About This Home

As of July 2023

This beautiful home is in the heart of downtown Hershey with close walking proximity to all of the restaurants, shops and entertainment this sweet little town has to offer. You can sit on your front porch and enjoy the music from the nearby park, walk down to the local theater or be part of the local festivities that happen throughout the year right outside of your front door!

This home was remodeled in 2014 with a new primary bedroom, walk in closet and primary bathroom addition on the second floor, a new family room addition on the first floor and a basement addition. The roof, HVAC system, plumbing, electric, windows, siding and hot water heater were all replaced during the renovation.

This home offers 5 bedrooms and 3 and a half bathrooms with a large one and a half, heated, detached garage with two year old roof and natural gas line availability, finished walk out basement and private off street parking. As you enter the foyer there is a living room that opens up to the large dining room with an original butlers door and beautiful family room with gas fireplace and french doors to the back yard. Also off the foyer is the updated kitchen which is bright and airy with stainless steel appliances and new overhead lighting. There is a half bath off the kitchen and beautiful bamboo flooring throughout the first floor. Upstairs there are three large bedrooms with an updated hallway bathroom and the large primary bedroom with a bathroom and walk in closet. The primary bathroom has a beautiful walk in tiled shower and floors with a large sink and vanity. The finished basement includes the laundry area, the large fifth bedroom with walk out access to the backyard and full bathroom with an extra room for an office or den and another large area for storage. The backyard has a large deck and pergola area for entertaining and there is a detached garage at the back of the property with newer electric and private parking. This home is minutes from Hershey Park, Hershey Medical Center, the Hershey Theater, and tons of great new restaurants, shops and cafes in this growing community.
