Welcome to 1718 Chester Road, a beautifully designed, well-maintained 3-bedroom townhouse offering modern, designer finishes, flexible living space, and a private backyard retreat. The main level features a bright, open living and dining area with abundant natural light, laminate wood flooring, and custom built-ins, offering both character and additional storage.

Additional features include an attached one-car garage, driveway parking, replacement windows, and attic storage. Enjoy the convenient Bethlehem location within minutes of major roadways, including Routes 33, 78, and 22, as well as area hospitals, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities, with New York City also within reach.

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.
