Property Description

Experience a property of extraordinary distinction - one that stands alone in Lancaster City history. Bearing a rare and storied date stone, this is the oldest city townhouse in Lancaster, with origins dating back to 1762. Originally constructed by William and Elizabeth Bowsman, the sandstone Georgian townhome has been meticulously preserved, honoring its architectural integrity while seamlessly accommodating modern use. An extraordinary opportunity to own a luxurious residence and landmark property in the heart of vibrant Downtown Lancaster, this home is ideally positioned in the Central Business District just one block from Penn Square. Enjoy walkable access to an exceptional array of upscale restaurants, charming coffee shops, artisanal bakeries, boutique shopping, and cultural landmarks, including Lancaster Central Market, the courthouse, Fulton Theatre, and Ware Center - all mere steps away. The property offers exceptional mixed-use potential, with approximately 5,500 square feet of commercial space across the first and lower levels. The primary office space was thoughtfully designed by renowned architect C. Emlen Urban for Milton Hershey, intended to entice him to return his confectionery business to the area. A rare and invaluable amenity in the city, the property also includes a 14-car rear garage equipped with an EV charging station, further enhancing its appeal as a premier business opportunity in a prime commercial zone. Above the commercial space lies a magnificently restored 3,500-square-foot residence featuring three bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath. Completely upgraded between 2015 and 2016, the home blends historic character with refined, metropolitan finishes. Soaring ceilings and an open, light-filled layout create a sense of effortless sophistication and residential comfort rarely found in the city. Combining unparalleled history, an irreplaceable downtown location, flexible commercial opportunity, and exceptional residential living, this is a truly singular offering - representing the very finest of Lancaster City living.
