Welcome to this charming and character-rich Craftsman-style Cape Cod located in West Bethlehem’s sought-after Rosemont neighborhood. This lovingly maintained 2-story home offers timeless appeal with modern updates throughout. Step into the spacious 24' x 9' enclosed front porch, perfect for relaxing, which opens through French doors into a generous living room featuring built-in bookcases, wood fireplace and 8'5" ceilings that enhance the sense of space and light. The formal dining room leads to a beautiful kitchen with brand-new stainless steel appliances and new flooring (2024), plus access to a cozy 17' x 7' rear enclosed porch. The first floor also includes a convenient primary bedroom with a private half bath ensuite. Upstairs, you’ll find three additional nice sized bedrooms and a full hall bath. Outside, enjoy the fenced yard, paver patio, and a detached 2-car garage. A unique opportunity to own a home full of warmth, character, and functionality in one of Bethlehem’s most desirable neighborhoods! Interesting Fact: 650 Highland Avenue was once home to Henry Sylvester Jacoby, a leading civil engineer of the early 20th century. A professor and author of foundational bridge design still studied today, Jacoby chose this home for his retirement. His legacy in engineering and education adds historic depth to this character-filled property, a rare chance to own a piece of Bethlehem’s and America’s intellectual heritage.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
