This Historic Bethlehem home c.1895 is available for the first time in over 35 years! A brick front terrace bordered by summer flowers welcomes entry to this charming property. Classic 19th century features of hardwood floors, crown moldings, chair rails and deep baseboards grace the interior rooms. A brick wood burning fireplace is a focal point in the living room. Formal dining room leads to an eat-in kitchen with ample cabinets, recessed lights and original built-in pantry. Enjoy the convenience of a first floor laundry room and half bath. An inspired Frank Chiles 2-story addition offers a sunroom with wood beams in a lofted ceiling and French door access to English gardens. The arched window, from Bethlehem's original Post Office on West 4th St, is in full view from the second floor bedroom addition. A second bedroom currently used as an office, a dressing room/nursery and full bath complete this level. Large third level attic space has hardwood floors, barn beams, built-in shelving and may be used as a play room, office or storage. Relax in the privacy of a back yard oasis with slate patio, sun and shade plantings and an established rose garden, all created over 15 years. No grass to cut! A short walk to Main Street's fine shops and restaurants, Bethlehem Public Library and an abundance of cultural activities offers an opportunity to become part of a vibrant urban community. Just a 60 mile commute to Phila and 90 miles to NYC!

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
