This solid-brick home has been beautifully renovated with the help of a professional home designer who carefully selected the finishes throughout. From the custom details to the elevated materials, every space has been designed with a sense of luxury while still feeling warm and inviting. Each room has its own character, while the design flows beautifully throughout the home. This is far from your typical renovation—the attention to detail is evident the moment you walk through the door. Offering more than 2,600 square feet, the home includes five bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The entry opens to a welcoming foyer with the beautiful original oak staircase. To the right, the first of two living rooms leads to a spacious dining room distinguished by a custom built-in, solid wood sideboard with an arched tile surround. The light-filled kitchen features high ceilings and striking black-and-white checkered tile flooring, giving the space a timeless, sophisticated feel. A hand-painted mural provides a distinctive transition to the oversized second living room, where a fireplace, vaulted ceiling, and views of the private backyard create an peaceful setting. Two off-street parking spaces add convenience. The second floor includes three bedrooms, including a well-appointed primary suite with a private bathroom featuring elevated free standing double bowl vanity and beautifully finished tiled shower and flooring. An additional full bathroom is located off the hall. Two more bedrooms on the third floor provide flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. Throughout the home, thoughtful craftsmanship and designer-selected finishes create a polished yet livable environment, from the welcoming entry to the bedrooms on the third floor. The location is equally appealing, with an easy walk to downtown, to West Art, and many restaurants.

425 N Queen Street, Lancaster, PA At last, the Lancaster City property you have been waiting for — a rare marriage of ornate historic architecture, fine craftsmanship, flexible living, and investment potential in one of Lancaster’s most dynamic mixed-use corridors. Set along North Queen Street, this striking semi-detached residence immediately captures attention with its distinctive façade, brick archway, turret-style architectural detail, Tudor-inspired gable accents, and sandstone brick elements. Recently repainted and thoughtfully enhanced, the exterior blends historic presence with artistic charm. A truly unforgettable feature is the enchanting alley wall and gate — crafted with wood clapboard siding, cedar shake shingles, an ornate wooden door, and a whimsical hanging sculpture that evokes the feeling of stepping into a secret garden. Inside, the home offers approximately 4052 square feet of above-grade living space, with additional lower-level and third-floor areas that expand the possibilities even further. A total of 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, a basement, finished third-floor space, patios, porch areas, a gazebo, pocket doors, crown molding, wood wainscoting, custom hardware, custom interior trim, decorative fireplaces, and 2-zone HVAC. Extensive renovations completed between 2020 and 2025 brought modern comfort and confidence to the home while preserving its architectural soul. Improvements include a remodeled kitchen, four new bathrooms, updated electrical, plumbing, heating, central air, an on-demand tankless water heater, approximately 80% replacement windows, and general renovations throughout. The kitchen is beautifully finished with fine custom cabinetry, beautiful upgraded countertops, and a layout that supports both everyday living and entertaining. The primary bath ensuite is especially impressive, featuring marble and tile finishes, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower that creates a refined retreat within the home. The floor plan is exceptionally versatile. The first floor includes an office suite adjoining a sitting room, with its own exterior entrance — an ideal setup for a professional home occupation such as a CPA, attorney, consultant, or private studio. For buyers seeking a live-work property, this layout offers both presence and practicality. The second floor adds another layer of flexibility, with a separate exterior stairwell and independent ingress/egress leading to a portion of the home that could function as a one- or two-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen. Whether used for extended family, guest quarters, rental income, or future conversion, the layout creates options that are rarely found in a Lancaster City residence of this character. The third floor offers additional bonus space, bedroom potential, loft use, studio space, or future renovation opportunity. The lower level provides approximately 1,400+ square feet of basement area, adding storage, utility, and expansion flexibility. Outdoors, the property continues to impress with hardscaping, herringbone-patterned patio areas, select stonework, a gazebo, covered porch spaces, and garden-style features that feel private, curated, and unexpected for the city setting. The property also adjoins a parking lot and currently leases one parking space. Zoned MU Mixed Use, the property may offer additional potential for multi-unit conversion, professional use, or short-term rental use, subject to buyer due diligence and municipal approvals. Based on the current layout, the home may have the potential to be subdivided into multiple units, with a possible three- to four-unit configuration depending on zoning, code, permitting, and design feasibility.
