About This Home

As of April 2026

Set just outside the bustle of central Allentown, 409 Franklin Street showcases stunning architectural bones and vast, versatile living spaces. Formerly a boarding house and recently restored as a single-family home, this stately residence remains an open invitation for your personal aesthetic — allowing you to finalize the details and create a bespoke masterpiece in one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods. The location defines urban convenience, offering unparalleled walkability to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Corridor, Theater & Business Districts, as well as Allentown’s vibrant restaurant and bar scene. Stepping through the entryway, we are welcomed with an Eastlake-design staircase, 11’ ceilings, 3 sets of oversized pocket doors, and all new Marvin windows on the first floor. Three fireplaces (NRTC) adorn the formal dining room, living room, and parlor. A half bath is conveniently tucked away just outside of the practically updated kitchen (2012). The layout of this floor presents ideal mixed-use possibilities, such as professional offices, creating a convenient live/work environment. The second floor hosts four bedrooms, complete with decorative fireplaces (NRTC), and a full bathroom. A bonus storage room provides opportunity to add another bathroom or laundry area. The third floor is accessible via two internal staircases, and features another 6 finished rooms and a full bath. Three stories of brick construction are complimented by an attached 2-car garage, featuring loft space with the potential for a home gym, studio, or an in-law suite. Above the garage is a walk-out roof top accessible from the homes second floor.
