Property Description

Step into a piece of living history at 19 Howard Avenue! Built in 1870, this vibrant brick semi-detached home is a beautiful chapter in the story of Mussertown—a neighborhood once bustling with 19th-century artisans. While this area was originally dotted with tiny one-story log cabins, this residence arrived as part of a "modern" wave of two-story architecture that redefined the Lancaster skyline over 150 years ago.

Inside, the home perfectly balances its post-Civil War soul with fresh, energetic updates. The wide entryway leads you into a living room anchored by a classic fireplace and charming built-ins, creating a cozy spot to relax. The flow continues into a bright dining area and a kitchen outfitted with sleek stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, the primary bedroom serves up major character with gorgeous exposed brick, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide plenty of space to make your own across 1,500 square feet of living area.

Outside, the large, fully fenced backyard and patio are ready for weekend BBQs or letting a pup run free.

Living here means being immersed in a city of "firsts." You're just moments from the iconic Lancaster Central Market—the oldest continuously operating farmers market in the U.S., serving the community since 1730. You can also brag that your new hometown once served as the Capital of the United States for a single, historic day in 1777! From the Germanic architectural roots of the neighborhood to the nearby estate of James Buchanan, the heritage here is unmatched. 19 Howard Ave is a
"Walker's Paradise"! You are within a 10–15 minute walk of some of the city's best spots.
Here are some fun places to walk to:
Eateries
• Horse Inn: A local gem with a speakeasy vibe dating back to the 1920s. It's famous for its tenderloin tips on toast and great cocktails.
• Annie Bailey's Irish Public House: A classic Irish pub right in the heart of downtown with a great outdoor patio and hearty food.
• The Belvedere Inn: Perfect if you're looking for something a bit more upscale; it offers contemporary American cuisine in a beautiful historic building.
• 551 West: A casual neighborhood favorite with good entrees, daily specials, and often live music.
Markets & Shops
• Lancaster Central Market: You can't miss this—it's the oldest continuously operating farmers market in the U.S. It's open Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. It's the perfect place to grab fresh local produce, meats, or a quick lunch from one of the many stands.
• Downtown Boutiques: Walking toward Penn Square, you'll find plenty of local shops for gifts, clothing, and home goods along Queen and Orange Streets.
Coffee Shops
• Café One Eight: A bright, modern spot on Orange Street known for great breakfast sandwiches and handcrafted lattes.
• Passenger Roastery & Coffee Bar: If you are a coffee enthusiast, this is a must-visit. They are nationally recognized for their high-quality roasting.
• Aura Espresso Room: A cozy spot with a European feel, offering great quiche, pastries, and a convenient walk-up window.
• Denim Coffee: Located right near the square, they roast their own beans and have excellent specialty drinks.
