Property Description
Behind a decorative iron fence featuring a tree-branch and grapevine design stands a home whose story began in 1909. Offered for the first time in 33 years, this magnificently restored single Victorian home in the Old Allentown Historic District welcomes you with rich natural woodwork, hardwood floors on 1st and 2nd floor, stained-glass windows, leaded-glass doors and carefully crafted built-ins. Ornamental fireplaces and two gas fireplaces enhance its inviting atmosphere, while the dining room chandelier from Hess’s Department Store adds a beautiful connection to Allentown’s history. This single-family home offers 3,944 square feet with five large bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths. A sunken study with a beamed ceiling provides a distinctive retreat, with access to a smaller second-floor multipurpose room and the beautiful side yard. The side yard and fenced rear yard offer space to garden, gather or enjoy a quiet afternoon. The lower level offers an additional 1,189 Sq Ft. of living space featuring a recreation room with impressive wet bar, dance floor, antique telephone booth and much more. Kitchen improvements include a dishwasher installed in 2023 and a cooktop, granite countertop, garbage disposal and sink installed in 2024. The gas furnace and hot water heater were replaced in 2008. An attached two-car garage and a separate one-car parking pad complete a property where thoughtful restoration and historic craftsmanship create a memorable place to call home.
