As of July 2026Enjoy affordable homeownership just moments from award-winning Downtown Bethlehem! This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath semi-detached home offers a convenient location with walkability to a wide-range of dining options, shopping, festivals, and entertainment. The home's first floor flows easily from a nicely-appointed living and dining room, to a spacious kitchen featuring abundant cabinet storage, generous counter space, and updated stainless steel appliances. Just beyond the kitchen, you'll find a convenient laundry/mudroom and first-floor powder room. The second floor offers two bedrooms and a full bath, with a large open "flex space" that can serve as a place to workout, or just work - in your home office. The third-floor offers the option to have a private bedroom retreat, or another unique and versatile space for gaming or hobbies. Outside, a rear deck and manageable yard provide space for relaxing, gardening, or hosting that summer BBQ! Speaking of summer...stay comfortable and cool with central air conditioning. Heating and cooling systems were both replaced in 2019. Combining value, functionality, and a sought-after Bethlehem location, this move-in-ready home is an excellent opportunity to enjoy all the area has to offer. Home will be conveyed with a CLEAR CO!
