Property Description
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. Beneath the current flooring, hardwood floors await restoration-offering the perfect opportunity to blend classic charm with your own personal style and vision. Whether you're looking to update, restore, or reimagine, this home invites you to create something truly special. Its location is just as appealing-less than a mile from Franklin & Marshall College (about an easy 8-minute walk), and conveniently close to downtown Lancaster's shops, dining, and culture. Enjoy the charm of the neighborhood with local favorites like Chestnut Hill Cafe and 551 West just a short stroll away. And in a city where parking is often at a premium, this home offers the added benefit of off-street parking-a true bonus for Lancaster City living.
