Listing description

Easy To Show! Ready for immediate possession! 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. You will appreciate the high-end 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.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($337,700, 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.
