Located on a quiet street, this renovated 1850s farmhouse offers a peaceful setting while remaining inside the Emmaus Borough and the highly desirable East Penn School District. The home pairs historic character—including original exposed beams and a unique root cellar—with comprehensive modern updates. The main floor features new flooring throughout, a new half bath, a dedicated laundry room, and a brand-new kitchen equipped with granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The second floor offers three bedrooms and a newly renovated full bathroom. Major systems have been fully addressed for true peace of mind, with updated electric and plumbing, supported by well water and public sewer. Outside, the property features excellent curb appeal with fresh stucco, patterned sidewalks, and a brand-new back patio. The 1/4-acre lot provides ample space for a flourishing garden, a play area, or a custom fire pit.
