About this home
An exceptional opportunity to own a fully restored historic residence in the heart of Lancaster’s sought-after Chestnut Hill neighborhood.
Welcome to The Slaymaker Lock House, a thoughtfully designed, rustic-modern property curated by two designers and currently operating as a high-performing short-term rental. With the ability to accommodate up to 12 guests, this home is ideally suited for large family gatherings, while also presenting a unique opportunity for an owner-occupant seeking space and character.
The property can be delivered fully furnished for immediate rental continuity or vacant for personal use.
Inside, the home features six spacious bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and the rare addition of two fully equipped kitchens, allowing for seamless hosting, extended stays, or multi-generational living. Expansive living areas include a formal dining room, front living room, and rear family room which create multiple spaces to gather, entertain, and unwind.
Original character has been meticulously preserved, with refinished hardwood floors, restored trim details, and high ceilings throughout, while modern upgrades ensure a comfortable and connected experience. The interiors blend historic charm with curated contemporary finishes, creating a warm yet elevated environment that resonates strongly with today’s short-term rental market.
Outdoor spaces further enhance the experience, featuring a welcoming front porch and a private backyard courtyard that is ideal for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or intimate gatherings.
Located just steps from Central Market, Franklin & Marshall College, and Lancaster’s vibrant mix of coffee shops, restaurants, galleries, and boutiques, the property offers unmatched walkability in one of the city’s most desirable pockets.
