The main level offers a bright sun porch, generously sized living and dining rooms, and a roomy kitchen with a separate breakfast nook.

Commuters will appreciate the convenient access to the Lehigh Valley, making trips toward Allentown, Bethlehem, and surrounding employment centers an easy part of the daily routine. When it's time to get outdoors, Blue Mountain Resort and Beltzville State Park are also within easy reach, offering year-round opportunities for recreation and adventure.
