What This Townhouse Offers

Enjoy the convenience of Ephrata Borough living in this spacious and character-filled 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offering 1,824 square feet of living space. Built... in 1921, this home blends original charm with thoughtful modern updates and is within walking distance of local shops, restaurants, parks, and other downtown amenities.

Relax on the covered front porch before stepping into the bright living room, highlighted by a large front window that fills the space with natural light. The living room flows into the dining room and updated kitchen, featuring new cabinetry, hard-surface countertops, stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher), and convenient under-cabinet lighting.

At the rear of the home, you’ll find a mudroom accented by exposed brick, along with a beautifully updated full bathroom featuring a sliding barn-style door and walk-in shower. The exposed brick details add warmth and character to both spaces.

The second floor offers three comfortable bedrooms, including one with access to a covered balcony, as well as a full bathroom. A finished third floor provides valuable bonus space perfect for a home office, hobby room, playroom, or additional living area.

Additional features include hard-surface flooring throughout the home, an unfinished basement with washer and dryer provided, and a fenced backyard ideal for outdoor enjoyment.
