About this home

Looking for quiet and privacy? You will find it right here on Chestnut Hill Rd. Tucked away on a wooded lot on a quiet road just outside of Emmaus. As you enter the home you get the original feel of the cabin it once was with a huge eat-in kitchen, half bath and spacious family room with wood stove. Additions have been made to the home making it roomy and unique. There is a downstairs master bedroom with full bath as well as an office. Another full living room can be found upstairs as well as another possible master bedroom ensuite. Walk in closets with solid wood shelving provide lots of storage. Add another bedroom and full bath on top of that. Finish with a small bedroom/playroom. Outside a covered porch runs the length of the house-perfect for outdoor dinners. Two storage sheds. An oversized driveway and a wooded lot will take you away from the craziness of the world! Yet it is located close to major highways. With a bit of TLC, you can make this unique home your own little paradise!
