This two-unit duplex offers an upper and lower layout with distinct unit configurations: a spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath unit and a 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit. Both units were completely renovated in 2021 and include durable LVP flooring, granite countertops, updated lighting, and updated plumbing fixtures. The property also features central A/C in both units and efficient gas heat for year-round comfort. Throughout the home, the classic character is retained with exposed brick and arched windows, complemented by an abundance of natural light. Practical day-to-day conveniences include generous kitchen cabinet space, ample closet storage, and in-unit washers and dryers.

Located in the heart of Lancaster City, the property is described as being steps from the Amtrak station and within the LGH employee zone. Penn Square, Central Market, and Lancaster City’s dining, shopping, and cultural options are identified as being within walking distance.

For tenants and buyers, this is a straightforward fit for anyone seeking a turnkey, renovated duplex with separate living spaces and built-in laundry convenience. With both units currently rented, the property is positioned for immediate occupancy, while owner-occupants can use one unit and rent the other to help offset expenses.
