1453 Main St, Bethlehem, PA 18018

The home has solid oak hardwood floors on the 1st and 2nd levels, hard yellow pine flooring in the finished attic and a tiled floor in the finished basement. The front door opens into the 1st floor living room which has a wood burning fireplace and a tile hearth that matches the pattern of the tiled floor outside the front door. Off the living room through an arched doorway next to the fireplace is a 'sun' porch with a floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinet and 5 east and south facing windows. Off of the sun porch is a full bathroom with a large stall shower and a large towel/linen closet. Separated from the living room by 2 beautiful French doors is the dining room featuring a distinct flooring pattern, a large coat/storage closet and a built-in corner china-cabinet. Through the frosted-glass-paneled swinging door is the newly refinished kitchen. The kitchen has brand new flooring, a new dishwasher, and an eat-in counter-top that shows off the JennAir range/stove which is perfect for indoor grilling. The kitchen has plenty of storage space with cabinets that go up to the 9' ceilings and for additional storage there is a small closet on the landing that leads to the side door and basement stairway. The basement is accessed either through the kitchen or the house side door. It has an open floor plan with separate rooms for the 5 year-old high-efficiency multi-zone furnace, a large laundry room with a large built-in shelving unit, and its own bathroom! An oak staircase in the living room leads to the 2nd floor which has 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom with a hallway linen closet. The main front bedroom has two separate closets, one completely cedar- lined. The rear bedroom has a single closet, while the third 'bedroom' is best suited as a nursery, office, or exercise/sewing room since it has no closet and is a walk-through to the door for the attic staircase. The attic contains the official 3rd bedroom. The room has knotty-pine paneling and plenty of built-ins. There are 8 built-in drawers, 2 bookcases (each with a thick mahogany top), a large walk-in closet and its own powder room! The two attic eves are accessed through custom doors built into the knotty-pine paneling. The front one is available for storage, while the rear one houses the central air-conditioning air handler. The house has a large patio in the back yard highlighted by a pretty red Maple tree that is visible from the rear-facing kitchen window. At the rear of the back yard, there is an extra large two-car garage. The garage has it's own 100 Amp breaker panel and a large 3/4 height attic for extra storage space. The large blacktop pad between the garage and the alley is perfect for additional parking or nearly full-court basketball playing.
