239 Lancaster Avenue

For almost 60 years the same family has occupied 239 Lancaster Avenue, a historic street of beautiful homes and trees on the West Side of Lancaster. Now it is being offered for sale with much of its historic charm and some surprising modern features. This site has raised three boys, a chef, an art collector and the talent and love that has gone into this house should shed good fortune on anyone who owns it in the future. It is a 4-5 bedroom home with two and a half baths. The home was redesigned by Tom dePaul in the late 70s to include a steel stair rail and raised dining room. The first floor bath was completed in 2019. Book shelves abound in this book lovers house as well as spaces for sculpture. The multicolored kitchen features a Chefs gas range, wall oven, and stainless steel pot hanging vent locally designed. The eat in area looks onto the luscious back garden, a feast for the eyes and a most desirable feature of the east side of Lancaster Ave. The primary suite on the second floor features a bath, dressing and closets for two. The front bedroom has original rounded windows and there are two more bedrooms on the 3rd floor. New sewer and tree work were completed in 2026 to have the home ready for the next generation. Lancaster Ave is often called the most beautiful street in Lancaster. Come and see for yourself.
