This one has a story. Originally built between 1834 and 1839 by Michael Garaghty (who also built the Mumaugh Memorial), The Old Champion Home is a genuine piece of Lancaster history sitting on a stately 0.43-acre double lot in the heart of downtown.
What makes it special:
• 4 bed / 2 full + 1 half bath | 2,752 sq ft
• 5 fireplaces and 1.5" thick poplar floors in most of the home
• Sandstone foundation | 10" x 10" timber framing
• First-floor owner's suite with updated full bath
• First-floor laundry | Large eat-in kitchen with expanded center island
• Usable attic space
• Dimensional roof (2018) | Gas furnace (2019)
• Attached summer kitchen, screened porch, brick patio/courtyard
• Detached 2-car garage and awning on brick patio
This is the kind of home that doesn't come around often with irreplaceable character, meaningful updates and a downtown Lancaster location with real curb appeal.
