FRENCH INSPIRED - WEST END CLASSIC. Built in 1930, a time in Allentown history, when residents began to transition from the tight urban neighborhoods of Center Allentown, to the spacious landscaped suburban neighborhoods west. The West End is an area of particular character & distinction, marked by arts & crafts style homes built primarily in the early 1900's. The area has a mix of architecture & distinct designs that adds to the neighborhood’s charm, most notable for its streetscapes of mature canopy trees, sidewalks, historic street lights, & spacious yards. Since its inception, only 3 families have owned this home. The current owners have combined the elegance and charm of the early 1900's with the conveniences and style of modern day living - evidenced by the functioning speakeasy in the basement which is adjacent to the tiered seating, movie theatre. The distinguished character & impeccable architecture of this property is a rare treasure for those interested in antique homes
