Historic elegance in the heart of Marietta! Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lancaster County history, prominently positioned on Marietta Square. Originally built in the early 1800s as the Schaffner Homestead, this stunning 5-bedroom, 3 full bath, all-brick residence blends timeless character with everyday livability in one of the most charming historic river towns in the region. Eligible for USDA financing with $0 down, making this exceptional property even more accessible. Step outside your front door and right into the Marietta lifestyle: walk or bike along the scenic Northwest Lancaster County River Trail, enjoy morning coffee at Molly's Cafe, brunch or live music at McCleary's Pub or one of several other quality restaurants in town, or spend an afternoon fishing or kayaking on the beautiful Susquehanna River. Inside, the home showcases rich architectural detail with oak and heart pine floors, intricate woodwork, and multiple fireplaces throughout. A series of inviting living spaces includes a cozy keeping room with built-ins, an elegant music room, and a sun-filled library/living room with bay windows, a fireplace, and direct access to the side porch - perfect for hosting both large or intimate gatherings. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers a butler's pantry and flows seamlessly to an oversized rear deck overlooking your private backyard oasis with specialty gardens. An exquisite main-level bedroom provides the option for convenient one-floor living, ideal for guests or long-term flexibility. The lower-level family room features the original walk-in fireplace, adding even more character and entertaining potential. Offering luxury and practicality, the house has dual staircases, abundant storage, usable basement space and a large attic for future possibilities. Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat of its own, complete with a generous dressing room and luxurious bath. Set on a spacious .45-acre lot, this property is a true gardener's delight, complete with shed and plenty of under-deck storage space. The property offers two off-street parking spaces, as well as alley access providing additional parking flexibility - uncommon features for in-town living. Enjoy year-round comfort and efficiency with a newer gas furnace and central A/C, offering modern convenience while preserving the home's architectural integrity. Historic charm and elegance, unbeatable walkability, and a lifestyle centered around the beauty and rhythms of the Susquehanna River - this is Marietta living at its finest!
