In the heart of Historic Bethlehem is sited a gem of a home in an ideal location. With its rich history dating back to 1850, this property has been meticulously maintained by the current owners with attention to the period in every inspired renovation. The original architectural features of oak floors, deep moldings, high ceilings, numerous built-ins and solid wood doors are complemented by a newly upgraded kitchen in 2023, a primary bedroom suite, gas fireplaces and a fabulous basement renovation done in 2020. The floor plan of 5404 sq' on four floors with 5 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half baths and so much storage offers plenty of space for both family and friends. A beautifully remodeled in-law suite/rentable apartment has its own front entrance and can be easily incorporated to the rest of the house if desired. Numerous upgrades include: conversion from oil to gas heating (2023), newer heat pump, new water filter system and much more. The back yard is an oasis of tiered slate patios and well tended perennial gardens. An oversized two car heated garage with additional parking for 4-5 cars is a rarity in this area. A short walk to downtown dining, shopping, festivals and Moravian Academy as well as historic museums and sites is the best part of this incomparable urban lifestyle. Just 80 miles to NYC and 70 miles to Philadelphia allows for day jaunts to larger surrounding cities.
