    Highest and Best Deadline Monday, 5/25/2026 at 9am. Situated in the heart of Emmaus, 178 W. Berger Street offers a rare blend of timeless character, extensive modern updates, and everyday convenience within one of the Lehigh Valley’s most desirable communities. Completely refreshed from floor to ceiling, this move-in-ready home features fresh interior and exterior paint, updated flooring throughout, modern lighting and ceiling fans, and thoughtfully renovated living spaces designed for both comfort and functionality. From the moment you arrive, the welcoming front porch and freshly updated exterior create an inviting first impression that perfectly complements the charm and walkability of the neighborhood. Inside, natural light fills the spacious family and dining room combination, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The beautifully updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, modern cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and granite countertops, offering a stylish yet functional gathering space. Two first-floor bedrooms—or the flexibility of a bedroom and home office—are complemented by a tastefully updated full bath. Upstairs, an additional lounge area, office, or flex space provides versatility before leading into the third bedroom, maximizing comfort and functionality. The partially finished basement expands the living space further with luxury vinyl flooring, a convenient half bath, generous storage, and a charming barn door separating the refinished area from the original basement space. One of the home’s standout features is the expansive covered back porch overlooking the backyard—an ideal extension of the living space perfect for outdoor dining, remote work, relaxing with a hammock or patio furniture, or gathering with friends and family rain or shine. Additional conveniences include a one-car garage, private parking pad for valuable off-street parking, and a storage shed for added flexibility. Located just blocks from Lincoln Elementary School, moments from downtown Emmaus, and minutes to major commuter routes, shopping, dining, and the nearby Lehigh Parkway, this home offers a lifestyle centered around convenience, connectivity, and community while still enjoying the peaceful setting of a quiet neighborhood. (Additional bonuses: Roof installed 2023, All new windows installed between 2023-2026, Craft/work room in basement plus additional storage space. Yard features perimeter fencing with access opening at driveway.)
