Back on the market through no fault of the seller. The previous buyer was unable to obtain financing.Tucked into Lancaster’s West End "Jewels" neighborhood, this thoughtfully updated home blends classic charm with tasteful modern improvements. This home brings you beautiful refurbished hardwood floors; a fully renovated, stylish kitchen with granite countertops, stone backsplash and stainless steel appliances; and a newly-added half bath. You may appreciate the carefully selected finishes throughout that reflect the attention that has gone into the home. You also get a new HVAC system. Parking is a rare commodity in this neighborhood, but with this house you get an off-street driveway that could accommodate two vehicles. The neighborhood is known for its charming tree-lined streets. You'd be a few blocks from city parks, shopping, restaurants, and all the amenities Lancaster provides. Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening at home on the porch, or taking advantage of everything the surrounding community has to offer, this may be the place for you. The home at 835 Ocean balances comfort, convenience, and connection to the city.
