Located in Lancaster City’s historic Chestnut Hill neighborhood, just a short walk from Penn Square and Lancaster Central Market, this remarkable 7-bedroom, 4-bath Georgian style residence offers the rare opportunity to own one of the oldest homes in Lancaster City, thoughtfully restored for modern living. Extensive renovations since 2019 have seamlessly blended historic character with modern comfort. Improvements include a fully remodeled gourmet kitchen with adjoining scullery/butler’s pantry, renovation of all four bathrooms, and a stunning third-floor owner’s suite featuring exposed beams and the home’s original exterior stone. Major system upgrades include all new plumbing, updated electrical, HVAC, and a new hot water heater, along with the addition of a second-floor laundry room and a renovated basement. Other notable improvements include exterior stucco restoration, brick repointing, restored original shutters, new third-floor windows. Modern comforts continue with radiant heated bathroom floors, electric vehicle charging outlets in the garage, and a fenced garden and backyard. Known historically as the Musser–Reigart House, the residence dates to circa 1785 and is documented and archived in the Library of Congress, recognizing it as one of the finest surviving Georgian homes in Lancaster City. The property was owned by early Lancaster industrialist Michael Musser, followed by Adam Reigart, who served as Lancaster’s mayor during his ownership. In 1825, Revolutionary War hero General Lafayette visited the home during his celebrated farewell tour of the U.S. and addressed Lancaster citizens from an upper window of the residence. This property also has ties to a former president and vice president of the U.S. as well as a nationally known author. This is an extraordinary property, a truly rare opportunity to own one of the most historically significant homes in Lancaster with all the modern conveniences and amazing style. Property is in year 3 of a 10 year Lerta tax abatement program which offers lower taxes. Conveniently located near outstanding shopping, dining, and all that downtown Lancaster has to offer. This is truly an amazing property! View this listing at: http://lancohome.com/mls=PALA2083380
