Overview

Located on one of Hershey’s most desirable streets, this stately 4,100 square foot traditional home sits on an exceptionally rare .45 acre lot in the Sweetest Place on Earth. Built in 1939, the home blends renowned architectural character with thoughtfully executed modern updates, offering a timeless alternative to trend driven design.

The exterior architecture has long been admired, while the interior reflects more than a decade of intentional renovations featuring high end finishes, superior woodworking, and consistent craftsmanship throughout. This is a home designed for real living, balancing elegant entertaining spaces with comfortable, private areas for everyday life.

Unlike open concept homes, the thoughtfully defined floor plan offers multiple gathering spaces that allow conversation, connection, and quiet to coexist. The main level features a large family room filled with natural light from a picture window and anchored by a wood burning fireplace. A formal dining room, also featuring a picture window, provides a welcoming setting for holidays and special occasions.

The completely remodeled kitchen is both impressive and functional, featuring Viking appliances, Snitz Creek cabinetry, and generous counter space designed for serious cooking and casual gatherings alike. An adjoining breakfast area offers a relaxed place to start the day while allowing the kitchen to remain a dedicated and purposeful space.

An office with abundant natural light provides an ideal work from home environment. The sunroom, with two walls of windows and transoms, offers a peaceful retreat for morning coffee, reading, or informal meals. An updated powder room completes the main level.

Upstairs, the remodeled primary suite combines craftsmanship with comfort. A sitting area was added to enhance the space, while the primary bath features a double vanity, claw foot soaking tub, tiled shower, and windows that fill the room with natural light. A large walk in closet completes the suite.

The second and third bedrooms each feature their own private, suite quality bathrooms. These thoughtfully upgraded spaces include tile floors, fully tiled showers, and glass doors, offering a level of finish rarely found outside a primary suite. The result is three bedrooms that each feel private, elevated, and complete.

The third floor provides exceptional flexibility and can serve as a fourth bedroom, study, craft space, or additional living area tailored to your lifestyle.

The finished lower level features a wood burning FP and offers both a true game room and a separate gaming area with multiple screens, creating another defined space for entertaining or relaxing.

Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a covered patio and a fenced yard that provides privacy for gatherings around a fire pit. Mature landscaping enhances the setting, and the expansive lot size is exceptionally rare in downtown Hershey.

Located just steps awayfrom the local school campus, the home offers the rare convenience of walking to school from elementary through high school. Over the years, this proximity has made the home a natural gathering place for children and friends, fostering a sense of connection and community that is increasingly hard to find.

Elm Avenue is also known for its vibrant traditions and strong sense of community. The annual Halloween Parade begins on this street, drawing families and visitors who line the sidewalks early in the morning to save their spots. Trick or Treat is a true event here, with children filling the street each year. Throughout the year, and especially during the holidays, homes along Elm Ave are beautifully decorated, creating a festive and welcoming atmosphere that makes the street a favorite for walking, gathering, and celebrations.

Within walking distance to schools, parks, the library, the public pool, and downtown restaurants, this home offers a unique opportunity to own a beautifully preserved & updated piece of Hershey history.
