19 Howard Ave, Lancaster, PA 17602

Property Description

Step into a piece of living history at 19 Howard Avenue! Built in 1870, this vibrant brick semi-detached home is a beautiful chapter in the story of Mussertown—a neighborhood once bustling with 19th-century artisans. While this area was originally dotted with tiny one-story log cabins, this residence arrived as part of a "modern" wave of two-story architecture that redefined the Lancaster skyline over 150 years ago. Inside, the home perfectly balances its post-Civil War soul with fresh, energetic updates. The wide entryway leads you into a living room anchored by a classic fireplace and charming built-ins, creating a cozy spot to relax. The flow continues into a bright dining area and a kitchen outfitted with sleek stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, the primary bedroom serves up major character with gorgeous exposed brick, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide plenty of space to make your own across 1,500 square feet of living area. Outside, the large, fully fenced backyard and patio are ready for weekend BBQs or letting a pup run free. Living here means being immersed in a city of "firsts." You’re just moments from the iconic Lancaster Central Market—the oldest continuously operating farmers market in the U.S., serving the community since 1730. You can also brag that your new hometown once served as the Capital of the United States for a single, historic day in 1777! From the Germanic architectural roots of the neighborhood to the nearby estate of James Buchanan, the heritage here is unmatched. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of the 717’s incredible history. Schedule your showing today and fall in love with the character of Howard Avenue!
