Bring Home Happiness in this circa 1832 Allentown charmer with all of the character you'd expect and the kind of maintenance you don't often find, tucked away on a quiet block just off Elmwood in the heart of the Historic Preservation District. Step inside and the bright, spacious living room sets the tone with original hardwood floors, rich wood trim and wall sconces, while a wide cased opening draws you into the formal dining room with plenty of space to gather friends and family for the holidays. Keep going to the eat-in kitchen, where crisp white cabinetry, tile backsplash and a vintage stained glass fixture that is sure to be a topic of conversation lead to French doors opening right out to the deck. Before you head outside, make your way upstairs to 2 bedrooms, including a vaulted primary with skylight and walk-in closet that will be tough to leave on Sunday morning, plus a full bath and second floor laundry. Down below, the full dry basement offers plenty of storage and fully updated mechanicals, furnace 2022 and the roof was new in 2025! Now back through those French doors, because the deep city lot is a rare bonus that delivers one outdoor space after another. Start with morning coffee on the large deck, wander down to the brick paver patio with room for a firepit, then follow the string lights to a grapevine covered pergola where a long table for 12 fits right under the vines, with a storage shed alongside. Whether you're hosting summer dinner parties or enjoying a couple of bevvies by the fire, this private and peaceful yard is truly a sanctuary in the city, and the concrete driveway provides off street parking. When you're ready to venture out, you're just steps to the restaurants, galleries and nightlife of Allen Street, Elmwood Avenue, Kleinhans, the Medical Campus and all that Downtown has to offer, with the Allentown Art Festival right in your backyard every June. It's difficult to find something move in ready with this much character and outdoor space, so don't wait on this one. Some photos virtually staged. Showings start immediately!
