About This Home
As of April 2018This romantic home is set amidst an enclave of vintage properties in an environs rich in the character and charm of early Bethlehem. The coveted location boasts a magical collection of fine homes, sequestered on a beautiful street, where neighbors still wave and one can ride bikes to visit friends. The classic 1930 design is sophisticated, recalling the simplicity of another era. At first approach, the Cape Cod design, with brick exterior and lovely gardens, is a harbinger of the charm within. Inside, these charms continue, as each turn reveals delightful architectural details. Cozy up with a book, a fire, a cup of tea and you'll lose your sense of time. Moravian Star maintains the charm of yesteryear with the modern amenities today's buyers would expect. You'll treasure the ageless, century-old appointments of the newel post and banister, high ceilings, hardwood floors, moldings and built-ins, as well as enjoying all of today's comforts. There are three floors of living space, a remodeled oak kitchen, three bedrooms, 1 baths, newly replaced windows and a floor plan that allows for easy living. A large living room is anchored by a fireplace, with Moravian tile hearth, flanked by romantic, leaded glass windows. The dining room opens to a private back deck with a wisteria-covered pergola ? all surrounded by garden areas created with love. This shaded, backyard oasis is the perfect sanctuary in which to enjoy a summer evening under a starlit sky.
