Property Description
Welcome to 408 N Duke Street, a gracious Victorian-style semi-detached home located in one of Lancaster's most sought-after neighborhoods. Rich in history, character, and charm, this beautifully maintained property offers the perfect blend of timeless architectural detail and modern convenience—just steps away from downtown Lancaster's vibrant culture and amenities.
Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort
Built with craftsmanship that has stood the test of time, this elegant residence showcases the best of Victorian design—from its decorative moldings and tall ceilings to its original woodwork and spacious formal rooms. The formal living and dining rooms are ideal for entertaining, featuring large windows that fill the space with natural light and highlight the beautiful hardwood floors and period detailing.
The updated kitchen offers a blend of modern function and classic style, complete with ample cabinetry and workspace for the home chef. A convenient first-floor powder room adds to the home's thoughtful layout for daily living and entertaining.
Spacious and Versatile Living
Upstairs, you'll find four to five bedrooms across the second and third floors, offering flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Two full bathrooms serve the upper floors, and the generous room sizes, high ceilings, and continued period details create an inviting and peaceful retreat.
Whether you need additional bedrooms, creative space, or a quiet study, this home provides the space and flexibility to meet your needs.
Outdoor Tranquility in the City
Step outside into your own private garden oasis—a hidden gem tucked behind the home. Mature plantings, flowering shrubs, and a stone path provide a charming escape from the bustle of city life. This tranquil yard is perfect for gardening, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying a quiet moment surrounded by nature.
Unbeatable Location
Situated in the North Duke Street Historic District, this home is within walking distance to some of Lancaster's finest amenities: Central Market, the Fulton Theatre, Lancaster General Hospital, local schools, parks, boutique shops, and an impressive array of restaurants and coffee houses. Enjoy the walkability and vibrant cultural lifestyle that downtown Lancaster has to offer.
408 N Duke Street is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lancaster's historic charm in a truly unbeatable location. Homes in this area rarely become available, and this one has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated, offering both style and substance.
