This Colonial in the Southern Lehigh School District offers a versatile floor plan designed to adapt to a wide range of living styles. Situated on an expansive lot of nearly half an acre, the property serves as a private retreat featuring a flowing natural stream and a scenic backyard. With a neutral color palette throughout, the home provides a functional and refreshed interior that is ready for immediate move-in.
The journey begins at the covered front Trex porch, which leads into a Foyer that opens directly into the spacious Living Room. This front-facing gathering area provides a comfortable introduction to the home and serves as a bright, welcoming space for daily life.
The updated Kitchen is a central highlight, featuring stainless steel appliances and a classic tile backsplash. The layout includes wide openings to both the Living Room and Dining Room to ensure an easy flow for entertaining. A window-lined eat-in area anchors the space, offering peaceful views of the rear grounds and the stream while you enjoy your morning coffee.
Conveniently located off the one side of the Kitchen is a flexible room that can easily transition between a Formal Dining Room or a cozy Sitting Room and on the other side, a large, window-lined Family Room. This expansive space not only frames views of the private backyard but also provides direct access to the paver patio for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The main floor is designed for accessibility, featuring a Large Main Bedroom and a second well-sized Bedroom. These rooms share a fully updated Full Bathroom on the first level. Upstairs, the second floor offers two additional private quarters, including a third large Bedroom with private access to another updated Full Bathroom and a fourth Bedroom suited for a home office or guest room.
The lower level significantly expands the usable space with a fully finished room currently utilized as a Gym/Recreation Room. This level also houses a dedicated Laundry area, generous extra storage, and internal access to the 1-car Garage.
Outside, the property offers your own piece of nature with the stream and nearly half an acre of open space, all while being located just minutes away from local schools, shopping, and major commuter routes.
