Located at the corner of High & Wall in the heart of the Historic District, this lovely 5+ bedroom home sits in the shade of mature maple trees. It's historical pedigree began in 1863 as the home of Augustus Wolle, the prominent industrialist who founded the Saucona Iron Company. Mr. Wolle's company ultimately evolved into Bethlehem Steel. Crafted in the Federal Style, the home retains many historic features while later renovations enhance the beauty and functionality of the residence. The first floor is cheerful & bright and includes a stately LR with fireplace, library with its full bath. A greenhouse is located on the southern side of the cozy DR. With all of the modern conveniences the kitchen will please the family chef. The DR opens into the home's secluded courtyard. The original woodwork and built in shelving are an asset for storage. The second floor includes 5 bedrooms, laundry. This is a short sale.
