About This Home
Discover the perfect blend of historic character and modern living in this beautifully renovated 3-story row home located in the Old Allentown Historic District. Fully updated in 2025, this home welcomes you with wainscoting in the entry foyer, refinished hardwood floors, and an open-concept living/dining area with 9' ceilings that create a bright, spacious feel. The kitchen has been stylishly redesigned with new tile flooring, cabinetry, quartz counter and backsplash and stainless steel appliances. A versatile office space with vaulted ceiling sits just beyond the kitchen and leads to the fenced-in yard and oversized 19' x 17' 2-car detached garage—a rare find in the city!
The 2nd floor features three nicely sized bedrooms and a fully renovated bath, while the 3rd floor offers a generously sized 4th bedroom—ideal for a guest suite, studio, or primary retreat. A grocer’s alley provides added convenience with access from the front of the home to the backyard and garage. Additional upgrades include replacement windows, hardwood floors in the 2nd-floor hallway, economical gas heat and hot water, and brand-new central air (2025). Nothing to do but move in and enjoy! Seller will provide a clear CO from the City of Allentown.
