About This Home

If you’ve been waiting for a Lancaster City home that truly checks every box, this is it. Located at 147 E Liberty St in Lancaster City and in Manheim Township School District, this home offers the perfect mix of walkable city convenience and suburban-style extras. You’re just minutes from Amtrak , Lancaster General Hospital, and the fun energy of Penn Medicine Park for Stormers games. Inside, you’ll love how the home balances historic charm and modern comfort: original hardwood floors, exposed brick, and an open-concept main level anchored by a cozy electric fireplace. The kitchen is ready for real cooking, featuring an upgraded LG InstaView refrigerator and a 6-burner gas stove. The home includes 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths spread across three floors. Bonus Room is currently used as a gym that can easily flex into an office, studio, playroom, or guest space. One of the bedrooms even features a private rear balcony, a perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet break at the end of the day. And then there’s the feature that’s almost impossible to find in the city: two private off-street parking spaces and a Level 2 EV charger. Add in efficient natural gas heat, a smart thermostat, and a low-maintenance lot with no grass to mow, and you’ve got a home that’s as practical as it is charming. ****New 3rd floor roof installed in March 2026 and Porch Roof was done in 2024.**** Schedule your showing today!
