Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This move-in ready semi-detached home offers a classic full brick-front exterior and low-maintenance laminate flooring throughout much of the living space. The main level includes a bright family room with a large window, a formal dining room for gatherings, and a cozy kitchen with tile flooring, white appliances, and a mosaic tile backsplash. A step-down mudroom provides convenient access to the backyard.

Upstairs, the layout includes a finished loft/bedroom area that connects to an additional bedroom and a full bath featuring wainscoting, a tub/shower combination, and a linen closet. The third-floor bedroom includes a vaulted ceiling and a wood-paneled accent wall, creating a distinct upper retreat. A storage shed in the rear adds extra space for outdoor needs. The property is located in Allentown City, in Lehigh County, within zoning R-Mh-Medium High Density, with convenient access to major highways US-22 and PA-145 and nearby destinations including Lehigh Valley Grand Prix, the Allentown Farmers Market, and the Allentown Art Museum.

For tenants or owner-occupants seeking a ready-to-live-in layout, the home’s functional flow from dining to kitchen and the addition of a mudroom to the backyard can support everyday use, while the loft/bedroom configuration and multiple full bath spaces help accommodate flexible living arrangements. The rear storage shed is also practical for seasonal items and general upkeep.
