Enter another era... one filled with elegance, sophistication and unparalleled craftsmanship as you cross the threshold into the Ziegenfuss House. Designed and built in 1915 by the area’s preeminent architectural firm of Jacoby and Weishampel for a prominent Allentown family, this stunning home retains much of its original character.

Grand and welcoming, the terrazzo and mosaic wraparound porch is the first sign of the many extraordinary highlights that will captivate you. Ten foot ceilings, patterned hardwood floors, pocket doors and marble thresholds grace the first and second floors. Exquisite fireplaces with mercer tile, built-in cabinetry and elongated triple windows with leaded glass are the focal points in the library, living and dining rooms. The first floor landing overlooks the colorful and well-tended perennial gardens. Steps beyond, four bedrooms, including one with veranda views of city lights, and a master suite with an adjoining office, are complemented with lovely arched windows, window seats and substantial closet space. The finished third level with copious storage is currently home to a playroom and art studio.

Outfitted with restaurant quality appliances, the kitchen features an eight burner Garland stove with two ovens and a Bosch dishwasher, as well as the original cabinets and access to the butler and grocer’s pantries. The breakfast area is the former staff waiting area and retains the original bell call system.  This breathtaking property preserves history at every turn.
