Description

Step into a rare opportunity to own a fully restored piece of Lancaster history—blending timeless character with modern comfort in one of the city’s most walkable and vibrant locations. Originally built in 1840 and once owned by Miss Hetty, the housekeeper to President James Buchanan, this thoughtfully renovated residence—known as The Hetty House—has been reimagined into a turnkey property ideal for both investors and end-users alike. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, the home offers immediate income potential, while also providing flexibility to owner-occupy. The property can be delivered fully furnished for a seamless transition or vacant for those looking to make it their own. Inside, the home features three spacious bedrooms, an attic loft, and 1.5 bathrooms. The interiors strike a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern design, highlighted by restored original hardwood floors, curated finishes, high ceilings, and preserved historic details throughout. The fully equipped kitchen and expansive dining area make entertaining effortless, while multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces including a private backyard patio and second-floor balcony that offer inviting areas to relax and unwind. Modern upgrades have been seamlessly integrated, including a smart home system with Nest thermostats, Sono’s speakers throughout, and multiple smart TVs. Additional conveniences include second-floor laundry access, ample storage, and thoughtfully designed living spaces for both short- and long-term stays. Located just steps from Franklin & Marshall College, Central Market, and Lancaster’s renowned dining, coffee, and arts scene, the property offers unparalleled walkability and connectivity to everything that makes the city so dynamic. Whether you’re seeking a cash-flowing investment, a weekend retreat, or a full-time residence with character, 446 W Orange Street presents a truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Lancaster’s past while capitalizing on its future.
