About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to the sweetest street in the sweetest place on earth!

This hidden gem of downtown Hershey is located right on Chocolate Avenue. This beautifully updated home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and small-town charm. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a partially finished basement, there’s plenty of room to spread out and settle in. Enjoy a sweet view from the primary bedroom of an iconic Hershey’s Kisses lamp post!

Inside, you’ll find luxury vinyl plank flooring, an updated kitchen with leathered granite countertops and refreshed cabinetry, and stylishly updated bathrooms. The home is truly move-in ready—and yes, all appliances are included!

This particular unit also offers thoughtful extras: a covered front entry that protects from the weather (a major plus for package deliveries and groceries!) as well as a private mailbox.

Enjoy unbeatable proximity to the best of downtown Hershey—your morning coffee, fresh donuts, local shops, and restaurants are all just down the street. You’re also just 1.4 miles from The Hershey Company and less than two miles to the Hershey Medical Center.

Relax on your patio or enjoy the shared green space while listening to the sounds of concerts from nearby Hersheypark Stadium—live entertainment without ever leaving home. You’ll also love being so close to Hersheypark, Hershey Gardens, and Chocolate World for year round fun and seasonal events. The low monthly condo fee covers all exterior maintenance, making homeownership here incredibly easy and stress-free.

Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, an investment property, or a sweet Hershey getaway, this hidden gem checks all the boxes. Homes in this community don’t come up often—especially ones with this much space. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Chocolate Avenue!
