104 W Bertsch Street

If you're looking for a cookie cutter home, keep scrolling. This unique 3 Bedroom, 1 Bath home was built with Edison-style poured concrete construction, and the character shows everywhere from the gabled, board and batten exterior to the sculpted concrete staircase inside. The home sits back on a .14 acre lot, where a curved brick paver walkway leads to an enclosed Sunporch with oversized windows and exposed ceiling beams. It stays cheery and warm in every season, made for your morning coffee. A glass panel entry door with a classic transom light opens to a bright Living Room and a formal Dining Room featuring an original corner hutch. The Kitchen sits just off the Dining Room with wood cabinetry, a range, and a refrigerator, ready for you to make it your own. Then there's the staircase, framed by architectural concrete railings with recessed accent panels. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious Main Bedroom with elevated views, 2 more Bedrooms with hardwood floors, and a clever Hallway closet tucked above the stairs. The Full Bath has been completely remodeled with modern vanity fixtures and an oversized shower. The Full Basement offers plenty of storage, and a coal burner provides hot water and comfortable steam heat. Outside, a side Patio overlooks the partially fenced Rear Yard, with room for pets to roam. The yard and a detached Two-Car Garage with electric service sit along a private lane, giving you parking plus space for a workshop or your next project. Homes like this don't come around often. Located in Carbon County's Panther Valley, a community steeped in coal mining and early railroad history, this home is a short drive to lake and river recreation and downtown Jim Thorpe. Route 209 and the Turnpike keep the Lehigh Valley within reach.
