About This Home

253 E Church Street

Tucked away in sought-after Historic Bethlehem, this charming 2-3 bedroom home has been lovingly cared for by long-time owners-both artists-who have enhanced the spaces with warmth and versatility. Sunlight streams through multiple windows while French doors lead gracefully from living room to dining room and into to a character-rich kitchen featuring slate floors & counters, large pantry and stackable washer/dryer both concealed behind handsome wooden doors. A thoughtful addition enhances the home providing a spacious, accessible bathroom with an oversized multi-jet shower & whirlpool tub set behind a frosted glass, barn-style sliding door. Just beyond, a stunning architectural space currently used as an artist studio & family room, can easily serve as a primary suite. An impressive 15.5' ceiling, HW floors & transom windows offer access to an outdoor oasis of private sitting areas and lovely perennial gardens, perfect for alfresco dining, creative pursuits or quiet relaxation. A detached 2.5-car garage offers rare off-street parking in the city. The second level offers two sizable bedrooms and a full bath while a recently renovated 3rd floor provides flexible space as an office or playroom. With its artistic roots, adaptable layout and unbeatable location just steps from shops, dining, culture and the Moravian Settlements' newly designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, this unique home offers an opportunity to live within one of the area's most significant neighborhoods.
