This custom built cottage by Frank Chiles - with close proximity to downtown Bethlehem - is now available to purchase. The park-like front yard envelopes you with mature trees and privacy. As with many Chiles-built homes...the stone front was carefully laid-out, and the interior spaces are filled with charm, including cottage-style doors and strap hinges that mark his aesthetic. Many rooms feature window seats, crown molding, custom built-ins and random-width pegged flooring. The living room includes a wood-burning fireplace with Moravian tile hearth, and dutch-door access to a screened porch. The screened porch can also be accessed from the sunny eat-in kitchen that's modern with stainless appliances. A light-filled den has been added, that could also serve as a third bedroom. The first-floor laundry and mudroom offer convenience. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, both with hardwood under carpets. The primary with its own en-suite bath, and a full hall bath for guests. There is a bonus space off the second bedroom, that could serve as office space or playroom. The partially finished basement includes more built-in storage and flexible gathering space. The landscaped backyard can be enjoyed from the patio or screened porch, and includes a custom storage shed. This home is a short walk from the Monocacy creek, and offers a wonderful North Bethlehem location. This home is a must see!
