About this House

What's unique:Charming dormered rooflineSubstantial backyardRenovated basement stairwaySpacious yardMultiple outdoor entertaining areasAdditional off-street parking
**RARE NORTHSIDE BETHLEHEM HOME – WALK TO MAIN STREET | 3-CAR GARAGE | 4 BEDROOMS | DETACHED STUDIO | BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED**

Discover a rare combination of location, historic character, and modern versatility in this beautifully restored circa-1900 Pennsylvania Colonial home, just a 5-minute walk from Bethlehem's vibrant Main Street.

Located on a quiet residential street just outside the designated Historic District, this distinctive painted-brick residence features Victorian architectural influences, an elegant arched entryway, traditional shutters, and a charming dormered roofline.

Offering approximately 2,286 sq. ft., four finished bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and generously proportioned living spaces, the home combines timeless architectural charm with extensive modern improvements.

**AN EXCEPTIONAL WALKABLE LOCATION**

Enjoy restaurants, boutiques, festivals, and entertainment just two blocks away. Historic Hotel Bethlehem, Musikfest, and downtown's celebrated Main Street are all within easy walking distance.

Nearby attractions include the Lehigh River, walking and cycling trails, SteelStacks, ArtsQuest, Southside Bethlehem, and Lehigh University. Enjoy the best of Bethlehem without needing your car.

**RARE PARKING, STUDIO & OUTDOOR SPACE**

One of the property's standout features is its exceptionally rare three-car garage with rear-street access, additional off-street parking, and a beautifully finished detached studio, ideal for an artist, professional office, creative workspace, or home gym.

The substantial backyard provides multiple outdoor entertaining areas, including a generous barbecue and dining space, raised relaxation deck, landscaped gardens, vegetable beds, grapevine, lawn, paved pathways, and garden shed.

Whether entertaining guests, gardening, working from home, or simply relaxing outdoors, this property offers remarkable flexibility so close to downtown.

**EXTENSIVELY RENOVATED & IMPROVED**

Over the past five years, more than 2,000 hours have been invested in carefully restoring and improving this home while preserving its historic charm.

Major improvements include:

- Fully renovated kitchen with island and updated appliances
- Beautifully renovated fourth bedroom/loft with polished timber floors
- Refreshed second-floor bedrooms, new carpeting, and restored finishes
- French doors to the main lounge
- Newly painted exterior and repaired gutters
- New roofing on the garage and Florida room
- New concrete walkways and extensive outdoor paving
- Upgraded landscaping, fencing, and garden areas
- Renovated basement stairway and numerous interior repairs
- Newer water heater and modern double-pane windows

Additional features include 200-amp electrical service extending to the garage and studio, high-speed Verizon Fios fiber internet, ceiling fans, and quiet hydronic heating with electronic controls.

**APPROVED HOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY**

In November 2024, the City of Bethlehem granted Major Home Occupation approval, permitting qualifying business operations at the property, including one full-time employee, subject to the conditions of the approval.

Combined with the detached studio, substantial garage, and downtown proximity, this creates a particularly attractive opportunity for professionals, entrepreneurs, and those seeking a flexible live/work lifestyle.

**A HOME RESTORED WITH PRIDE**

This is not simply an older home with cosmetic updates. It has been thoughtfully restored over five years, with significant attention to its architecture, functionality, gardens, and outdoor living spaces.

Enjoy a peaceful residential setting, exceptional parking, a spacious yard, and the convenience of downtown Bethlehem just minutes from your front door.

**Homes offering this combination of location, character, parking, outdoor space, and flexibility are exceptionally difficult to find in Northside Bethlehem.**
