About This Home
As of October 2021Originally built as a summer cottage for a prominent Philadelphia resident, this Victorian Gothic style home stands proudly among other 19th century gems lining Seneca Street. Upon entry through ornately carved Italianate doors one is taken back to an era of masterful craftsmanship. Two covered side porches are perfect spaces to entertain and relax. Original patterned hardwood floor in the living room is a backdrop to 10' ceilings, wood burning fireplace and 9' windows leading to the formal dining room. Breakfast room, just off the side porch, offers a pass through to the kitchen with granite counters, skylight & back staircase to the 2nd floor. Grand front staircase leads to 3 bedrooms & full bath on the second level and 2 more bedrooms on the third level. Private back yard provides spaces to unwind and detached garage has plenty of storage. Just a short walk to St Luke's Hospital, Lehigh Univ and Bethlehem's Main Street and convenient to major highways. Clear CO!
