Located along North Christian Street ( a well-maintained "bicycle boulevard"), the prime Lancaster City location is near the Lancaster General Hospital Complex, and restaurants, retail, office, and apartment buildings, along with the shops in the 300 block of N. Queen Street. The property is one-half block from a new 72 unit apartment building under construction on Queen and Lemon Streets, and two to four blocks from two even larger apartment complexes under construction on N. Queen St. The new city residents will need many services that could be housed in this beautiful property. It is being offered for sale for the first time in 40+ years.
Likely the only former blacksmith carriage shop to be this original in Lancaster City, the architecture is simple, and the building is well built and appealing, with a high exposed wood ceiling and windows on all sides. It is the only building in the 400 block of N. Christian Street that is detached or freestanding. The building has ground floor access from the front and back. The brick one-story, 1,404 SF building, has upper level storage, an insulated white rubber roof, central air, gas heat with two high efficiency Renai heaters that push warm air across the floor, as well as a back-up oil-fired forced air heat system.
The interior features a large open space with a wood and glass divider wall, and many large windows, a bathroom with shower, toilet, sink, and closet, a separate office room, and a small closet room. The building has parking areas in front of and behind the building, and an additional attached parking lot.
The attached lot has potential for new construction. Also, a second floor could be added to the existing building or the building footprint could be added to. Many possibilities exist for this unique property.
