Property Description
Welcome to 146 E James Street-a beautifully reimagined 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath city home that blends modern upgrades with just the right amount of original character. Nearly every inch has been thoughtfully renovated, making this home truly move-in ready. Out front, you'll find a unique covered porch with a charming wooden swing-perfect for slow mornings or evening chats. Step inside to soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and a fireplace accented by shiplap and custom built-ins. The kitchen is completely new and thoughtfully designed, featuring soft gray shaker-style cabinetry, floating shelves, granite countertops, an island with seating, a sleek range hood, tile flooring, and a coordinating backsplash. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a rare city pantry, a well-sized laundry room, and a convenient half bath. Upstairs, the primary suite is a standout with an exposed brick feature wall, a stylish barn door, and a spacious layout. The en-suite bathroom includes a custom double vanity, free-standing soaking tub, and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. The second full bath also offers generous space, a double vanity, and a tiled tub/shower combo. The third floor adds flexibility with an additional bedroom and brand-new carpeting. Every detail has been considered-from the modern black and wood light fixtures to the new gas HVAC system with central AC, updated windows, new roof, and major electric and plumbing updates. The fully fenced backyard provides privacy and a perfect city retreat. Located directly across from Lancaster General Hospital and just blocks from Downtown Lancaster and all of it's great local restaurants, shops, central market, art galleries and more! 2 permit parking passes per household guaranteed $30 a year per car.
