Welcome to 738 Marietta Avenue, nestled in the sought-after Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Lancaster City. This well-loved home has been cherished by the same family since 1961 and is filled with warmth, character, and decades of memories—now ready for its next chapter. Inside, you’ll find beautiful original wood trim and molding that reflect the home’s timeless craftsmanship.
