Description

Welcome to 622 Saint Joseph Street — a beautifully updated, meticulously maintained, move-in-ready gem nestled in Lancaster City's beloved Cabbage Hill/SOWE neighborhood. Just a short stroll from downtown’s vibrant shops, restaurants, and entertainment, this fully renovated 4-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of historic charm, modern updates, and location, making it ideal as a primary residence, short-term rental, or investment property. This was not a flip — quality materials and thoughtful workmanship shine throughout all 1,503 square feet of finished living space, with an additional 624 square feet of clean, usable basement space below. The addition of central A/C is also a plus! Step inside to an open and airy main level featuring exposed brick, recessed lighting, and custom light fixtures that bring character and warmth to the space. The bright, open-concept layout flows seamlessly from living to dining to kitchen — perfect for both everyday living and hosting gatherings. The kitchen is a true standout with gleaming quartz countertops, elegant black subway tile backsplash, open shelving, and hardwood floors that carry throughout the home. Upstairs, the second floor offers three spacious bedrooms and a full bath, while the finished third-floor attic provides a versatile 4th bedroom, creative studio, or cozy retreat. A washer and dryer are located in the basement, adding convenience to the charm. Outside, a private, fenced-in backyard with a patio and pergola offer a peaceful spot for summer BBQs or unwinding in the evenings. Major system upgrades include a new HVAC system installed in 2022, a hot water heater replaced in April 2024 with a 6-year tank and 2-year parts warranty, and a new roof completed in July 2021. Other recent improvements from 2018-2020 include a new sewer line, chimney liner, updated kitchen and bathroom, new gutters and drywall, and 200-amp electric service. Comfort and efficiency upgrades feature central air conditioning, a smart thermostat, and an air purification system. Stylish interior details include quartz countertops, a bold black subway tile backsplash, exposed brick and ceiling beams, and a fenced-in backyard patio perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
