About This Home

As of August 2021

Downtown Hershey living doesn't get much more convenient than this! Situated on a corner lots steps from downtown shopping, restaurants, the downtown Hershey Farmer's Market, and the square, this 1930s home has been lovingly updated and maintained (there have only been two owners in its lifetime!). This three bedroom home features a beautiful traditional entry, 9-ft ceilings throughout the first floor, large eat-in kitchen, powder room, and oversized family room with space for additional dining. The second floor includes three bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a "bonus" room (can be used as an office, nursery, extra closet or possibly converted to an additional bathroom or access to a third level). Recent updates since 2017 include: new primary roof, freshly painted exterior stucco (2021), updated wiring throughout most of the home, fresh paint throughout the home, new garage door, new sidewalk concrete, second floor AC unit, hardwood floors exposed and refinished, new stainless steel appliances, and new light fixtures.
