212–214 N 8th St blends historic charm, modern updates, and strong investment potential—all in one of Allentown’s most treasured neighborhoods. This exceptional mixed-use property is the type of investment any discerning buyer would be proud to add to their portfolio. The residential unit features 4 spacious bedrooms and 1.5 baths, showcasing classic Old Allentown character with gleaming hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, elegant winding staircases, and architectural details lovingly maintained through generations. A mini-split A/C system provides powerful cooling without the hassle of window units. Step through sliding glass doors into your very own “secret garden” patio—a private, fenced, and locked outdoor retreat perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Rear gated access provides off-street parking, which could be extended for more spaces if desired.
The commercial unit offers 1,300 sq ft of versatile space currently configured with 3 private offices, a reception area, break room, and 1/2 bath. The space is separately metered, with the tenant responsible for their own electricity. The owner currently covers the building’s gas/heat costs, which totaled just $2,563 over the past 12 months. With the current tenant relocating by July 31, the space will soon be ready for a new business or creative vision. Situated in the vibrant Old Allentown Historic District, this detached brick building offers both residential charm and commercial opportunity on one beautifully preserved lot.
