One-of-a-kind historic character, a chef's kitchen, and your own private rooftop deck.
Some buildings you just don't forget, and this is one of them. 513 Locust is a striking historic brick rowhome with a mansard roof, arched dormer windows, deep green shutters, and blooming window boxes lining the front. Crowning it all is a landmark clock face flanked by hand-carved winged dragons above the entrance, the kind of detail you simply cannot find in new construction. his is timeless curb appeal with a personality all its own.
Step inside and the character keeps going. The unit lives bigger than its square footage, loaded with features you almost never see at this price.
The kitchen is the showstopper. Rich custom maple cabinetry wraps the whole space, anchored by a center island with a gas cooktop and room to prep, cook, and gather. You get double wall ovens, a full-size stainless steel french-door refrigerator, and detailed built-ins including glass-front display cabinets and a plate rack. A real kitchen for someone who actually cooks.
The open living and dining area flows right off the kitchen under a modern ceiling fan, with warm hardwood floors throughout and oversized windows pulling in natural light and treetop views. Comfort is covered both ways: efficient ductless mini-split cooling plus classic radiator heat.
Upstairs, the private loft level adds a full bath with a soaking tub and a rare double-sink vanity. Then step out to your private rooftop deck for open views across town toward the ridgeline. Morning coffee, evening sunsets, all to yourself. A covered porch off the main level gives you a second outdoor space.
You're in the heart of walkable, revitalizing Columbia, minutes from the Susquehanna riverfront, local shops and restaurants, with quick Route 30 access to Lancaster or York.
Historic charm, a custom kitchen, hardwood floors, two outdoor spaces, and a private rooftop deck. This one won't last. Schedule your showing today.
