Property Description

An uncommon opportunity in the heart of Bethlehem, 917 Main Street offers the scale, character and flexibility rarely found in a residential investment property this close to the city's historic core. Familiar to many who know this stretch of Main Street, the substantial c.1885 brick residence encompasses approximately 3,426 SF above grade and is currently arranged as four separate living units. The existing configuration provides a variety of layouts across three levels, including multiple kitchens and baths, generously proportioned rooms and individual living spaces that retain the character of the original home. High ceilings, tall windows, substantial room sizes and period architectural details speak to the building's late-19th-century Victorian origins, while its long history of adaptation illustrates just how versatile the property can be.
What truly distinguishes 917 Main Street is what lies beyond the building itself. The unusually deep lot opens to a surprisingly expansive and private rear lawn — an unexpected oasis in this in-town setting. A covered porch and large screened porch extend the living space outdoors, while mature plantings and established landscaping create an appealing garden environment for residents. At the far end of the property, a detached three-car garage with rear access adds an especially valuable amenity. Additional basement space provides approximately 1,150 SF for storage and mechanicals, with painted masonry walls, distinctive arched openings and direct utility value. For the investor, the property presents an intriguing combination: substantial square footage, multiple existing living areas, outdoor space, garage parking and a highly convenient Bethlehem location. Its configuration also offers an opportunity for a future owner to evaluate improvements, repositioning or alternative use according to their investment objectives. A property with this much space inside and out is difficult to replicate in an established city neighborhood. 917 Main Street is not simply a multi-unit building; it is a distinctive piece of Bethlehem's residential fabric with remarkable potential for its next chapter.
