Property Description
Step onto the wide covered front porch and into over 1,800 square feet of classic Allentown rowhouse. The living room makes an immediate impression with a decorative fireplace featuring an intricate mosaic tile surround and original hardwood floors that run throughout the home. An arched doorway flows into the formal dining room with crown molding, recessed lighting, and a chandelier, which opens into the kitchen with gas cooking, oak cabinetry, tile backsplash, and rear access to the backyard. A half bath completes the main floor. The second floor offers three bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full updated bathroom. The third floor adds two more bedrooms, including one freshly updated with new LVP flooring and a closet, and another with dramatic bay windows overlooking the treetops. The finished basement provides a large tiled open space with recessed lighting, a laundry area with washer and dryer, utility sink, water heater and boiler, plus a roughed in shower, adding potential for a future full bath. Additional unfinished storage completes the lower level. Out back, a fenced yard with deck and patio leads to the detached brick garage with a newer garage door, off street parking and storage in one. Schedule your showing today to see all it has to offer!
