About This Home
As of November 2021Character and charm from this colonial victorian are found throughout its large 2 story floorplan. Most of the home’s mechanical systems have been either replaced, repaired or restored, including a new roof, on the main house and rear extension, new electrical panel and wiring throughout most of the home, a new water treatment/ softener system, and heating & plumbing system repairs. The current owner was in the process of restoring this home back to its original glory, but will not be able to wrap up the remaining loose ends and cosmetic improvements! So, here’s your opportunity to own a large single home at an affordable price! Most of the unfinished work includes the front porch, rear master bedroom & bath, and cosmetics from the stairway up through to the 2nd floor hall. Cash only! Being sold as is.
As you enter this home from an enclosed front porch you are greeted by a large foyer staircase and 2 spacious living rooms. The eat in kitchen continues back to a mudroom area with a full bath and rear access to a large 12 x 18 deck which is elevated and overlooks a large 2 story barn. Upstairs there is a total of 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a walk-through office nook area and accesses the full bath. The smaller bedroom has access to a walk-up attic which is fully floored and unfinished. There is plenty of storage space, including a large walkout basement with the laundry and 3 large separate unfinished rooms for storage. The barn has 2 car parking with separate parking bays and double access to a large second floor. Located just west of the Lehigh Valley!
