About this home
A rare architectural offering in Lancaster’s coveted Chestnut Hill neighborhood, 633 W Chestnut Street is the kind of home that immediately separates itself from the market. With extraordinary curb appeal, a striking green serpentine stone façade, beautifully preserved historic character, and thoughtful modern updates, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a level of presence and distinction seldom found in Lancaster City. Serpentine stone homes are increasingly rare, admired for their rich color, historic significance, and the craftsmanship required to create a façade of this caliber — a feature that gives this home an unmistakable sense of permanence, beauty, and value.
A wide front porch welcomes you into a classic double-door vestibule and an elegant main living room filled with natural light. The space immediately impresses with rare 11-foot ceilings, crown molding, custom plantation shutters, and the kind of scale and proportion that simply cannot be replicated in most modern homes. The result is a living space that feels grand, warm, and timeless all at once.
The formal dining room offers exposed brick and wonderful entertaining space, flowing seamlessly into the renovated kitchen. Designed with both beauty and function in mind, the kitchen features Carrera marble countertops, custom cabinetry, an oversized sink, skylights, Pennsylvania-milled custom oak flooring, and a charming breakfast nook overlooking the rear garden. It is a kitchen that feels refined without losing the warmth and character that make historic homes so special.
The second floor offers three spacious bedrooms, including a rear bedroom with access to a private deck, along with a beautifully redesigned full bath and convenient laundry area. The third floor provides two additional bedrooms, including a front room currently used as an office with custom built-ins, plus an added full bath with a stand-up shower and stained-glass detail — ideal for guests, work-from-home space, creative use, or additional private living quarters.
The lower level provides excellent storage and workspace with Bilco door access. Important updates, including plumbing, electric, efficient gas heat, central air, and added insulation, provide peace of mind while preserving the soul and integrity of the home.
Out back, the gated courtyard is a private city sanctuary with mature landscaping, tool storage, and two off-street parking spaces — an exceptional luxury in this location. The garden was even featured on the 2011 Annual Demuth Garden Tour, further highlighting the charm and distinction of the outdoor space.
All of this is set in one of Lancaster City’s most beloved neighborhoods, just moments from Central Market, Chestnut Hill Café, F&M College, The Ware Center, Fulton Theatre, restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, pubs, and the best of downtown Lancaster living.
633 W Chestnut Street is more than a beautiful historic home — it is a rare opportunity to own one of Chestnut Hill’s most distinctive residences, where architecture, condition, scale, location, and lifestyle all come together....
