Built in 1931, this classic bungalow is a beautifully preserved example of Hershey's early residential architecture. Its distinctive brick first floor, shingled second story and original first- floor windows reflect the home's period character. Located in the community founded by chocolate magnate Milton S. Hershey in 1903, the home has been painstakingly renovated by its current owners with an eye toward historical accuracy. Extensive improvements-including updated electrical wiring, a rebuilt chimney, a new roof, and renovated kitchen and bathrooms-provide modern comfort and convenience. The home's history includes a connection to David H. Sattazahn, a longtime Hershey trolley conductor who lived here with his family and worked aboard one of the town's final trolley runs in 1946. Enjoy the convenience of in-town living, just two blocks from the historic Hershey Theatre and within walking distance of Hershey Schools, the Derry Township Community Center, Hershey Public Library, shops and restaurants. Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center is approximately two miles away. A front porch spanning the width of the house offers views of Chocolate Avenue, its iconic Hershey Kiss Streetlights and Hersheypark. From your porch, watch Skyrush climb toward its summit or listen to a stadium concert. The annual Hershey Halloween Parade passes just steps away, adding another touch of small-town tradition. Inside, original hardwood floors and abundant natural light highlight the foyer, family and dining rooms. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen features custom cabinetry, with a fully integrated refrigerator and dishwasher concealed behind matching cabinet panels, an apron- front sink, tile backsplash and generous counter space. An adjoining breakfast nook provides a casual dining option, while a pantry with built-in cabinetry offers convenient storage. A first- floor powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations and flexibility for guests or a home office. The renovated full bathroom features a tiled walk-in shower, tile floors and distinctive finishes-even a vintage hook from New York City famed Waldorf Astoria hotel. The lower level offers flexible space for exercise, entertainment and storage, along with laundry facilities and a convenient second powder room. Outside, the deck is an inviting space for grilling and entertaining, while the backyard provides a great setting for gathering around a fire pit. Off-street parking for two vehicles is conveniently located at the rear of the property. A rare combination of architectural character, thoughtful improvements and an exceptional Hershey Location.
