Want a ranch house in the country yet close to amenities? Then look no further than this agent owned 3br 2ba ranch home on just about an acre surrounded by farm fields! A 15-minute drive or less to most amenities. See the sunrise from your bedroom window or sunroom and sunsets from the living room, sunroom or kitchen. Like to garden? Enjoy the 4 raised beds and expansive flower beds. (No spray for years for the organic gardener) Hop in the 30 ft above ground pool on these hot summer days. Then light a fire in the firepit and roast some marshmallows to make s'mores. 3 decks for relaxing and entertaining. And the views from every angle of the house is sigh worthy. The attached oversized and insulated 2 car garage is great for staying out of the weather or tinkering. It also has its own attic. Inside the sunroom/family room has wood plank ceiling that peaks at 13ft. Great for the extra-large Christmas tree if you choose. Large eat in kitchen with custom cabinets, 2 lazy susans, lots of counter space and a jenn air range to grill indoors all year long! Look at the sunset from the bay window in the living room or go out and sit on the front porch. Tub/shower in the common bathroom for those times you want a nice long bath. Plenty of storage in there too to keep everything tidy. Bedroom on the left offers views of the sunrise and a full wall walk in closet with some shelving. The master bedroom across from it has a master bath for your privacy, 2 closets and views of the sunrise. It easily fits a king size bed. Bedroom 3, currently used as an office, has beautiful wood planked ceiling and closet area. The main floor laundry room is wonderful with its sink, cabinets, shelving, task lighting and the HUGE closet/pantry as it's off the kitchen. Stay cool with the central air or open the windows for the almost constant breeze. Don't let the coal furnace deter you. With its worm gear to pull the coal from the coal room, there's no shoveling of coal daily. You can enjoy the warm, cheap (approx $1500 per season) heat that it offers. The full attic and basement plus the shed add to the abundance of storage. With all of this, why would you want to delay making this house your home sweet home? Call for a showing today! Owner is a licensed realtor.

A
Agricultural District
Agricultural land is considered a special non-replaceable resource within the Township which, if lost, is not reclaimable once developed. Agricultural activities are an integral part of the culture and economy of Lykens Township and are therefore deserving of preservation. The Agricultural District is established to permit, protect, and encourage the continued use of land for agricultural purposes. This district is applied to those areas having productive soils, agriculture security protection, and predominantly agricultural uses as delineated in the Lykens Township Comprehensive Plan. The regulatory mechanisms for the Agricultural District are designed to: protect and stabilize the essential characteristics of agricultural areas; minimize conflicts resulting from the encroachment and mixing of residential and other incompatible uses that may be detrimental to agricultural enterprises; limit development that may require public facilities and roads in excess of those needed for agricultural purposes; and maintaining agricultural land parcels and farms at sizes which will permit efficient farm operation.
