Listing description

Some locations cannot be replicated. Set on nearly an acre just off Lititz Pike, 76 Buch Avenue sits in the heart of Manheim Township—minutes from Overlook Community Campus, Landis Woods, Bucher Elementary, and the Fruitville/Lititz Pike corridor—yet the lot itself is tucked away. Mature trees, a deep lawn, and a wooded backdrop give the property a privacy most Manheim Township homes never achieve. Drive a few minutes and you are in downtown Lancaster, downtown Lititz, or in the middle of rolling farmland. The outdoor living is the surprise. An in-ground pool and a south-facing covered patio turn the backyard into an oasis: morning light, afternoon warmth, shade when you want it, and a place to gather without leaving the property. Add a three-season room and the outdoor living becomes year-round. That combination—location, a secluded lot, an in-ground pool, and a south-facing covered patio—is hard to find. Inside, the home is a 1970s ranch with a log-cabin sensibility: single-level living, an open flow through the main rooms, and a real fireplace that already wants to be the center of the house. The conceptual interior pictures show how special this home can become—vaulted white ceilings, dark timber beams, a stone fireplace wall, a loft overlook, and a kitchen that belongs to the living space. Those images are a vision, bring your own imagination to this awesome location. The house needs updating. Dated finishes, and deferred cosmetics are part of the story. What you cannot replicate is the setting. A private, tree-buffered lot this close to Manheim Township schools, parks, and conveniences, with a pool and a south-facing covered patio already in place, does not come around twice. Bring a contractor and a plan. The land and the outdoor living are already doing the hard work. The house is ready for you.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $205,900, well below the ~$287,500 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 $1,700/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($205,900, 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 2025 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.
