Property Description

Step into the character and charm of this remarkable historic Second Empire Victorian in the heart of Columbia. Most recently home to a working artist and designer, this distinctive residence offers a rare blend of architectural history, creative spirit, and generous living space in one of Lancaster County’s most exciting river towns. Featuring five spacious bedrooms, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and beautifully proportioned rooms throughout, the home showcases the craftsmanship and grandeur of a bygone era. A deep front porch overlooks the inviting front yard and welcomes you into interiors filled with warmth, personality, and original historic details. Vintage Art Deco light fixtures dating to the home’s early electrical conversion in the 1930s add another layer of timeless character, complementing the home’s Victorian architecture with distinctive period style. Outside, the property offers both a pleasant front yard and a large backyard with abundant off-street parking — a rare and valuable feature for a historic in-town property. The spacious outdoor areas provide endless possibilities for entertaining, gardening, studio use, or simply enjoying the setting. Located on a welcoming neighborhood street in historic Columbia, the home is surrounded by a growing community of independent shops, cafes, galleries, and thoughtfully restored historic properties, while remaining an accessible and affordable alternative to neighboring Lancaster communities.
