442 High Street

Sheltered amidst mature landscaping and a canopy of tall trees, this circa 1890 home enjoys a premier location in Bethlehem’s distinguished Historic District. With a brick facade and slate roof, Hilda’s Seashells is an architectural gem named for the elegant wood molding framing the home’s top level. High ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and a newly remodeled kitchen are just a few of amenities to be found here. A vestibule and foyer open to a large living room with crown molding and deep silled windows. The dining room is spacious yet cozy, with etched glass doors that open from the foyer. An updated kitchen and butler’s pantry feature quartz countertops, soft-close cabinets, and stainless appliances. The family room offers a wall of built-ins and a wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite has its own large dressing room with dual closets. A full bath, office, and additional bedroom are on this floor. The finished third level includes two bedrooms, a full bath, and a bonus room with multiple closets for storage. Laundry is in the lower level, which opens to the lush backyard. A bluestone patio is a protected spot for quiet evenings or afternoons with friends. This wonderful property has all the vintage appointments you would expect as well as updates to accommodate modern lifestyles. Located in the heart of downtown Bethlehem, with easy access to shopping, dining, and commuter routes.
