, Route 30, and other major commuter routes, this home offers the convenience of nearby amenities while enjoying the peaceful backdrop of neighboring farms and horse pastures.

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.
