About this home
Townhouse · Built 1900 · Historic
Historic Victorian Mixed-Use Gem – West Walnut District, Allentown Meticulously restored Victorian in Allentown’s sought-after West Walnut Historic District, steps from downtown. Features 2 updated residential units plus street-level commercial space (currently a beauty salon). Unit 1: 2BR, new marble bath. Unit 2: spacious duplex with mountain views. Both units offer granite kitchens, new stainless appliances, oak floors, porches, and high ceilings. Restored high tower with white copper detail and mansard slate roof by master artisan. Tower delivers 345° panoramic views of South Mountain & historic landmarks. Built c.1900 by a German immigrant as the city’s first creamery/cheese shop; later an art & design studio tied to Wild Water Kingdom’s early design. Walk to parks, PPL Center, Da Vinci Center, Montessori School, medical centers, shops, and dining. Quiet at night, vibrant by day—ideal for live/work, investment, or owner-occupant. A rare blend of historic character, modern upgrades, and prime location.
