Welcome to this Downtown Hershey gem on East Areba Avenue. Talk about square footage for days! This well loved home is looking for new owners to make memories, just as the owners have done for many years. You can feel the history within this home. This quaint little nook of Hershey is surrounded by everything you need and more. Just down the block are tennis courts where you can join your friends for a game of pickleball, or pop over to the new Hershey Rec Center, practically in your back yard for a swim or workout in the gym. If you have children, the schools are a few minute walk just around the corner. You do not even have to cross a street to get there. Of course all the pleasures of Downtown Hershey and the Hershey Theatre, are just steps away. Or are you looking for a quiet evening at home, then maybe relax on your peaceful covered porch or enjoy the fireplace within your large eat in kitchen. The living area has been enhanced by opening up the space for an open concept living room, and private dining area for formal dinner times. The second floor which was originally three bedrooms was converted to two with a larger primary space. This can be easily converted back into three bedrooms on the second level. The attic area is a bonus bedroom, play room or even luxurious walk in closet. Plumbing has been added to the attic level if you choose to get even more creative with the space. The basement level is mostly finished with an additional room that was used as a fourth bedroom. You will also find a nice finished space for a small gym and laundry on this level as well. Below the extended kitchen is another underground area perfect for a workshop and storage. Outside, your property is connected to the alley for more parking, and is where you will find a detatched two car extended garage with tons of storage above. This back yard view looks directly to the ball field and Derry Township Schools, and has space for a large garden. Come check out all this home has to offer. Sellers loved living here and have moved on to their retirement oasis. We are doing a Back on the Market Open House today! Buyers had an inspection where the age of the attic roof was discussed. They decided to cancel due to this even though the sellers are now replacing the roof and will be completed by the end of June. Don't miss out on this one this time around! This is a second chance of a lifetime you do not see often!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
