About this home
Welcome home to this beautiful brick semi-detached in one of Lancaster’s most sought after neighborhoods! 838 Helen Ave offers the perfect combination of comfort and charm — the ideal home in Grandview Heights!
From the moment you arrive, notice the inviting curb appeal of this quiet tree-lined street. Step inside to a bright and welcoming living room with a never-used wood-burning fireplace, wood floors, and abundant natural light. The living room flows effortlessly into the dining area, creating an open, comfortable gathering space for family and friends.
The kitchen was updated in 2020 with a custom tile backsplash and LVP floors. Ample storage and counter space makes meal prep simple and practical. Just off the kitchen, you’ll find convenient access to the deck and peaceful backyard— perfect for summer barbecues, gardening, or simply relaxing outdoors.
Upstairs has 3 bedrooms each with a ceiling fan and lots of closet space. The bathroom was updated in 2023 with LVP flooring, new vanity, and tile. A partially finished basement adds additional living space plus flexibility for a workshop, hobby area, or home gym.
Much of the work has already been done for you with new HVAC (2025), newer electric (2023), tankless water heater and water softener (2022).
Located minutes from shopping, restaurants, Manheim Township schools, Stauffer Park, and Route 30, this home offers the quiet feel of a neighborhood while keeping you close to everything you desire!
