Welcome to 24 S. Franklin Street in the heart of Dallastown!
Built in 1920 and beautifully restored, this three-story brick Colonial seamlessly blends historic charm with modern convenience. From the inviting front porch to the original stained woodwork and gleaming hardwood floors, every detail reflects the character and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
Offering just over 2,500 square feet of living space, with more than 2,900 square feet including the finished lower level, this spacious home features 4–6 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, soaring 9-foot ceilings, and a flexible floor plan designed to accommodate today's lifestyle. The elegant front rooms can serve as a living room, dining room, home office, library, or traditional parlor, providing versatility without sacrificing the home's timeless appeal.
The updated eat-in kitchen showcases quality Yorktowne cabinetry, granite countertops, and an adjoining breakfast room, creating a warm and inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The finished lower level adds valuable bonus space for recreation, hobbies, fitness, or storage.
The second floor offers four generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and access to a private covered porch. The third floor expands the possibilities with an additional bedroom, den, skylights, electric baseboard heat, and a mini-split system for heating and cooling—perfect for guests, a home office, creative studio, or private retreat.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring multiple covered porches, a stamped concrete patio, and a fenced backyard ideal for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the outdoors. Modern conveniences include central air conditioning, two renovated bathrooms, a security system, and an energy-efficient solar panel system designed to help reduce utility costs and enhance everyday comfort.
One of the property's most exceptional features is the impressive 25' x 47' two-story detached barn/three-car garage. Previously used as a food pantry, this versatile structure offers endless possibilities for vehicle storage, workshop space, hobbies, a home-based business, or potential income-producing uses. With access from both the private driveway and rear alley, it provides a level of flexibility rarely found in borough properties.
With more than $100,000 invested in thoughtful improvements, this one-of-a-kind home combines historic character, modern updates, and exceptional functionality. Situated on just over a quarter-acre lot, it also offers the benefits of Dallastown's walkable small-town charm, with parks, dining, shopping, schools, and everyday conveniences just minutes away.
