Property Description
Welcome to 731 Saint Joseph St! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers approximately 1,212 square feet of living space on a unique 4,792 sq. ft. lot that is hard to find this close to downtown Lancaster.

The unfinished basement provides additional potential, with rough-in plumbing already in place for a future bathroom. Finish the space to create additional living area, a rec room, home office, or whatever best fits your needs. The property has also benefited from recent exterior improvements, including new concrete installed around the foundation perimeter for added protection and improved water management.
