Property Description
residential architecture. Its distinctive brick first floor, shingled second story and original first-
floor windows reflect the home's period character. Located in the community founded by
chocolate magnate Milton S. Hershey in 1903, the home has been painstakingly renovated
by its current owners with an eye toward historical accuracy.
Extensive improvements—including updated electrical wiring, a rebuilt chimney, a new roof,
and renovated kitchen and bathrooms—provide modern comfort and convenience. The
home's history includes a connection to David H. Sattazahn, a longtime Hershey trolley
conductor who lived here with his family and worked aboard one of the town's final trolley
runs in 1946.
Enjoy the convenience of in-town living, just two blocks from the historic Hershey Theatre
and within walking distance of Hershey Schools, the Derry Township Community Center,
Hershey Public Library, shops and restaurants. Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical
Center is approximately two miles away.
A front porch spanning the width of the house offers views of Chocolate Avenue, its iconic
Hershey Kiss Streetlights and Hersheypark. From your porch, watch Skyrush climb toward
its summit or listen to a stadium concert. The annual Hershey Halloween Parade passes just
steps away, adding another touch of small-town tradition.
Inside, original hardwood floors and abundant natural light highlight the foyer, family and
dining rooms. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen features custom cabinetry, with a fully
integrated refrigerator and dishwasher concealed behind matching cabinet panels, an apron-
front sink, tile backsplash and generous counter space. An adjoining breakfast nook provides
a casual dining option, while a pantry with built-in cabinetry offers convenient storage. A first-
floor powder room completes the main level.
Upstairs, three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations and flexibility for guests or a
home office. The renovated full bathroom features a tiled walk-in shower, tile floors and
distinctive finishes—even a vintage hook from New York City famed Waldorf Astoria hotel.
The lower level offers flexible space for exercise, entertainment and storage, along with
laundry facilities and a convenient second powder room.
Outside, the deck is an inviting space for grilling and entertaining, while the backyard
provides a great setting for gathering around a fire pit. Off-street parking for two vehicles is
conveniently located at the rear of the property.
A rare combination of architectural character, thoughtful improvements and an exceptional Hershey Location.
