Location, location, location! Old world charm meets modern upgrades in this historic home in the heart of Downtown Hershey. Known to locals as the "Hershey Kiss House" for its unique stained glass front door, 239 Elm Avenue sits on one of Hershey's most beloved and prestigious streets, where history, character, and convenience come together. Winner of the Hershey Derry Township Historical Society's annual Preservation Award, this 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home has stood the test of time with thoughtful renovations, including a two story addition in 2004 and a recent gourmet kitchen transformation. Just a short walk to Downtown Hershey, the Hershey Theatre, HersheyPark, Cocoa Castle, the rec center and pool, baseball fields, tennis courts, and Derry Township schools, this home offers the perfect setting for an active family lifestyle. First Floor: A recent kitchen renovation brought fresh style and functionality with a large island, light granite countertops, double wall ovens, induction cooktop with rapid boil, precise control, and easy clean-up, built in microwave, appliance garages, and a warm breakfast nook. The flexible first floor layout includes a large dining room with a gas fireplace, a sitting room and full bath that once served as an in law suite, a half bath, and a wonderfully inviting screened in porch, perfect for summer evenings. The grand family room features barnwood hardwood floors and surround sound, creating an ideal space for movie nights, celebrations, and everyday living. A well designed mudroom keeps busy days organized with four cubbies and a double basin sink. Second & Third Floors: The second floor includes a stunning primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a standing tub, double vanity, shower with multi jet system, and a massive walk in closet. A convenient laundry room, three additional bedrooms, and a full bath complete this level. The third floor, once the original primary suite, adds even more flexibility with its own bathroom and walk in closet, making it perfect for guests, teens, or a private home office. Lower Level: Downstairs, the partially finished basement provides a play area for kids, hangout space for teens, or a quiet workspace, plus abundant storage. Outdoor Living: Mature trees and landscaping create a peaceful backdrop for outdoor living. The red brick patio with a built in wood burning fire pit invites year round entertaining. A detached two car garage and large driveway with basketball nets add convenience and fun. And of course, the holidays on Elm Avenue are unmatched. Experience beautifully decorated homes and over 1,000 trick or treaters on a street known for its festive spirit and community charm! This is a home with heart, history, and room to grow. Come see it, you'll be captivated.
