533 4th Street The Elverson House Step into living history. Known as The Elverson House, this magnificent 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Queen Anne granite manor is one of the crown jewels of Catasauqua's iconic Mansion Historic District - a neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1890 and constructed of native green West Chester granite, this extraordinary residence was commissioned as a wedding gift by industrialist James W. Fuller Jr. for his daughter and her husband, Joseph Sketchley Elverson - a prominent Lehigh Valley engineer, chemist, and executive whose name was literally immortalized in the industrial alloy "Elverite." The deed conveys two individual tracts of the original Fuller family estate, adding a layer of historical and legal significance rarely found in a single residential transaction. This is a true diamond in the rough - a rare opportunity for the visionary buyer ready to restore one of the valley's most storied homes to its full glory. The property has most recently been configured to accommodate the accessibility needs of its owner and will benefit from updating and the removal of those modifications, allowing the next steward to reveal the spectacular bones and period details that lie beneath. From the moment you arrive, the home commands attention: a sweeping wrap-around porch, a dramatic turret, and an air of Victorian grandeur simply unmatched in the valley. Enter through oversized double doors into an elegant vestibule, then pass through leaded-glass doors into a breathtaking grand foyer anchored by a tiled fireplace, rich natural woodwork, and gleaming original floors. A magnificent oak staircase rises from the foyer, anchored at the base by a beautifully crafted ornate pier mirror - a showpiece that has welcomed guests for over 130 years. The home offers an impressive 5, 542 sq. ft. of above-grade living space, plus an additional 1, 781 sq. ft. of basement - over 7, 300 total sq. ft. of potential. The interiors are a masterclass in Victorian craftsmanship: stenciled pine floors, a stone fireplace in the master suite, a gracious center hall plan, and generously proportioned formal rooms throughout. Five spacious bedrooms and 3.5 baths provide both grandeur and everyday livability. The leaded glass, tiled hearths, and original millwork reflect the quality of a home built to endure - all awaiting your personal restoration touch. Major capital improvements have already been completed for you: a recently updated furnace and a new roof provide peace of mind and a solid foundation for your renovation investment. Outside, mature trees and lush landscaping frame a park-like presence befitting the property's estate origins. The turret, wrap-around porch, and granite facade make this an unmistakable landmark along one of the most coveted blocks in the historic district. Catasauqua Borough requires no municipal resale inspection. Minutes from Routes 22 and 78, the Lehigh Valley corridor, and all area amenities. Properties of this scale, history, and architectural integrity rarely come to market - and none come with greater potential. Bring your vision. The Elverson House is ready for its next chapter.
