** Highest and Best Offers Please by 2PM Monday 5/4*** Tucked among the iconic sycamore-lined streets of Edgeboro, this stately three-story home offers a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a true classic. Surrounded by grand estate-style properties in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence is ready for its next chapter. Inside, you’ll find a spacious, rambling layout across 3 stories, filled with character. Generous living spaces, a large kitchen footprint, and an inviting flow set the stage for a stunning transformation. The den showcases original stone walls that add warmth and texture, while the large living room is accented by an inviting wood burning fireplace and crown molding. Upstairs, multiple bedrooms with a full bath on each level, provide flexibility for growing households or guest accommodations. In keeping with the age of the home, an adorable “trunk room” with cabinets for linen storage exists behind a glassed entry among the bedrooms. A walk-in cedar closet and large attic add storage options. The back garden leads to a detached two-car garage, also accessed from the rear alley. The surrounding neighborhood offers a picturesque setting that’s hard to replicate. Edgeboro stands out for its mature trees, distinctive homes, and unique character. With its solid bones, and unbeatable location just minutes from nationally-acclaimed Downtown Bethlehem, this property is a hidden gem.
