This beautiful Shingle Style house on Days Park is a real bargain in a quickly appreciating neighborhood. It has been nicely updated with major interior renovations, which retain much of the historic charm, including a beautiful wood paneled stair. In addition to the park out front the back yard is like a private sanctuary of green. Here are some of the specs; Built in 1892, 1,824 sf, 2 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, taxes are $1,995, and it has a hidden balcony on top of the round turret that dominates the front. Here is what the Realtor has to say about it:
Historically significant brick/shingle style home built in 1892 on Days Park, a Frederick Law Olmsted designed park. This home was stripped down to studs and rebuilt over the years. It consists of 3 finished floors w/ loads of original charm and modern finishes. Recent improvements incld; stunning 1st floor bath with separate tub/shower and radiant heat floors, lovely oak hardwood floors, antique doors, built-in bookcases/cabinets, deck, thoughtful landscaping and custom shed. 3rd floor has vaulted ceilings and a door that leads to a flat roof in turret w/views of Park and surrounding areas.
I believe the house is included in the Allentown Historic District, is basically new on the inside, and the street setting is extra charming. I can’t imagine this one staying on the market long.
