Updated 1-Bedroom Bungalow with Detached Two-Car Garage
1110 East Walnut Street is a compact bungalow dating to 1900 that pairs recent interior updates with practical outdoor amenities. The one-bedroom, one-bath home contains 756 square feet of living area on a 0.12-acre (approximately 5,227 sq ft) lot with 40 feet of frontage on East Walnut Street. Documented improvements include a modernized kitchen and bathroom, central air conditioning, and gas heating; the structure is wood-frame with an asphalt shingle roof and a crawl-space foundation.
Outdoor features reinforce the property’s everyday utility: a large deck and fenced backyard create defined outdoor living space, while a detached two-car garage accessible via the alley offers parking and workshop or storage possibilities. The lot is level and the property’s condition is listed as average, which aligns with the recent targeted updates but also underscores the recommendation for roof and HVAC verification during due diligence.
From an ownership and planning perspective, records indicate owner-occupancy since a 2023 purchase and zoning under the City of Lancaster’s R-3 designation, which supports single-family use and allows accessory dwelling units and home occupations. Standard municipal utilities and residential ingress from East Walnut Street are documented. Notable sale history and comparable activity in the immediate area inform value context: recent nearby sales and a sales-comparison valuation estimate are provided in the research data and should be reviewed alongside tax assessments and an inspection report.
This property is positioned for buyers seeking an affordable, centrally located home or investors targeting modest rental income. The research notes an estimated monthly rent of approximately $850 based on local one-bedroom comparables and flags the single-bedroom floor plan as a constraint for larger households. Key due-diligence items called out by the analysis include confirming the ages and condition of the roof and HVAC systems, and verifying zoning setbacks and any constraints on future expansions.
Overall, 1110 East Walnut Street presents a small, updated bungalow with functional outdoor space and a detached garage in close proximity to downtown Lancaster amenities. Its combination of recent interior upgrades and central location make it a pragmatic option for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors, provided standard inspections and verifications are completed.
