Description
Some homes check boxes. Others tell a story.
Welcome to this distinctive residence in Ephrata—said to be known locally as the Gerhart Mansion—where early 20th-century craftsmanship meets a level of character that’s increasingly rare to find.
The main home at 287 Duke St. offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, with standout architectural details throughout. American Chestnut floors and trim—a material no longer commercially available—bring warmth and richness to the space, complemented by glass door knobs and brass room number plates that remain from its past use as a bed & breakfast. Zoned Residential
This sale is for 287 Duke St. (Main House) & 43 W. Walnut St. (Carriage House)
Square footage is estimated & rooms reflect both structures.
The home’s layout reflects the scale and flow of its era, offering spacious, well-defined rooms ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, while maintaining a strong sense of identity throughout.
Adding to its versatility, the property includes a separate dwelling at 43 W. Walnut St., creating opportunities for extended living, private guest space, or potential income (buyer to verify permitted uses).
Properties like this are rare—where character, flexibility, and story all come together in one offering.
