Come celebrate the Christmas season and all seasons at the Historic Tudor House!

One of the most unique and upscale apartments in the Lehigh Valley is available for rent. This is a one-bedroom unit located in a historic Normandy/English Tudor Mansion within walking distance of Lehigh University, St. Luke's Hospital, and historic Bethlehem. This is the heart of the home that once served at the main dining room 100 years ago when this was a single-family home. Because of this the unit has many historic and unique features such as a fireplace mantel that spans an entire wall from floor to ceiling with built in drawers that used to store the family's table linen and silverware.

The ceiling in this combination dining/living room is a coffered ceiling with quarter sawn red oak beams running across the entire ceiling. The chandelier is original and was added when electricity became fashionable in the early 1900 hundreds. New energy efficient windows on the south side not only make this apartment bright and sunny with natural light but also offer a beautiful view of South Mountain.

The kitchen is new and features the top of the line appliances, all stain steel finishes including a dishwasher, a stove, a refrigerator with an ice maker, and a garbage disposal. Recessed lights in the ceiling make the kitchen bright and cheery. The cabinets are quarter saw oak, many with glass doors and oil rubbed bronze hardware that complement the faucet. The counter top is granite with a tumbled marble backsplash.
The bathroom has also been completely renovated with a combination tub and shower, floor to ceiling designer tile, a three-piece crown molding, a pedestal sink and a walk-in closet.
The bedroom is off the living/dining room and is accessed by the original leaded glass door that once separated the dining room from the rest of the house. The bedroom is 11x13 with Berber carpeting on the floor and a closet off to the side.
Easy access to the unit with only three steps from the front drive that leads directly into the unit. There is a private parking lot is in the rear of the building as well as a laundry room in the basement. Availability will be after November 1, 2024.
