Originally constructed by William and Elizabeth Bowsman, the sandstone Georgian townhome has been meticulously preserved, honoring its architectural integrity while seamlessly accommodating modern use.

The property offers exceptional mixed-use potential, with approximately 5,500 square feet of commercial space across the first and lower levels. The primary office space was thoughtfully designed by renowned architect C. Emlen Urban for Milton Hershey, intended to entice him to return his confectionery business to the area. A rare and invaluable amenity in the city, the property also includes a 14-car rear garage equipped with an EV charging station, further enhancing its appeal as a premier business opportunity in a prime commercial zone.
Above the commercial space lies a magnificently restored 3,500-square-foot residence featuring three bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath. Completely upgraded between 2015 and 2016, the home blends historic character with refined, metropolitan finishes. New Roof 2025. Soaring ceilings and an open, light-filled layout create a sense of effortless sophistication and residential comfort rarely found in the city.
