About This Home
As of March 2025One Level Living in Upper Macungie Township can be yours! The location of this handsome RANCH cannot be beat, and neither can its curb appeal w/ a stone facade. Sturdily built in 1967, it offers 3 bdrms, 2 full baths, and an abundance of closets & storage in the bdrms, hallways, & entry. The stone wall, w/ gas fireplace in the living room, is simply stunning. The room is expansive, yet cozy. The dining room boasts refinished original hardwood flrs & a slider opening to the rear yard. The kitchen is spacious, featuring plenty of cabinets & counters, a pantry, new recessed lights (replaced dated fluorescents), & a few brand new SS appliances (dishwasher & stove). Add'l new decor throughout the house includes the dining room chandelier, the bdrm ceiling fans, door knobs & locks, and the storm/screen door. The convenient laundry/mudroom is just off the kitchen & leads to a sweet screened three season rear porch. That porch leads to the oversized two car garage w/ new openers. The rear yard is flat & a manageable size for playing, entertaining, gardening; the front yard has the most wonderful tree, just waiting for a swing! To finish off the property, the huge basement has a Bilco door to access outside; additionally, there are large closets & abundant shelving. This lower level is unfinished, offering the new owner the opportunity to finish it to increase livable space or simply keep it as-is for storage & a future workshop. Note, water softener is brand new too. Book a showing!
