Welcome to 460 E Front Street, a historic Marietta, PA home offering more than 2,300 square feet of living space in one of Lancaster County's charming Susquehanna River towns. Built in 1859, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home combines the character of a historic Front Street property with spacious rooms, modern updates, a large backyard, private rear driveway, and oversized garage—all just steps from the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail, a local destination for bikers, joggers, and walkers.
Inside, you'll find generous room sizes and character that's increasingly hard to find. The main level features wood and ceramic tile flooring, while the kitchen offers granite countertops, tile backsplash, a breakfast nook (or office) overlooking the garden patio. A stately brick gas fireplace creates a cozy focal point for the gathering space, and a recently installed mini-split provides heating/cooling throughout the first floor.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, convenient second-floor laundry, and access to a large walk-up attic with replacement windows, providing substantial additional usable space and possibilities. A new roof was installed in 2022.
The outdoor space is just as special. Recent professional landscaping complements the large backyard, garden patio, and lovely cherry blossom tree. The oversized one-car garage offers electricity and overhead storage, while a private rear driveway provides valuable off-street parking.
But what truly sets this home apart is its location and the lifestyle surrounding it.
Step outside and enjoy easy access to the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail along the Susquehanna River for walking, running, and biking. Grab your morning coffee nearby at Endo Collective, explore Marietta's historic Front Street, head to the nearby river and boat access, or walk into town for local restaurants, pubs, parks, and community events. Mountain bikers: SAMBA’s brand new Marietta Woods trail system and Bike Playground JUST opened in September right around the corner. From morning bike rides and coffee runs to evenings around the fireplace and summer nights in the backyard—including spectacular views of Marietta's annual 4th of July fireworks—this is a home designed for enjoying both where you live and how you live.
If you've been searching for a historic home in Marietta, PA with character, space, outdoor living, garage parking, and access to the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail, 460 E Front Street offers a combination that's difficult to replicate.
