About This Home

As of April 2014

Situated on a beautiful tree-lined street close to Moravian College, this Bethlehem twin is one that stands out above the crowd. The owner of 30 years, with her decorative touch both inside and out, has fully maintained and improved this home. Not a thing needs to be done, except move-in and enjoy. Upon entry of the front door, the charm and character of the home abounds. The hardwood floors flow from the living room to the dining room to the upstairs. The kitchen is stunning, with cherry cabinetry plus a unique cherry wood ceiling. Upstairs, the claw foot tub in the bathroom is as functional as it is decorative. The 3rd floor attic offers great space for a hobby room or office. Tidy laundry room in basement has a full 2nd bathroom. Wonderful fenced in yard with extensive plantings and landscaping. Garage, new furnace, replacement windows, security system and more! This home has it all and is an absolute pleasure to show!
