Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This exceptional mixed-use property pairs a first-floor commercial storefront with an upscale residence across the 2nd and 3rd floors. The home was custom designed and includes two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a den/office, coffered ceilings, hardwood flooring, exposed brick accents, and a custom kitchen. The spacious primary suite features a claw foot soaking tub, a large closet, and prominent windows offering western views. The commercial space will be delivered vacant, allowing the next owner to tailor the ground-floor layout to retail, office, gallery, or other permitted uses within the Central Business District.

Located on the vibrant 300 block of North Queen Street in Downtown Lancaster, the property is within walking distance of a range of dining, galleries, and entertainment options, as well as Central Market, Penn Square, and the Convention Center. The offering also includes one off-street parking space, supporting convenient access for residents and customers.

For owner-occupants, this configuration supports a true live-work setup with direct separation between the street-level business space and the private residence above. For investors and entrepreneurs, the vacant storefront provides flexibility to match current and evolving tenant needs, while the included residence amenities create a compelling option for those seeking an integrated commercial and residential ownership structure. An open house is scheduled for Wednesday, June 17 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
