Description:

THIS LIVE AND WORK HOME IS The Bethlehem Star...THE PERFECT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY....
On one of HISTORIC BETHLEHEM’S MOST ADMIRED STREETS, just a half block up from Main
Street, this 1835/45 historic, brick home was built prominently between a 1700’s
WHEELWRIGHTS AND A GENERAL STORE. The property was home, for over 150 years, to
both MORAVIAN CHURCH OFFICES and Saucon Mutual Insurance. Over that time, property
records were housed in a vault on the first floor of 74 W. Market. SAUCON VALLEY MUTUAL INSURANCE (est. 1832) provided insurance for the early Moravian community property
owners. The two top floors served as a private residence, a unique enhancement for the
time. For the last 25 years it has housed offices for a financial services company.
Located in Bethlehem’s Central Business District, in charming Historic Bethlehem, this
property offers a great opportunity to invest in a highly visible and high volume location.
Dual front entrances and an intriguing floor plan provide flexibility for your future
design. Potential uses should be investigated with the City of Bethlehem.
This historic building boasts 9’-10’ ceilings and period appointments, a nod to a stunning
legacy. From the top floors there are wonderful views of the Moravian Church Belfry
and the Star of Bethlehem.
