Listing description

**Seller Assist Offered** Welcome to 1403 Pennsylvania Avenue, a fully renovated twin home located in the highly sought-after East Penn School District. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone looking for a peaceful setting with room to expand. Situated on the outskirts of the borough, this property offers the best of both worlds—just minutes from downtown Emmaus and the beloved Emmaus Community Park, yet it feels like a private escape far from the hustle and bustle. The true standout feature is the nearly half-acre lot with direct frontage along Leibert Creek. The rear of the property is just begging to be transformed into your own private retreat—picture a fire pit, seating area, or outdoor gathering spot nestled along the creek, perfect for quiet mornings fishing or entertaining by the water. Whether you're dreaming of a detached garage, pole barn, or future home addition, the potential here is unmatched. Inside, the home has been completely updated, featuring a brand-new roof, a new high-efficiency gas furnace, all-new flooring and fresh paint, and a modern kitchen with new cabinets, Quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances including an electric range, microwave, and dishwasher. Recessed lighting brightens the entire first floor, creating a clean and contemporary feel throughout. With 931 square feet of living space, the layout includes two bedrooms, with one serving as a walk-through to the other—ideal for a young child’s room, home office, or guest space. This home combines modern upgrades, a prime school district, and an incredibly unique outdoor setting that offers both beauty and long-term flexibility. Don’t miss your chance to own this move-in ready gem in a quiet yet convenient Emmaus location.

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 2026 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.
