About This Home

As of February 2020

Welcome to 2947 Fairfield Drive, a quality-built ranch located in the desirable Meadowbrook subdivision of Western Salisbury. Beautiful mature landscaping and newly planted perennials on this .36 acre lot sets the stage for this Ashbrook-built home. From the hardwood floors, to the brick wall in the family room, to the pocket doors to the screened-in porch, this home is loaded with charm and character. The Brader kitchen, complete with granite tops, stainless steel appliances, and recently painted wood cabinets is stunning. The basement is partially finished and could work well for extended family quarters, home office and/or gym. Other recent updates include fenced yard, new electrical panel, new heat pump, new hot water heater, new garage door openers, updated flooring, remodeled hall bathroom and more. Location is paramount with both Lindberg park and the Lehigh Parkway just a block away, and an easy commute to downtown Allentown,I-78 and more.
