Open House Saturday, 7/25 12:00 -1:30 at 122 N 7th Street which is along one of Emmaus’s most walkable, tree lined streets stands a beautifully updated townhome that pairs low maintenance living with genuine small town character. A tastefully landscaped, inviting Entry sets the tone before you even step inside, softening the approach along this established block. Step inside and that same sense of care continues throughout: fresh paint, upgraded lighting fixtures, and upgraded flooring carry a polished, cohesive feel from room to room, presenting a true move in ready canvas just steps from the shops and restaurants of Main Street. The Living Room opens wide and bright, running the full width of the home. Upgraded lighting and flooring set an elevated, welcoming tone that carries seamlessly into the rooms beyond. From there, the space flows naturally into the Kitchen and Dining area, where generous counter space, ample cabinetry, and upgraded lighting overhead make room for both quiet weeknights and easy entertaining, while a comfortable Dining area offers a natural gathering point for morning coffee or a shared meal at the end of the day. A convenient Half Bath rounds out the lower level, a valuable convenience for daily life and for guests. Upstairs, three well proportioned Bedrooms continue the home’s cohesive finishes, each offering closet storage and natural light, with enough flexibility to serve as a primary retreat, a guest room, or a home office as life requires. A spacious full hallway Bath completes the second floor, finished to match the tone of the rest of the home. Below, a finished Lower Level extends the living space further still, offering meaningful bonus square footage. Suited equally to a Family Room, a home gym, or a private office, it lends the home a versatility that evolves alongside its next owner.*Bonus, electric baseboard heating as a back up! Outside, a rear Deck offers a spot to relax or entertain, extending the home’s living space into the open air. Alongside it, a small rear yard and off street parking sit side by side, a practical and convenient combination for this part of Emmaus. Set in the heart of Emmaus, the location offers effortless access to the Triangle, the borough’s beloved downtown hub of shops, restaurants, and the seasonal farmers market, along with Community Park, only a few steps to the famous Halloween parade route and the South Mountain trails. From here, the commute to Allentown and the greater Lehigh Valley is equally straightforward via Route 29, Lehigh Street, and Interstate 78.
