Showings begin at Open House on Sunday 8/9 from 1-3 PM. Charming, quaint Quakake is the perfect village for this lovely home. Situated on 1.6 acres, it offers an ideal balance of community and seclusion, with Route 309 a convenient short drive away. The front yard is bordered by a fence original to the home, immediately conjuring a country feeling, amplified by the lovely covered front porch, a staple for rustic, farmhouse charm. Entering, the sprawling living room flows effortlessly into the home’s equally spacious eat-in kitchen, offering a modern open-concept floorplan augmented with numerous attractive updates. The living room offers original hardwood flooring beneath recessed lighting and abundant space to gather and entertain. The kitchen space boasts a bank of original cabinetry aro und the sink, with beautiful, updated stone counters and ceramic tile backsplash, an over-sink window taking in the side yard. Surrounding a center island, two new cabinet and workspace arrays make this kitchen a chef’s dream and a lovely place to gather. The dining area, part of the kitchen, offers room for a large table and makes for a wonderful way to keep everyone together. To the rear, a flexible room offers main level laundry, currently space for a home gym, and a private, new half bath! The second floor begins with new flooring in the hall leading to two well sized bedrooms and a beautiful, fully updated bath. The bathroom double vanity is as attractive as it is functional, and the ceramic tile shower surround a lovely touch! Spanning the third floor is a private oasis of a Primary Bedroom. Tucked into the ample roofline, dormers offer an added sense of space; this bedroom is spacious and soothing, with practical touches in recessed lighting and double closets. Beyond the home, the 1.6-acre lot can be truly enjoyed from the side porch, just off the kitchen, which offers the opportunity for a lovely out-door living room. A flat yard offers tremendous potential for recreation and space for a garden. The carport and shed pair beautifully with a large barn for abundant space to store your outdoor tools! While the home sits in a lovely village, it offers an array of shopping and dining options a short drive away at the Wal-Mart Shopping Plaza. Route 309 also offers easy access to both Tamaqua and Hazleton, as well as Interstate 81! While the home’s rural setting is marvelous, further outdoor adventure can be found at nearby Tuscarora and Locust Lake State Parks, while a short trip can also bring you to charming Jim Thopre, a gateway to the beautiful Pocono Mountains! Further bonus, Tamaqua School District graduates qualify for the two-year LCCC Scholarship Program! For classic charm, thoughtful updates, and sumptuous space, this property is unparalleled.
