One Level Living in Upper Macungie Township can be yours! The location of this handsome RANCH cannot be beat, and neither can its curb appeal w/ a stone facade. Sturdily built in 1967, it offers 3 bdrms, 2 full baths, and an abundance of closets & storage in the bdrms, hallways, & entry. The stone wall, w/ gas fireplace in the living room, is simply stunning. The room is expansive, yet cozy. The dining room boasts refinished original hardwood flrs & a slider opening to the rear yard. The kitchen is spacious, featuring plenty of cabinets & counters, a pantry, new recessed lights (replaced dated fluorescents), & a few brand new SS appliances (dishwasher & stove). Add'l new decor throughout the house includes the dining room chandelier, the bdrm ceiling fans, door knobs & locks, and the storm/screen door. The convenient laundry/mudroom is just off the kitchen & leads to a sweet screened three season rear porch. That porch leads to the oversized two car garage w/ new openers. The rear yard is flat & a manageable size for playing, entertaining, gardening; the front yard has the most wonderful tree, just waiting for a swing! To finish off the property, the huge basement has a Bilco door to access outside; additionally, there are large closets & abundant shelving. This lower level is unfinished, offering the new owner the opportunity to finish it to increase livable space or simply keep it as-is for storage & a future workshop. Note, water softener is brand new too. Book a showing!
