Step into the past with the iconic Wright-Witherspoon House, built in 1852 and set on 2.68 acres in the heart of York’s Historic Preservation District. This grand Italianate-style home has been thoughtfully updated since 2018, including a new HVAC system, full electrical rewiring, new appliances, renovated bathrooms, roof improvements, and basement encapsulation—making it move-in ready. Original features abound: hand-carved marble and wood fireplaces, glass cabinetry, iron and gold-leaf chandeliers, 10-foot pocket windows, repurposed transatlantic ship beams, and bricks traced back to England. A full list of updates, a video tour, a written historical guide, York Historical Commission Construction Guidelines and a Plat of Survey are available upon request. Experience the charm of downtown York just steps away from your door. This rare gem is the perfect blend of history, character, and modern comfort. All fireplaces closed and sold as-is. Lot 0700212023 (0.44acres) included.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
