Tucked on a private, tree-lined lot, this classic three-bedroom, two-bath Dutch Colonial pairs stone-and-brick charm with easy, light-filled living spaces that are hard to find. Set well back from the road on .58 acres of lawn and mature plantings, the home welcomes you through a stone gable entry and unfolds into rooms full of texture and warmth. The renovated white kitchen is the heart of the home. A granite-topped center island with seating, Bosch stainless steel appliances, open shelving and pendant lighting sit beneath recessed lights and above rich hardwood floors. The kitchen opens to a cozy keeping room with a ceiling fan and wide windows, an inviting spot for morning coffee or after-dinner conversation, and flows into the dining room, where a full wall of exposed brick frames a wood-burning fireplace with a painted mantel and brass chandelier. Down a few steps, the vaulted family room is the showpiece. Soaring ceilings with exposed timber trusses and twin skylights rise above a beautiful floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a natural gathering place for holidays and family celebrations with room for everyone to settle in. Radiant heat beneath the tile floors keeps the space comfortable through the coldest months, while French doors to the outdoors and a sunny sitting alcove, ideal as a reading nook or home office, complete the room. The brick-walled sunroom is wrapped in wood-trimmed windows on three sides beneath a skylit cathedral ceiling, with slate-look tile floors. This three-season retreat overlooks the gardens and connects to the rear patio. A convenient laundry room with a skylight is close at hand. The spacious primary bedroom offers hardwood floors, multiple exposures and a dressing area with built-in shelving. Two additional bedrooms, one currently used as a home office, also feature hardwood floors. Both full baths have been updated with wainscoting, flooring, and crisp white vanities. The finished lower level adds flexible living space with tile floors, a stone-walled wood stove room, a workshop and generous storage. Outside, a rear deck, brick paver patio and stone-edged garden bed overlook a deep, level back yard bordered by mature trees, with a detached shed for garden and outdoor gear. The setting feels like the country, yet you're in the Salisbury Township School District, minutes from Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest, the Lehigh Parkway and South Mountain trails, with quick access to I-78, Route 309 and downtown Allentown and Bethlehem. A home with real character, thoughtfully cared for and ready for its next chapter.
