Listing description

Fully approved for a 6-dwelling configuration, this offering includes an existing, income-producing Cape Cod residence along with approvals in place for 5 new-construction townhomes. Plans and Elevations available on request. The townhome development consists of 1 triplex and 1 duplex, thoughtfully designed with driveway access, front parking, and pedestrian walkways leading to the rear of each home—an efficient and attractive layout for future residents. The existing detached Cape Cod features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths and presents immediate rental upside. Most recently leased in 2026 for $2,600/month, the home is currently vacant and ready for occupancy or repositioning. Additionally, two of the three garage bays are leased on a month-to-month basis, generating $350/month in supplemental income. Ideally situated in a highly accessible location, the property is within walking distance to major employers including Jefferson Health Network and St. Luke’s University Health Network facilities. Residents will also benefit from close proximity to highway access and the area’s charming Historic District, offering dining, shopping, and lifestyle amenities just minutes away.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $153,100, well below the ~$305,030 its asking price implies at Lehigh County's common level ratio (47.0%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $3,525/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($153,100, 2013 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Lehigh County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
