About this home
There are homes that have been renovated, and there are homes whose history has been thoughtfully carried forward. This extraordinary Chestnut Hill carriage house is one of the latter—a place where Lancaster’s architectural past remains present in the textures, light, and character of everyday life.
Built in 1892 in the Queen Anne style as the carriage house for the Sener mansion on North Charlotte Street, the property has evolved into one of the city’s most remarkable private residences. Behind its historic walls lies an unexpected .49-acre oasis with mature gardens, cobblestone walkways, secluded patios, a swimming pool, and a separate guest house. Together, the main residence and guest house offer four bedrooms, six full baths, and one half bath.
North Concord Street has a quiet, intimate character that feels removed from the pace of the city, yet Lancaster Central Market, the Fulton Theatre, restaurants, galleries, shops, and parks are only a few blocks away. Once inside the property, however, the city seems to disappear.
A welcoming foyer introduces the home’s rich wood walls and ceilings. Original stable doors, exposed beams, tongue-and-groove surfaces, brick floors, and windows with thick muntins and wavy glass are not simply decorative references; they are the authentic fabric of the home. Elements from the former horse stalls and hay drop remain visible, offering reminders of the building’s first life.
The living and dining spaces unfold beneath warm wood ceilings and exposed beams, creating rooms designed for conversation, long dinners, art, music, and evenings with friends. At the center of the home, a custom kitchen with cherry Shaker cabinetry, soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous butler’s pantry opens naturally to the great room. An elevated wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, while an open-beamed ceiling draws sunlight from the second-floor windows. Illuminated glass shelving provides a beautiful setting for artwork, books, and treasured collections.
Designed for graceful one-level living, the first-floor primary suite feels private and deeply connected to the gardens. Patio doors open to a secluded terrace, while custom cabinetry surrounds a gas fireplace. A hip-vaulted ceiling rises to a cupola skylight, allowing the changing daylight to become part of the architecture. Separate baths and walk-in closets, full-size laundry, and private office complete the suite.
Upstairs, a loft overlooks the great room and connects two spacious bedrooms and baths. One bedroom opens to a private balcony above the pool and gardens.
The sun-filled guest house offers a first-floor living area overlooking the pool, a full bath, and space for a future kitchenette. Upstairs is an oversized bedroom beneath four skylights, a full bath, cedar closet, and custom built-ins. An attached one-car garage and additional secure off-street parking are also included.
Updated electrical, plumbing, heating, and cooling systems allow the historic character of the property to be enjoyed with modern comfort.
Not offered on the open market in 30 years, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a carefully preserved, thoughtfully reimagined, and deeply loved piece of Lancaster history....
