130 E MOUNTAIN RD Allentown, PA 18103

Situated on the far corner of South Allentown with long-distance views north reaching across the city to Blue Mountain, this is a c. 1929 Craftsman-style brick and cedar-shingle house with a frame, c. 1955 Mid-Century Modern addition. Offered for the first time since 1958, it has had some updates over the years, including a switch to natural gas, hot-water heat in the past 5 years, tilt-in Andersen sash and casement windows (kitchen, dining room and two bedrooms) and a complete kitchen renovation in 2000. It offers 1500 square feet with a basement, attic and one-car garage. The step-down main living room (c. 1955 and classically mid-century) features rich, Honduran mahogany paneling, a blonde brick fireplace with mahogany built-ins on each side, and three sets of picture windows framing views of a terraced rear yard. There are oak hardwood floors in the dining room and two bedrooms. A galley-style kitchen is outfitted with cherry cabinetry. Located on a dead-end street, traffic is minimal, the sunsets to the west are classic, the lights of the city twinkle every night and I-78 is just a few minutes away - a fantastic location with good "bones" for the buyer interested in doing a mix of cosmetic sprucing up and some larger repairs. Offered "as is".
