About this home
Tucked away in a quaint corner of Emmaus, this home is ready for someone to continue the vision and imagination. Step inside to discover a newly remodeled living room featuring freshly refinished, stunning original pine floors that showcase the character of the home, along with a full modern bath with a laundry hookup for everyday convenience. The spacious kitchen is fully functional as is, while also offering an exciting opportunity to bring it up to date and make it your own. Upstairs, you'll find the bedrooms with wood flooring beneath the carpet, ready to be brought back to life and restored to their former charm, just like the living room. A retro primary bath with an antique cast iron tub, adds a touch of nostalgia and character, while the third-floor heated attic provides a versatile bonus space, perfect for a potential fourth bedroom, home office, studio, or additional living space.
Step outback and discover a charming, customized flower and vegetable garden that feels like something out of a fairy tale, it was 1 of the 8 properties featured in the Emmaus Garden Tour. The garden features mostly perennials, allowing you to enjoy its beauty and character year after year. A dedicated butterfly habitat adds even more magic to the space, creating a welcoming environment for swallowtails, monarchs, and other beautiful pollinators to flutter throughout the garden. Following the garden is a craftsman's workshop that offers a great space to create, tinker, and bring projects to life and the end of the property offers two off-street parking spaces for everyday convenience. After a long day in the garden or workshop, enter through the basement and rinse off in the convenient “Pittsburgh bathroom” a practical little feature that adds convenience while helping keep the main living spaces clean. From the front porch, sit back and enjoy hummingbirds visiting the honeysuckle throughout the summer before walking to Emmaus Farmers Market or any of the downtown amenities. This home has been priced to reflect its potential, offering an opportunity to build upon the updates already completed while restoring and transforming the spaces that remain. Full of original character, unique details, and untapped potential, this Emmaus home is ready for someone to continue its story and bring their own vision to life....
