About this home

Step into a rare opportunity to own a fully restored piece of Lancaster history—blending timeless character with modern comfort in one of the city’s most walkable and vibrant locations. Originally built in 1840 and once owned by Miss Hetty, the housekeeper to President James Buchanan, this thoughtfully renovated residence—known as The Hetty House—has been reimagined into a turnkey property ideal for both investors and end-users alike. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, the home offers immediate income potential, while also providing flexibility to owner-occupy. The property can be delivered fully furnished for a seamless transition or vacant for those looking to make it their own. Inside, the home features three spacious bedrooms, an attic loft, and 1.5 bathrooms. The interiors strike a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern design, highlighted by restored original hardwood floors, curated finishes, high ceilings, and preserved historic details...
