Adorable Cat and House Sitting in Downtown Lancaster, PA
If you are looking for a home away from home surrounded by Amish country, then this yellow brick townhome with black shutters and door in downtown Chestnut Hill area of Lancaster city, is the place to be. Four blocks from the Farmers' Market, theatre, shopping, art galleries and museums, we are ideally situated. In front of the fireplace, enjoying the snuggling of Nutmeg, the cat, it's easy to plan for things to do. Not far by Amtrak trains from Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Wilmington, New York, and even Gettysburg, it's possible to visit out of town by train or bus, and go to shows, concerts, and shop all in one day.
In the summer, there is the garden, the outdoor room with flowers and fountain, and no grass!
When Gary and I travel, we like pet lovers to maintain our home with the regular schedule for Nutmeg and light home maintenance (such as putting out the trash weekly, letting in the housekeeper, etc.) In case of snow, Gary has arranged for neighbors to handle snow removal if it is more than a dusting. Nutmeg is friendly and well behaved (for a cat).
We live in a 3 story brick townhouse in the city, with 2 fireplaces, a guest bedroom overlooking the garden plus private bath for the sitter, and a large kitchen that serves as the main nesting place for anyone who visits. The kitchen has a fireplace, and the only tv is located in the kitchen. The kitchen looks out 4 large windows into the walled garden that has bird feeders and a fountain. There is wi fi all over the house. The living room has a fireplace, too.
We have a 2 car garage at the rear of the house, and a garage space may be available for you if you have a vehicle. The home and garage are fully alarmed for fire and burglary, and we expect the alarm system to be used.
As a note, the map indicated in the ad is incorrect. We are in the downtown of Lancaster.
