About This Home

As of April 2023

Framed by a lush expanse of lawn, stately trees and colorful plantings, this charming brick and stone ranch home stands on over a half acre in West Bethlehem. Mid-century built, the convenient one level floor plan is enhanced with hardwood floors in many rooms, built-in bookcases and a wood burning fireplace as the focal point of a spacious living room. An eat in kitchen showcases views of the flat back yard and flagstone patio, perfect for gardens, games and outdoor entertaining. Two generously sized bedrooms, 1.5 baths and a laundry room complete the sunny space. An attached one car garage and plentiful basement storage are welcome amenities. Tree lined sidewalks weave through the neighborhood, quiet and picturesque, with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and community parks. Hospital campuses and thriving businesses in the Lehigh Valley are minutes away via Route 22 and Interstate 78. Awaiting the creativity, fresh perspective and potential expansion of a new generation, Rose Hill is a timeless classic.
