About This Home

As of May 2017

Here is a great house in a desirable community that has enjoyed many improvements since its original construction. The original home was expanded to enlarge the kitchen, main bedroom, and add a main bath, plus a covered side porch and patio. The exterior received new windows and new siding. The original 2 car detached garage was also expanded to accommodate 3 cars. Step into the living room from the front entrance and find gleaming hardwood floors that extend into the kitchen, hallways, and 2nd bedroom. The modern kitchen has enjoyed new stainless steel appliances within recent years as well as new light fixtures. The hall bath was just remodeled and features a corner glass enclosed shower, new vanity, and tile floor. The main bath features a Sterling luxury height toilet, recessed lighting, a 60" vanity with granite counter top, and tile floor. The main bedroom also enjoyed new carpet, new recessed lighting, Roman shades on the windows, and fresh paint. Upstairs you'll find a charming 3rd bedroom with it's own sitting area, built-in bookshelves, and access to attic storage space. This bedroom is heated with baseboard electric and cooled with a mini-split A/C system. The basement is unfinished, except for another full bath, and offers many possibilities for finishing. Plans were in the works to complete a new laundry room, but that job will need to be addressed by the new owner if desired. The basement is full and dry and provides a walk-out door to the rear of the house. Outside you'll love the new red cedar shadow box fencing which encloses the entire rear yard and gives you protected access to and from your garage. There is also a concrete driveway which is the full width of your garage so you'll have lots of parking for your guests when you entertain. Convenient location with easy access to area shops and Routes 29, 309, 78, and PA Turnpike at Allentown. See the Seller's Property Disclosure Statement for a complete list of home improvements and upgrades.
