Property Description
Welcome to 305 W Lemon Street-one of the few homes in Downtown Lancaster with its very own architectural turret, offering truly unique living space across the second and third floors. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath semi-detached home has been completely renovated inside and out, blending modern amenities with the timeless charm of a home built in 1900. Located in the heart of Lancaster City, just steps from Lemon Street Market, 401 Prime, Cabalar, Callaloo, and countless cafes and coffee shops, this is city living at its finest. Inside, you'll find a bright, wide-open floor plan on the main level featuring original hardwood floors, high ceilings, a striking exposed brick wall, and a modern staircase that ties it all together. The gourmet kitchen is a true showpiece, boasting a massive 4x9 granite island with seating, subway tile backsplash, soft-close cabinetry, floating shelves, and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes the turret as a charming bonus space and a beautifully finished bath with custom vanities, floor-to-ceiling subway tile, and a step-in sauna included in the sale for your own personal spa experience. The second floor also offers a secondary bedroom, full bath, and convenient laundry, while the third floor features a large bedroom with a generous closet (don't forget to check out the "secret door", and the awesome little room in the turret it leads to!). With newer roof, windows, plumbing, electrical, and central AC, this home offers peace of mind alongside impeccable style. The owner has leased and paid for an off-street parking spot in the rear lot through the end of 2025, adding valuable convenience in this vibrant city location. Don't miss your chance to own one of Lancaster's most distinctive and move-in-ready city homes.
