About This Home
As of January 2025Discover this unique 3-bedroom home on a spacious quarter-acre lot, designed to suit a variety of lifestyles. The covered 24x8 porch and large, mostly fenced backyard are perfect for entertaining, gardening, or relaxing. Chefs will love the well illuminated kitchen with granite countertops and a large pantry. Gardeners will appreciate the raised bed garden areas and in-garden water supply.
Pet owners will value the fenced pen with pet-door access, while hobbyists will enjoy the insulated shed with heat, a 60A subpanel, and multiple 110/220V outlets. Inside, natural knotty pine and oak floors add charm, with a herringbone oak floor in the dining room. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and adjacent laundry, while the other bedrooms are spacious with well-lit closets. With its own stair access, consider finishing the attic for added living space.
Convenience is unmatched—just steps from a park and Wawa, with Hamilton Crossings, Costco, Urgent Care, and a myriad of restaurants less than a mile away. The incredible Dorney Park and Wild Water Kingdom, a large multiplex theatre, the Home Depot, and many major retailers and restaurant chains are all within 2-3 miles. Major employers, including the Lehigh Valley Hospital, Air Products, Mack Trucks and Uline, are all within ten minutes’ drive. Commuting is a breeze with easy access to Rt. 309, I-78, the PA Turnpike, and bus services to NYC, NJ & Newark airport.
