About This Home

As of June 2014

This rare half-acre West End property has been for sale only twice in the last 87 years. The main house is a 1925 New England style colonial that retains most of its original features, including built-in bookcases, paneled walls, and an unusual pedestal bathtub. Hardwood floors throughout entire house. The sunroom is the perfect space for a bright playroom, music room, or informal dining area. The third floor makes a large master suite or a quiet guest space. The detached garage is part of the original property and contains attic space that can be converted to an in-law suite, used as an office, or kept for extra storage. The more recent additions include: a detached library/ office, a garden shed, and a tree house with slide all stylistically identical to the house. The yard is completely fenced-in and is full of mature trees that add to the feeling of privacy. Although the local shops and restaurants are close by, this unique property is removed from the busy streets of Allentown.
