This Chestnut Hill charmer is ready for you to move in! The quintessential Lancaster City lifestyle awaits you - within walking distance of Luca, Dog Star Books, Franklin & Marshall College, Buchanan Park, Central Market, and so much more! A private, backyard patio oasis provides great entertainment space. The main living area has gorgeous wood floors and a decorative fireplace, ready for holiday decor. The dining room is perfect to enjoy meals prepared in the spacious kitchen on those nights when you don't want take-out from one of the nearby restaurants. 4 bedrooms and a full bath are on the second floor. The attic has plentiful storage as well as a finished area. The unique basement has a partially finished area that was used as a rec room and also has a half bath. Access to the outside is through a standard exterior door, not the typical folding basement hatchway. Need an in-home office? Man cave? Craft room? There's a room here for it! Enjoy the virtually staged photos for inspiration. This block of Lancaster Ave is permit parking only after 6pm which makes street parking easily accessible. In addition, the seller had started the process of registering/licensing the property as a rental investment. The groundwork has been completed - including the lead paint testing and licensing. The seller's change of plans makes an easy transition for anyone looking to add to/start their investment portfolio. Opportunity abounds at 420 Lancaster Ave - come see it for yourself.
