Description

Welcome to The Blue House, or La Casa Azul. Similar to Frida Kahlo's beautiful residence:
“Painted in blue, inside out, it seems to host a bit of sky. It is the typical house of small-town tranquility where good food and sleep give one enough energy to live without major problems and die peacefully…”. - Carlos Pellicer. Tucked away on a tranquil street near downtown Hershey, the owner has artistically renovated this home to be modernized for comfort while retaining its original character and creative...Welcome to The Blue House, or La Casa Azul. Similar to Frida Kahlo's beautiful residence:

“Painted in blue, inside out, it seems to host a bit of sky. It is the typical house of small-town tranquility where good food and sleep give one enough energy to live without major problems and die peacefully…”. - Carlos Pellicer. Tucked away on a tranquil street near downtown Hershey, the owner has artistically renovated this home to be modernized for comfort while retaining its original character and creative spirit. Renovations include an added bedroom, added full master bathroom, new hardwood flooring & tile on first floor, new carpet on 2nd floor, new kitchen (cabinets, SS appliances, tile floor, ceiling fan), and painted inside and out (in blue). 1st floor full bath was completely remodeled in 2017 with new tile, new shower, new paint, etc. A home office space has been created in basement so you can study or work from home. Newer blinds/window treatments, newer shed in spacious backyard for extra storage, concrete laid out in back if one desired to add a detached garage, updated plumbing, electric, and central air. Patio recently enclosed to enjoy the chocolatey air without the concern of pesky flies, and 2 other porches from which to enjoy your breakfast coffee or evening wine. Strategic walls were taken down to add a closet to the 1st floor bedroom, add a dining room, add a pantry, and create an open concept in this charming 1946 Cape Cod. You will enjoy the result: a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath nest within walking/biking distance to Hershey Med, Hershey schools, and the restaurants and shoppes of Chocolate Town. You will appreciate the uniquely low taxes on this downtown Hershey home, perfect for your next chapter or to add to your investment portfolio. Book your appointment to tour La Casa Azul today, and experience this piece of art in person. New hot water heater March 2024.
