Property Description
Welcome home to this spacious, meticulously maintained, move-in ready 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in a FANTASTIC Palmerton location directly across from SS Palmer Elementary School and Palmerton Borough Park! The main level offers a bright sun porch, generously sized living and dining rooms, and a roomy kitchen with a separate breakfast nook. A recently installed mini-split in the dining room provides added comfort, while convenient first-floor laundry and a half bath make everyday living a little easier. Just off the kitchen, step onto the relaxing screened porch with backyard access—an inviting spot to unwind and enjoy the warmer months. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath. The rear bedroom opens to a unique enclosed bonus space with a window, offering plenty of possibilities as a walk-in closet, home office nook, cozy sitting area, or additional storage. An unfinished third-floor attic provides even more storage, while the detached 1-car garage adds off-street parking and additional utility. The location ties it all together. Enjoy Palmerton Borough Park right across the street, along with easy access to local shops, eateries, and downtown amenities. 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. Electric water heater installed in 2022. With generous room sizes, flexible spaces, hardwood flooring in several rooms, a relaxing screened porch, garage, ample storage, and a location that combines small-town convenience with access to the Lehigh Valley and the area's outdoor attractions, this home has plenty to offer its next owner.
