226 Walnut Street, Lemoyne, PA 17043

Property Description

This classic Washington Heights two-story offers a rare combination of space, character, and long-term upside in one of Lemoyne’s most desirable neighborhoods. Perched on elevated ground and surrounded by higher-value homes—including nearby million-dollar properties—this location reinforces long-term desirability while offering scenic views of the Susquehanna River and Harrisburg skyline, with seasonal fireworks visible right from the neighborhood. A covered front porch creates a welcoming first impression, leading into a home filled with timeless details including hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, tall windows, and original trim work—features that are increasingly hard to find at this price point. The expanded layout adds flexibility for modern living, highlighted by a tiled kitchen addition with access to a covered rear balcony—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The first floor includes a full bath and separate laundry area, while upstairs offers three bedrooms, a full bath, and a bonus study ideal for a home office or additional living space. The walk-out lower level provides a bright family room with built-in storage, adding even more usable space. Set on a generously sized lot with a detached two-car garage, the property is just a short walk to Negley Park—known for some of the best views in the region—as well as the Lemoyne business district, local shops, dining, and everyday essentials. With tree-lined streets, sidewalks, and a true neighborhood feel, this is one of the West Shore’s most walkable and established communities, all just minutes from downtown Harrisburg. Positioned competitively relative to recent comparable sales, this home presents a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to secure value in a prime West Shore location. For those willing to make targeted improvements over time, there is strong potential to enhance both functionality and long-term positioning in the market. The existing furnace is currently inoperable and will require replacement; however, supporting documentation for conversion to natural gas is available—offering a meaningful opportunity to improve efficiency and modernize a key system. Whether you’re an investor, a buyer looking to customize a home in a premier location, or someone focused on long-term value, this is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t come around often in Washington Heights.
