Description

Located on a quiet street, this updated 1850s farmhouse offers a peaceful setting within the Emmaus Borough and the highly desirable East Penn School District. This home retains its authentic 19th-century footprint and character. Buyers who appreciate historic homes will note the original exposed beams, a traditional root cellar, lower ceilings, and the natural quirks of an 1850 build, including floors and doorframes that are not perfectly square. The home also features the original single-pane windows,...Located on a quiet street, this updated 1850s farmhouse offers a peaceful setting within the Emmaus Borough and the highly desirable East Penn School District. This home retains its authentic 19th-century footprint and character. Buyers who appreciate historic homes will note the original exposed beams, a traditional root cellar, lower ceilings, and the natural quirks of an 1850 build, including floors and doorframes that are not perfectly square. The home also features the original single-pane windows, and in keeping with the era's architecture, two of the three bedrooms do not have built-in closets. These historic details are paired with comprehensive modern upgrades. The main floor offers new flooring, a new half bath, a dedicated laundry room, and a completely remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and brand-new stainless steel appliances. The second floor provides three bedrooms with fresh carpet and a newly renovated full bathroom featuring a modern stand-up shower. Major systems have been fully addressed for peace of mind, featuring updated electric and plumbing, supported by well water and public sewer. Outside, the property delivers excellent curb appeal with brand-new stucco, patterned sidewalks, and a freshly poured back patio. The 1/4-acre lot provides plenty of outdoor space for a garden or fire pit.
