About this home
Opportunity awaits in this spacious North Bethlehem townhome offering 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and three levels of living space! The main level features open-concept living and dining rooms, along with a bright kitchen offering plenty of cabinet space. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bath. The finished walk-out lower level includes a family room, half bath, laundry area, and sliding doors leading to a covered patio and fenced backyard. A built-in one-car garage and driveway provide convenient off-street parking. No association fees! Ideally located near schools, shopping, and major commuter routes, including Routes 22, 33, and 78.
Northeast Bethlehem, located between Monocacy Creek and the Lehigh River, is a residential and mixed-use Bethlehem neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a walkable grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Main Street at Broad Street, where corner cafes, small restaurants, and local storefronts set a steady, street-level rhythm. Moravian Book Shop, Touchstone Theatre, and the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts act as cultural anchors with a distinctly Bethlehem point of view. Housing leans toward brick twins, compact rowhomes, and older detached homes with deep porches and mature shade. Sidewalks trace toward the riverfront and creek paths, while pocket parks and school grounds add breathing room. Daily life reads as practical and polished, with downtown energy close enough to feel without dominating the blocks.
