526 Seneca St
Gracious turn-of-the-century grand home with stately wrap-around porch features spacious rooms, gorgeous vintage woodwork, 2-car detached garage, a fun elevated deck that takes advantage of southern views toward south mountain. Enter from a fantastic porch that features a classic breezy porch swing on the east wing. The main foyer has a magnificent vestibule accented by beautiful leaded glass. This home takes advantage of southern exposure with a wall of windows that line the kitchen, and also along a cool office area on the second level. Sellers are having two egress windows installed in the third level bedrooms, but otherwise the home is being sold as-is - buyer will accept a few more city code items in this sale. This well-loved home does offer a few possibilities for updates and your own vibe, in excellent site near Lehigh University, St Lukes, Steel Stacks / Musikfest, and Bethlehem's world heritage downtown site, commuting, D+L bike trails; great extra potential, and location! With a little elbow grease this stunning residence with gleam even brighter. Who will be the next lucky one to polish this home, sweet home.
