Property Description
Stop by today and take a look at 423 West Chestnut Street, located in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Lancaster City, PA! Currently zoned R-3 commercial usage, this would be an ideal residence conversion, or similar commercial use.This home was designed by C. Emlen Urban in 1886, and is known as the Jonas. B. Martin Mansion. Jonas Martin was the original owner, and sold his residence to Dr. & Mrs. William A Wolf in 1913. Dr Wolf offered piano and organ lessons to thousands of students throughout the years in the mansion. There have been only two owners of the residence during its history, with the founding of the Wolf Museum of Music and Art operating from 1973 through 2022. American Queen Anne Style is the design of the home with ornamental excess, delicate spindle work, elaborate porches, patterned brickwork, imposing chimneys, decisive shingles, and exquisite craftsmanship throughout. Sitting six feet above West Chestnut Street, the home proudly shows off its strong vertical massing, centered front porch, and unique roof dormer. The orante red brick chimney catches your eye from the street, along with decorative terracotta tiles, and segmented Queen Anne windows with brick and masonry keystones. The exterior grounds of the property show beautifully, thanks to a dedicated team of neighborhood volunteers. Starting in 2012, 3 generations of neighbors established the Wolf Museum Native Plant Botanical Garden, to initiate a collaborative, certified public educational garden that would bring visibility to a unique city resource, and enhance the urban native pollinator garden movement. In 2013 the National Wildlife Federation certified the garden as a wildlife habitat, boasting over 300 labeled species. Heading inside to the home, you will find 3 generous rooms in the front interior, with custom built-in shelving, original hardwood flooring, and spectacular natural light. The rear of the property contains a large kitchen, mudroom, and 2nd staircase. 4-bedrooms/office rooms sit on the 2nd floor, a full bathroom, enclosed porch area and washroom closet. Finally, on the 3rd floor sits another 4-bedrooms/office rooms, full bathroom, and access to the dormer window. Down in the basement hold a 1/2 bathroom, storage areas, and a meeting room with a fireplace. Sitting on a beautiful, tree-lined street, this home is a quick walk to all restaurants, galleries, museums, parks, breweries, and all that downtown Lancaster City has to offer. Add this property to your list today of exciting, rare, historic properties to see in Lancaster City PA!
