    What's special

    Private fully fenced yardNew roofRenovated kitchenBright open roomsNatural-gas rangeCovered front porchRefinished hardwood floors
    Discover this updated semi-detached home in Lancaster City’s historic Prospect Heights neighborhood—where classic 1930s character meets thoughtful modern upgrades. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home spans roughly 1,100 square feet and sits on a manageable city lot with a fenced backyard for outdoor living. The covered front porch sets the tone for its inviting curb appeal. Inside, refinished hardwood floors flow through bright, open rooms that connect seamlessly between living, dining, and kitchen areas. The renovated kitchen features newer cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a natural-gas range—perfect for home cooking. Additional improvements include electrical upgrades, a new roof (installed recently with warranty), and professional brick repointing on the rear exterior. Energy-efficient systems are already in place with natural gas for the stove, furnace, dryer, and water heater, plus a central-air system for year-round comfort. The home also includes an active radon-mitigation system for peace of mind. Upstairs, three bedrooms continue the hardwood flooring theme and share a full bath with updated fixtures and tile. The basement provides additional storage and utility space, offering flexibility for laundry, hobby, or workshop needs. Out back, a private, fully fenced yard creates room for gardening, pets, or a small patio setup. The property’s semi-detached layout means only one shared wall, allowing for side-yard access and added light exposure. Street parking is available along the wide, tree-lined road. Location is a major highlight—just 0.4 miles to Southern Market Lancaster’s food hall and event space, 0.5 miles to Spring House Brewery for local craft beer, and 1.2 miles to Lancaster Central Market, the nation’s oldest continuously operated farmers market. Lancaster County Central Park is about 1.5 miles away, offering hiking trails, open fields, and recreation areas along the Conestoga River. Quick access to major routes (US-222 and US-30) connects to surrounding towns and employment centers. Additional details to note: the home includes a floor plan viewer for buyers wanting to see layout flow and room dimensions, plus high-resolution photos showcasing each space. All improvements have been completed with attention to function and style, making this property move-in ready for its next owner. If you’re searching for an affordable city home near Lancaster downtown restaurants, parks, and entertainment venues, 55 S Pearl Street delivers historic character, modern systems, and a prime location in one complete package.
