Welcome to this beautifully updated Bethlehem home, where rustic charm meets modern comfort. Bright, inviting living spaces, updated flooring, and abundant natural light create a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. This unique home offers a flexible layout with two full kitchens and a private in-law suite, ideal for extended family, guests, or a variety of living arrangements. Thoughtful updates preserve the property’s original character while adding the comfort and convenience buyers want today. Step outside to enjoy a large deck overlooking the spacious backyard, perfect for entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing outdoors. A detached two-car garage with additional workshop space provides even more room for storage, hobbies, or projects. Located in one of Bethlehem’s most desirable areas, this distinctive converted barn-style home offers charm, space, and convenience just minutes from shopping, dining, and local parks. When you get a chance, change the wording of the last sentence to Butztown to below. I don’t think it’s helping and might limit our upside. With a clear CO and a versatile layout, this move-in-ready property is a unique opportunity in a desirable Bethlehem location. Schedule your showing today.
