Country Charm on Two Acres, With a Stream, a Pond, and Room to Grow

A babbling stream along a quiet country lane sets the tone for this ranch home and two parcel property. From the front window, the view stretches across the yard to a wooded slope, a first hint of the rural calm that runs through the whole place.

A Warm, Welcoming Interior

The spacious living room is bright and inviting, opening into a kitchen and dining area finished in warm knotty pine paneling and cabinetry. In the dining room, a coat closet and pantry closet flank built in drawers and a glass door cabinet, while a peninsula gently separates the kitchen, which offers generous cabinetry and counter space for everyday cooking.

Bedrooms Built for Real Life

Three well sized bedrooms each include their own built ins: bookshelves in two, and a corner desk in the third. A half bath pairs with a full bath featuring a large linen closet with a three tiered Lazy Susan. Much of the main level still has its original hardwood flooring, and the home now benefits from central AC, with a new unit installed in May 2025.

Garage, Storage, and Year Round Function

The garage offers two front facing doors with electric openers, a workshop area with ample storage, and the home's laundry facility. Insulation and a radiator keep this space usable in every season. Both the main home and garage include pull down attic access for even more storage, and the insulated basement adds further space, along with a new oil tank and furnace, installed March 2026.

Outdoor Space and a Second Parcel

The backyard includes a large storage shed with multiple covered, open air storage spaces attached. The adjoining lot, included in this sale, adds a nearly 550 square foot outbuilding with its own power, well, and septic. Once a garage, it was previously converted into living space with a bathroom, potential kitchenette, and a coal stove for heat. Just behind it, across the stream, a lovely pond completes the picture of rural charm.

Location

Just a short distance to Route 309, this home puts you close to downtown Tamaqua, charming Jim Thorpe, endless outdoor adventure, and the greater Lehigh Valley. It's also located in the Tamaqua School District, where graduates are eligible for the two year LCCC Scholarship Program.

The Bottom Line

A home full of potential, with important updates already in place, including a 2016 roof, on two acres complete with outbuildings and abundant rural charm, all in an ideal location. Schedule your visit today.
