About This Home

Opportunity knocks in the heart of Fountain Hill. Half bath on the main level, three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, plus a bonus room that works as a home office, library, or den. A walk-up attic and full basement add storage or room for future expansion. Sold as-is and priced accordingly — a chance to build instant equity and finish the home to your own standard. Strong bones and a functional layout give you a solid starting point. Minutes from St. Luke's University Hospital, Lehigh University, and the shops and restaurants of Bethlehem's Southside, with fast access to Route 378 and I-78. A compelling project for investors, contractors, and buyers ready to put in the work in one of the Lehigh Valley's steadiest rental pockets.
