About This Home

As of May 2022

Welcome home to this tastefully updated and maintained Gilded Age Bethlehem home at 434 Seneca Street dating back to 1890. You will be walking distance the arts district on southside, to the historic district on the northside, to St Luke's Hospital and Lehigh University. This home covers over 3400sqft of living space across 3 floors, featuring 6 bedrooms, 4 bathroom (2full, 2 half), 2nd floor laundry and a copper balcony fit for the period. The only home on a double lot, a 2car detached garage, along with a brand new roofs on each. The kitchen was given a facelift with bright lights, custom cabinets and Brazilian marble countertops and top of the line appliances. The original woodwork that offer an iridescent tiger stripe pattern and beautiful coffered ceiling exhume elegance unmatched in today’s new construction. Large panorama windows let the light shine through, and two fireplaces (living room, and master bedroom) give you coziness in this magnificent manor.
