Nestled in the renowned Gallery Row District of downtown Lancaster City, 138 N. Water Street is city living at its best with short walks to Central Market, Zeotropolis, Meisse Candies, The Ware Center, Fulton Theater, and endless shops, restaurants and pubs. Completely renovated in 2010, including a new addition, this home has a modern, urban industrial design perfect for downtown living. An eye-catching front exterior greets you with stunning colors and artisan crafted metal railings and breezeway gate. Inside you will find exposed, original 10’ high wooden beam ceilings, built-in wood and pipe shelving from local craftsman, and a large soapstone island with stool seating, under-counter lighting, and corrugated metal wrap. Bamboo kitchen cabinets, exposed black metal HVAC system, clever hidden TV mount, and sun-tube from the roof brightening the kitchen make this first floor space truly unique. In the new rear addition of the home (2010), sits an additional bedroom/office, powder room, and first floor laundry. The 2nd floor contains a bright and sunny master bedroom with on-suite bathroom to enjoy. Highlights include a walk-in closet, soaking tub/jacuzzi, tile shower, and tons of natural light through a double door leading to a large rear roof deck where you can enjoy coffee in the morning and cocktails at night. One additional bedroom and another full bathroom finish out the 2nd floor. Down to the basement, where the current owner has turned this space into an office/lounge area. Parged walls, newly painted walls/ceilings, updated electric for electronics, and plenty of storage space. Peace of mind with fully updated plumbing and electric during the 2010 renovation. Exterior rear boasts a low-maintenance gated brick courtyard with mature landscaping and storage, leading to 2 off-street parking spaces. Doesn’t get any better than this. A rare find in the heart of the city. Check out this exciting home today.
