UPDATE: THERE IS A DEADLINE FOR ALL OFFERS OF WEDNESDAY EVENING. ALL OFFERS WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE SELLER ON THURSDAY MORNING.

Welcome to 242 Emerson Drive, nestled in the Joshua Knoll community in Lafayette Hill, Montgomery County. Situated in the sought after Colonial School district, within walking distance to Miles Park, this 2380 sq ft home is in one of the County's most desirable locations! An ample double driveway awaits as you arrive and walk up the recently redone paver walkway to the front door. Inside, on the right is the living room where you will experience tons of natural light entering through the wall of windows. To the left of the front door is the dining room with plenty of room for entertaining. Beyond the dining room, the convenient eat-in kitchen and laundry/mudroom awaits your plans and imagination. Off of the kitchen, step into the bright and spacious family room with recessed lighting and sliding glass door providing a view of the large Trex deck and backyard which leads into the expansive park-like setting beyond. Equally stunning view whether you are keeping warm inside or sitting on the deck enjoying your morning coffee. The first floor also boasts a first floor powder room.

Upstairs you will find 4 generous size bedrooms. The primary suite includes a spacious bedroom area, walk in closet, dressing area and updated bathroom. Three additional bedrooms and an additional full bathroom with tub, round out the second floor. What sets this home apart from other homes in this neighborhood is that it has a one car attached garage AND a full length unfinished basement with endless possibilities.

The owner has made many improvements over the decades of their ownership. The bathroom was updated approximately 2015. New hot water heater, HVAC and AC units were installed in 2022 approximately. The Trex decking was added on approximately 15 years ago. Schedule your showing today!
