658 W Chestnut St, Lancaster, PA, 17603

Nestled in the heart of Lancaster's Chestnut Hill, this Victorian-era twin at 658 W Chestnut St offers 2,509 square feet of historic character and essential modern updates. Step through the double entry doors into a beautifully tiled vestibule, where original details like 11-foot ceilings, pocket doors, cast iron claw foot tub, and a gold-leaf transom window speak to the home's 1880s heritage.

We've invested in the systems that matter most: completely new electrical in 2024 (goodbye knob-and-tube!), hot water heater, radon mitigation system, and a complete front porch overhaul in 2023. The five bedrooms include a custom walk-in closet, and three full baths provide modern comfort while preserving the home's historic charm. The small fenced yard provides a private outdoor space, perfect for pet owners or patio gardeners.

The bright, spacious rooms and dedicated office space make this home perfect for family life and remote work. While the kitchen presents an opportunity for your personal vision, we're specifically seeking homeowners who will cherish this property as their primary residence.

We're offering below-market seller financing (prime minus 1%) to support owner-occupants who will maintain and improve this historic property as their primary residence. This is not available for investment or fix-and-flip purchases.

Yes, there's value potential here - our next-door neighbors' renovation proved that when they sold for $570K last summer. But what matters more to us is finding buyers who will be good stewards of this historic property, just as we've tried to be.
