Tucked away on a quiet street in Allentown just a few blocks from Emmaus, this well-maintained split foyer home offers the perfect blend of suburban peace and city convenience. Enter inside to the main level, where large windows flood the space with natural light. The open-concept living and dining areas create a warm, inviting atmosphere that flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which features abundant cabinet and counter space, a pantry, and a breakfast bar with seating. Down the hall, three generously sized bedrooms share a full bathroom. The walk-out lower level boasts a spacious rec room with a large window overlooking the covered back patio, plus a built-in bar tucked into the corner—ideal for entertaining. This level also includes a half bath, a fourth bedroom, a dedicated laundry room, and access to the attached 1-car garage. Two separate doors lead to the covered patio and flat backyard, complete with a storage shed. Recent updates include fresh exterior paint, repointed bricks, and resurfaced front steps and walkway. Located just 1.5 blocks from Emmaus Ave at the base of South Mountain, this home offers easy access to hiking trails and parks such as Ithaca Park & Wilderness Trail and the Wildlands Conservancy, as well as shopping, restaurants, public transit, gas stations, and I-78. This is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy both nature and convenience in a great location.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
