Description
Welcome to 228 North Mary, in the heart of Lancaster's Chestnut Hill. This beautifully restored American Gothic semi-detached home has the very important modern conveniences of central air, instant hot water, oversized garage and solar paneled ppl heating system. For the past 20 years the owners have painstakingly restored old forrest pine floors, walls, paneled ceilings and exterior brick. The home was repointed before any interior work began. From the spectacular first floor to the cozy third floor suite the home reflects quiet restraint to allow for a number of styles and tastes. The second floor is an entire primary suite with laundry, walk in closet, soaking tub and modern bath room. The large bedroom with accompanying sitting room completes the picture. One would be remiss not to mention the "perfect city garden". A combination of bountiful boxed raised vegetables watched over by a spectacular perennial flower bed starring poppies of enormous size bring a special feature to this space. A pergola provides outdoor space for dining reached by a curving path of carefully laid bricks. The double garage completes the back of the property and allows space for a car and a workshop. Experience the charm and comfort for yourself, schedule a private showing or join us for an Open House this Sunday 1:00-3:00

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
