Imagine starting your day with a walk to Lancaster Central Market, grabbing coffee on your way to Penn Square, and coming home to a space that blends historic character with modern comfort. The property features a spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath unit and a well-appointed 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit—both completely renovated in 2021. Thoughtful updates include LVP flooring, granite countertops, updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, and central A/C in both units, along with efficient gas heat.
