About this home

Welcome to 1551 Duxbury Court, a move-in-ready classic colonial nestled on a quiet, corner of a cul-de-sac street. Offering over 3,000 square feet of recently updated living space, this home perfectly balances traditional character with a layout designed for modern ease. A welcoming foyer opens into a sun-filled living room anchored by an elegant faux fireplace, flowing seamlessly into a spacious formal dining room—ideal for hosting. New manufactured wood floors extend throughout both the first and second levels, providing warmth and a cohesive aesthetic. The centerpiece of this residence is the remodeled eat-in kitchen. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the high-end ILVE Italian double gas oven, granite countertops, and striking Calacatta Viola porcelain countertops. With a large peninsula, ample space for a full-size table and bow windows that overlook the pool with well manicured landscaping, this kitchen truly serves as the home’s hub. It overlooks a spacious family/tv room featuring a cozy gas fireplace, recessed lighting and lots of room for seating. This leads directly to an enclosed porch for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A rare find, all five bedrooms are conveniently located on the same level. The fifth bedroom can be easily reverted to an office if needed. The oversized primary suite serves as a comfortable retreat with one walk-in closet, another generous closet and a spacious bath. Four additional bedrooms offer generous natural light and closet space, served by a well-appointed hall bath and linen closet. The beautifully finished lower level features new carpeting, offering flexible space for a home gym, office, guest accommodations or media room alongside ample storage. Step outside to a backyard paradise featuring a paved patio, deck, and a fully fenced pool area—your own private oasis. Blending timeless charm with upscale finishes in top-rated Parkland school district, the work has already been done for you. Simply move in and enjoy! A new roof completes the extensive list of improvements.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $337,700 — well below the ~$453,492 its asking price implies at Lehigh County's common level ratio (49.4%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $2,510/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($337,700, 2013 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only — verify with Lehigh County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.
