Calling all history buffs! No shortage of charm and character in this detached 3 bed 1.5 bath home. Well known as The Ten Hour House, built in 1874 by Dr. Benjamin Mishler, founder of the famous Mishler's Bitters, who set out to prove (on a wager) that a solid, high quality home could be built in one day. It took 100 men 10 hours to erect this terrific home, and the house has been praised for its quality and longevity ever since. The home's abundance of windows, and elevated position high up off the street, keeps it full of light and air, even on the darkest days. The home is surrounded by ample backyard, front yard and huge side yard. This fully detached single home is truly a rare find for city living. If you find yourself needing to wake up and smell the roses this place has you covered. The entire property has been planted full of beautiful flowering trees and shrubs. In spring and summer the property comes alive with flowering azaleas, lilacs, dogwood, forsythia, peonies, and even an orange tree that produces edible oranges! Interested in entertaining, there is plenty of private, paved off-street parking to accommodate your guests. Only 4 blocks from downtown Lancaster, including Central Market, Convention Center and many well known restaurants. Step inside to a completely renovated retreat, which features refinished solid pine floors throughout the home. The three bedrooms all have closets, and large windows that provide ample natural light. Plenty of clean, dry basement storage, with outside access and newer washer /dryer. Step in to your beautiful kitchen that features solid oak countertops, beautiful antique cast iron sink, and plenty of cabinet space. Brand new refrigerator and stove. Newer roof, windows and updated electric. Escape the rent race and own your very own piece of Lancaster County history. Hurry! This place won't last long!
