318 N President Avenue, Lancaster, PA 17603Asking Price of: $824,900

RARE opportunity to own a carefully restored Colonial Revival home designed by renowned Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban. So much to love about this historical property--from the convenient and sought-after School Lane Hills location on the edge of Lancaster City, to the generous and lush .6 acre lot, to the architect-designed, detached 3 car 2-story garage/carriage house built in 2002 to emulate the 1914 CE Urban design of the house. With stylistic integrity at the forefront, the current owner has meticulously and deliberately restored many elements of the home to honor its past. The exterior of the house and garage as well as the first two floors of the interior of the house have been professionally painted with historical color selections, and the floor of the veranda has been professionally fitted with Sapele mahogany. A complete slate roof replacement in 2025, rewired period-correct light fixtures, hand-refinished door and window hardware, and Allied storm windows to insulate and preserve the original multi-pane windows are some of the key features that have been completed. The main floor of the home features a grand entryway flooded with natural light, a formal dining room, kitchen and butler's pantry, and a generous living room with wood burning fireplace and built in cabinetry. Perfect for gatherings of family and friends, french doors leading to the veranda provide seamless flow between indoors and out. The kitchen leads to the private rear patio with included hot tub and serene views of the backyard, an ideal place to enjoy morning coffee or an afternoon book. 4 bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor, and 2 more bedrooms and another full bath on the third floor complete the living space in the main home. Savvy buyers will appreciate the potential for an accessory dwelling unit on the second floor of the garage--building has electricity and plumbing has been roughed in but is not currently connected. 318 N President Ave is approachable yet stately, a beautiful example of historical Lancaster architecture in an enviable location, walkable to Buchanan Park, F&M, West Art and more, with quick and easy access to shopping, dining, and major highways.
