Property Description
Often admired and affectionately known as the "Castle of the Rose Gardens," this extraordinary Frank Chiles-built fieldstone residence is one of Allentown's most iconic homes. Ideally situated directly across from the Allentown Rose Gardens, this custom-built architectural masterpiece offers timeless craftsmanship, character, and over 3,687 square feet of finished living space, including 530 square feet in the lower level. Constructed entirely of solid fieldstone, the home showcases distinctive Old World charm with steep rooflines, a dramatic stone chimney, arched entryway, and exceptional attention to detail with solid wood doors, handcrafted wood trim throughout, deep window sills, 2 wood burning fireplaces and wide plank pegged hardwood floors. The spacious interior offers 3,157 square feet above grade with generously sized rooms, abundant natural light, and endless opportunities to preserve its historic elegance or blend it with modern updates. The finished lower level provides additional living space ideal for recreation or fitness area. An additional detached two-car garage 27' x 24', built in the early 1990s to mirror the architecture of the home, features a workshop 25' x 19' plus a half bath above with interior and exterior staircases, making it ideal for a craftsman, hobbyist, studio, or future guest space. Set on beautifully landscaped grounds in one of Allentown's most prestigious and recognizable locations, this is a rare opportunity to own a true architectural landmark just minutes from parks, walking trails, dining, shopping, and major highways.
