What the owner loves about this home
The architecture reminds you of being in and about an old European Town with its owner apartment on the upper floors, and its business readily accessible at street level which was originally built to suit the owner's views and desires for the business. This home was built by a German immigrant man and its construction began in the late 1800's and finished in 1900 and he had his business on the street level which was the first Creamery/Cheese business in then the early City of Allentown. Next to it on S. Jefferson street, the old feed storage building still stands (does not belong to the present property) In the early 2000's it became my art and design studio, it is also known by the City of Allentown that an artist drew the first sketches of the first Wild Water Kingdom at Dorney Park was designed. The home has a wonderful history that encompasses many other attributes. You need to be special to want to live or better yet own this home.
It as been meticulously maintained by its present owner and it has been totally restored to its original form. It is worth noting that the Mansard roof and steeple made of white copper with triangular steel were color coordinated and designed by its present lady owner and put into place by a trained artisan with knowledge of European old world color and design. Near beautiful parks, new venues such as the Hockey Arena, Da Vinci Center, Montessori School, and many other historical venues along with well-known medical centers and houses or worship within walking distance. Extremely peaceful and quiet at night.
