2253 Center St Bethlehem, PA 18017

This charming Frank Chiles custom-built home is tucked behind a canopy of trees in North Bethlehem. A quaint front porch invites you for a lazy morning of coffee and a good book. The home - with hardwood flooring throughout - is the perfect balance of original character and convenient modern updates. The kitchen, with new white cabinets, was designed for entertaining - with the range at the helm of a big island with u-shaped seating, so family and guests can take part in meal and memory-making. Steps away, hinged patio doors can be left wide open for summer gatherings - leading to a huge Trex deck and fully fenced private yard with vegetable garden. The living room includes a wall of built-ins, and original Mercer Moravian tiles adorn the fireplace hearth with wood stove. Three beds and a full bath with preserved 1930's tile - complete the upstairs. The primary bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and 2 closets, and an adjoining dressing room with a 3rd closet, that could serve as a sitting room or office. Storage should not be an issue, with a walk-up attic and additional attic storage accessible through a door in the bathroom. The current owners have made comfortable use of the basement, by adding a music area and another TV/hangout space. The driveway includes an EV charging station, additional parking pad and basketball area. With close proximity to Downtown Bethlehem, restaurants, shopping and major routes - this gem should not be missed! CO will be cleared by Sellers!
