Listing description

Charming historical gem in Hellertown’s coveted Mountainview community, where timeless character, mature trees and hidden architectural surprises create a home straight from the pages of a storybook. Welcome to 974 Juniper Road, an authenticated 1943 Sears Catalog Home and one of only 61 original Sears models built in the neighborhood. Expanded beyond the traditional Cape Cod layout, this four-bedroom immaculate home blends historic charm with generous living space. Original hardwood floors, classic built-ins, a formal dining room with corner cabinets and a stunning oversized sun-filled living room addition create the perfect balance of character and comfort. Upstairs, clever built-in furniture, hidden storage and an original 1943 medicine cabinet preserve the home’s remarkable craftsmanship. The bright eat-in kitchen features updated appliances, a pantry and crisp white cabinetry. The home also offers efficient natural gas heat, central air conditioning, and public water and sewer. Many improvements include a new driveway apron and sidewalk scheduled for completion in 2026, an electrical service panel (2024), roof, siding, gutters, gutter guards, first floor windows, bilco door (all 2012) as well as additional Pella replacement windows and much more. Outside, enjoy a private storybook retreat framed by mature trees and a historic stone fireplace surrounded by a towering Japanese Cedar and a majestic Redwood—an unforgettable setting for relaxing or entertaining. Ideally located within walking distance of Dimmick Park, the community pool, library and the Saucon Valley School campus, with the Saucon Rail Trail, Steel Club and vibrant downtown Hellertown just minutes away. An unbeatable location for commuters, offering quick access to I-78, major highways, and nearby bus service to NYC, NY and Philadelphia. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own one of the area’s most distinctive historic homes.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($53,000, 1995 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 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Northampton 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.
