$775,000
4 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths
A four-bedroom home, a greenhouse, and a 3,000+ square-foot warehouse - all on one city block in downtown Lancaster. Welcome to 350 W Orange Street, a true hidden gem in Lancaster City’s Chestnut Hill neighborhood. Spanning the length of an entire city block, this one-of-a-kind property combines a beautifully updated 2,500-square-foot home, a private fenced garden with a functional glass greenhouse, and a two-story warehouse offering more than 3,000 square feet to work, create, entertain, and store. All of it sits just a short walk from Central Market, Gallery Row, and the heart of downtown Lancaster. Inside the three-level home, the character and craftsmanship of an older Lancaster City property blend seamlessly with thoughtful modern updates. Ten-foot ceilings, wood floors, solid wood doors, detailed millwork, and pocket doors are found throughout, allowing rooms to open up for a crowd or close off for a cozy night at home. Two staircases serve the house - one at the front and another providing easy access toward the backyard. The first floor offers generous living and entertaining spaces, a powder room, and a flexible dining and prep room just off the kitchen, ready for a long dinner or an ambitious canning weekend. Fully renovated in 2020, the kitchen features custom cabinetry, upgraded countertops, high-end appliances, a custom refrigerator, extensive marble prep space, and thoughtfully designed pull-out shelving. There’s even a hidden surprise that we’ll let you discover at the showing. Upstairs, the second floor does a lot of the heavy lifting, with spacious bedrooms, flexible office or nursery space, a library, full bathroom, laundry, and a beautiful primary suite with a walk-in closet and tiled en suite bathroom. Continue to the third floor, where things get even more flexible. Use it as a fourth bedroom, playroom, home office, family room, studio, or whatever the next chapter needs it to be. The back door opens to a private, fenced garden with room to gather, dine outdoors, sit around the firepit, or simply enjoy the yard. A stone patio creates another place to entertain, while the functional glass greenhouse is ready for seedlings in March and more tomatoes than you know what to do with by August. A pebbled path connects the house, greenhouse, garden, and warehouse. It’s where the party can stay late and where the walk between home and work is only a few steps. Then there’s the warehouse. Built in 1963 as the home of Goldbach Decorating Service Inc., this two-story warehouse is no ordinary garage. Offering more than 3,000 square feet and room for upwards of ten vehicles, it also has rough-ins for heat and plumbing already in place. The current owners have taken the space far beyond storage - hosting concerts, pop-ups, private dinners, and gatherings beneath the rafters. Picture a long table running down the middle, string lights overhead, and a band loading in through the garage doors. Upstairs, the expansive second level is ready for whatever comes next - a ceramics or woodworking studio, showroom, office, gym, workshop, creative space, or simply more storage than you would ever expect to find in Lancaster City. The location ties it all together. Central Market, Gallery Row, the Fulton Theatre, Luca, Hi-Fi Izakaya, West Art, Buchanan Park, and the coffee shops, restaurants, galleries, and destinations that make downtown Lancaster what it is are all within walking distance, while the property still offers convenient access in and out of the city. It���s the kind of property people leave larger cities searching for and almost never find. Live in the house. Garden in the backyard. Work or create in the warehouse. Entertain throughout all three. 350 W Orange Street is difficult to fit neatly into a category - and that’s exactly what makes it so special.

37 E Mermaid Ln, Philadelphia
$569,000
2 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths
37 E. Mermaid Lane | Chestnut Hill Lovely, historic one-of-a-kind home with authentic character and good bones. Tucked away in Chestnut Hill, 37 E. Mermaid Lane is nestled in a mini arboretum setting. A beautiful opportunity to make it your own. This home immediately reveals its character—not through trendy finishes, but through gracious proportions, original details, abundant windows, and light spaces that have evolved naturally over time Step inside and the warmth begins with original hardwood floors that continue throughout the home. A generously sized living room and formal dining room provide comfortable spaces for everyday living and entertaining, while a separate sitting nook is anchored by a working wood-burning fireplace—an inviting reminder of the home's enduring charm. The large eat-in kitchen retains its original wood cabinetry and features a wall oven, electric cooktop, stainless-steel refrigerator and an impressive collection of windows that fills the room with natural light. Two exterior access doors add convenience and connection to the surrounding grounds, while original architectural details, including barn-style doors, contribute another layer of personality. Upstairs, the scale continues. The exceptionally spacious front bedroom offers room for substantial furnishings and includes two walk-in closets plus an additional reach-in closet. Another storage closet provides access to one of the property's most compelling possibilities: a full-length attic with standing height. Currently used for storage with an office positioned toward the front, the attic spans the length of the house and includes two windows. It offers significant potential to be thoughtfully finished into additional living space—perhaps an office, studio, retreat or additional room, subject to applicable approvals. The second bedroom is comfortably proportioned for a queen-size bed and enjoys multiple windows overlooking the property's lush greenery. Natural light is a defining feature. Windows appear throughout the home—including the kitchen, bathrooms and stairway—creating an airy radiant quality and framing views of the surrounding landscape. And the setting deserves its own moment. Mature trees, with one of the last living chestnut tree, beautiful ferns and layers of established greenery give the grounds a wonderfully peaceful, garden environment. The basement is accessible from the yard, while a detached garage and driveway parking for approximately three cars provide valuable off-street parking. Why it matters: This isn't a house that needs to become something entirely different. It is a home with good bones and authentic character, ready for its next owner to preserve what is special while thoughtfully modernizing it for the way they live today. All of this is set within Chestnut Hill, one of Philadelphia's most distinctive neighborhoods—a community celebrated for its historic architecture, tree-lined streets, independent shops and restaurants, neighborhood traditions and proximity to the extraordinary natural beauty of the Wissahickon. 37 E. Mermaid Lane offers something increasingly difficult to find: character, a sanctuary you don't have to manufacture, space with possibilities, beautiful grounds and the opportunity to create a home that feels entirely your own.
