HIGHEST AND BEST TUESDAY MARCH 3RD AT 6 PM....................................Tucked away on a scenic 1-acre lot in desirable part of Bethlehem , this charming home offers the rare combination of privacy, nature, and convenience. The highlight of the property is the Monocacy Creek gently flowing through the backyard, creating a peaceful setting perfect for relaxing, entertaining, fishing, or simply enjoying the view year-round. Mature trees and open green space provide a park-like feel that is hard to find in the Lehigh Valley. Sitting benches are located along the creek along with trout fishing and a fishing club that abuts the property.
Inside, the home offers comfortable living spaces and great natural light provided by the large picture window overlooking the back yard. The home has three beautiful bedrooms all with hardwood flooring. The lower level has a beautiful wood extended bar,
while the expansive outdoor area gives you room for gatherings, gardening, recreation, or future possibilities. Despite its quiet setting, the location is incredibly convenient — just minutes to Routes 33, 22, and I-78 for easy commuting, and close to shopping, dining, parks, and historic downtown Bethlehem.
If you’ve been waiting for a property that feels like a retreat but keeps you close to everything, this is a rare opportunity to own a creek-side acre in one of Bethlehem’s most accessible locations.
