Looking for a smart investment in the Old Allentown Historic District? This Victorian home with wrap-around porch is the perfect mix of original architectural features and thoughtful updates for modern life. Solid wood double doors with raised panels and hand-carved oak leaves welcome you into a foyer accented with black and white marble floor and cherry blossom wallpaper. An original chestnut wood newel post and banister lend a warm and inviting hue to this space. Double pocket doors lead you into a large and sunny living room with 9.5-foot ceiling. A spacious dining room with bay window and original built-in china cabinet connects to an updated kitchen with marble floor, pantry, and direct access to the covered porch and deck. A winder staircase leads to three bedrooms and a full bathroom on the second floor. The south-facing primary bedroom is a quiet space that enjoys an abundance of sunlight. A walk-in closet with original built-in cabinet is an added bonus. The updated bathroom has been carefully designed in shades of gray and white with durable luxury vinyl plank flooring. Follow another set of winder stairs to the third floor - a huge space that lends itself to so many uses: art studio, office/library, family room, gaming room, etc. Outside, you'll find a spacious yard with a majestic black walnut tree that provides cool shade on hot summer days. A two-car garage is accessible via the rear alley (Brush St.)
