Property Description

Welcome home to this beautifully UPDATED 1940 Dutch Colonial in Bethlehem’s highly sought-after Rosemont neighborhood. TIMELESS CHARM meets MODERN COMFORT in this thoughtfully renovated four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home, where classic architectural details blend seamlessly with today’s updates. The main level features ALL-NEW FLOORING and beautifully REMODELED BATHROOMS, while preserving the character that makes this home so special. A cozy WOOD-BURNING fireplace anchors the formal living room, while the inviting formal dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining. A casual breakfast room opens to a bright, spacious family room, creating a comfortable flow for everyday living and gatherings. Upstairs, the SUN-FILLED primary bedroom features a newly renovated EN-SUITE bath. Three additional generously sized bedrooms offer ample storage, while an in-home office or den and full hall bath complete the second level. Step outside and discover a beautifully landscaped backyard that feels like an enchanted garden—a private retreat surrounded by mature plantings, colorful blooms, and inviting spaces to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Ideally situated on one of West Bethlehem’s most desirable streets, this move-in-ready home is just minutes from historic Downtown Bethlehem, parks, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. A rare opportunity to own a classic Rosemont home thoughtfully updated for modern living.
