About This Home
As of November 2017Welcome home to this well maintained Colonial in the Brandywine Heights School District. The first thing you'll notice is the mature landscaping and pride of ownership on the outside. The second thing you'll notice is the rolling fields as far as you can see. Inside, this home boasts 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, first floor laundry, a formal dining room, a formal living room and a family room with a beautiful brick fireplace to keep you warm and toasty over the cooler months. There is plenty of storage in the many over sized closets and above the garage. The kitchen was just remodeled with solid cherry cabinets, granite counters and cherry hardwood flooring. This home is a stone's throw to Lehigh County and close to I-78 and all major roadways.
