Welcome to 404 E. Clay Street—where the charm of Lancaster City meets the comfort of a quieter, more livable setting just beyond the downtown buzz. Nestled on the desirable 400 block, this semi-detached brick home offers the best of both worlds: an urban lifestyle without the constant noise and congestion. With convenient on-street parking and a location just down the street from Buehrle Academy, within walking distance to Lancaster General Hospital, and only minutes to Lancaster City Square, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the city has to offer—restaurants, markets, shopping, and more. Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the openness of the main level, where natural light fills the space and highlights the thoughtful updates throughout. The flowing floor plan is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring beautiful hardwood floors, solid wood cabinetry, and newer stainless steel appliances that bring both style and function to the kitchen. Every detail has been designed to feel welcoming, comfortable, and move-in ready. Upstairs, the second floor offers two generously sized bedrooms, a spacious full bath, and the added convenience of a second-floor laundry area with built-in storage—making daily routines that much easier. But the true standout of this home is the entire third-floor primary suite. This private retreat offers an impressive amount of space, soaring ceilings, multiple closets, and a well-appointed en-suite bath with double vanity and walk-in shower—creating a peaceful escape at the end of your day. Beyond the aesthetics, this home offers peace of mind with major system updates completed in recent years, including updated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC with central air—providing efficiency and reliability for years to come.

Clay Street delivers the lifestyle, location, and comfort that make Lancaster living so special. One of the most compelling aspects of this home is the extensive list of major improvements—offering true peace of mind for today’s buyer. Prior to the current ownership, the home underwent a complete renovation and modernization in 2019, including the installation of a new gas furnace, central air system, and radon mitigation system.
