About This Home

As of December 2024

This beautiful West End Allentown family home is updated with modern conveniences and many low maintenance features. The home is situated on a corner lot with mature trees and nice curb appeal. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 1958 sq feet of living area on the main and upper levels, plus a 4th non-conforming bedroom, full bath, and approximately 400 sq feet of finished living area occupy the lower level. The eat-in kitchen features custom cherry wood cabinets, granite countertops, a large island, and stainless-steel appliances. Display your cherished dishware on the floor-to-ceiling display shelves, or in the glass front corner cabinet. Italian porcelain floors and backsplash add an international flair. The formal living room features plentiful natural lighting, hardwood floors, crown molding, and modern lighting. The large family room also doubles as a dining room, and has vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and a fireplace. French doors open to the outdoor living area. An updated powder room rounds out the main floor. The upper floor sleeping area has three bedrooms, two with hardwood floors and one with carpet over original hardwood. All bedrooms have ample natural lighting with windows on two sides, and each has a ceiling fan. A full bath with tub and shower completes this level. A large newly redecorated 15 x 12’ room in the lower level is available as a 4th non-conforming bedroom, recreation room, secluded home office, or even a media room. An adjacent full bathroom with shower makes it a great place for your guests to enjoy privacy while relaxing without interrupting the daily family activities. A walk-in cedar closet provides secure storage for your seasonal clothing. An unfinished, combination laundry room, workshop, and utility room is conveniently located on this level. Moving to the outside, this family home features a two-car garage, separated from the house by a large breezeway. This lovely outdoor space features a beamed ceiling with four skylights, a bluestone floor, ceiling fan, and mood lighting. An adjacent patio with vine-covered pergola adds to the wonderful ambience of this outdoor space. Your year-around comfort is ensured by a two-zone heat pump system. Spring, summer and fall comfort is maintained by the modern, efficient heat pump, while during winter the natural gas furnace provides all the warmth your family needs with the lowest-cost heat source available. The recently installed metal roof is warrantied not to fade through 2065. The safety and convenience of this home is enhanced with automatic lighting in the living room, kitchen, breezeway and garage. The main floor thermostat, garage door, and air quality monitor can be connected to your Wi-Fi for easy tracking of status, even when you are not at home. This West End property was appraised in June at $420,000. Showing by appointment

¦ What I love about this home:

"This home is in a great neighborhood with mature trees and well kept yards. The neighbors are friendly and I love the new breezeway and back garden. There is plenty of room for a the family on three levels. The large multi-purpose family room and separate living room allow plenty of options for entertaining and family activities. Electrical and plumbing systems are updated and the brick exterior and modern metal roof will provide decades of nearly maintenance-free living.
