About 626 N Duke St
This commercial multi-property includes the semi-detached, brick Victorian at 626 North Duke Street and the end row house around the corner at 38 East New Street; these properties share a boundary at the rear & share a drive way allowing egress from a 6-8 space parking lot entered off North Christian Street. A deeded easement on #38 allows #626 to use its driveway to access East New Street. #626 is also listed as a multi-family property - PALA2073270; although currently rented, #38 is listed as a single family residence - PALA2072856. They are listed together here as a commercial unit not only because of the convenience of having one owner in charge of the easement, but also because of favorable zoning. See PALA2072856 for New Street tax info!
Set in Lancaster City's historic Ross District in the Northeast Quadrant, the RO zoning, appropriate for residential, commercial, and institutional purposes, makes these properties attractive for a variety of purposes: medical offices, professional offices, general offices, even group a home.
The office on the first floor of #626 includes a large multi-desk area, conference room, private office, and kitchen/work room.; it has two powder rooms and central air. There is a concrete access ramp from the rear parking lot.
The second/third floor unit serves as a shabby-chic three bedroom apartment that's larger than many city houses. Its kitchen isn't retro - it's pure '50.'s! The row house consists of seven rooms and a full bath; first floor living and dining rooms and kitchen; three second floor rooms (two are walk-throughs), and the finished third floor room.
The properties are in average condition and are being sold "as is", though each building has had some roofs replaced this year. Basically in need of cosmetic, the owners, both of whom are licensed Pennsylvania realtors who might share in the profit or loss on this sale, have no knowledge of any substantial defects and have no intentions of performing remedial work on the building.
