Property Description

Welcome to 1122 Americus Avenue! This brick Cape Cod in the Salisbury School District offers three bedrooms, one and a half baths, and an attached two-car garage on a flat 0.36-acre lot. Curb appeal starts at the street with a manicured front lawn, mature plantings, a long driveway, and a welcoming brick facade with black shutters. The home sits comfortably on a quiet stretch of mid-century houses and feels settled the moment you pull in. Inside, original hardwood floors run through the living and dining rooms and give the main level a warm, continuous feel. The living room is anchored by a fireplace and a wide picture window that floods the space with natural light, then opens through an arched doorway into the formal dining room. It is an easy layout for everyday living and for hosting, with enough room to gather without feeling cut off from the rest of the house. The eat-in kitchen offers oak cabinetry, solid-surface counters, a tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in breakfast nook. There is a practical work triangle, extra cabinet space, and a coffee-bar corner that makes morning routines simple. The enclosed breezeway is the surprise of the home. Converted into a bright family room and bonus living area, it features painted brick, glass-block detail, ceiling fans, and sliding glass doors that walk out to the patio. This is the room that stretches the square footage and changes how the house lives. Use it as a second living room, home office, playroom, or year-round hangout. Because it connects the garage side of the house to the backyard, it also works as the everyday drop zone after school, after work, or after a trip to the store. Two bedrooms sit on the main level, including a comfortable primary with a ceiling fan and closet. Having bedrooms on the first floor keeps daily life easy and gives buyers the one-level option they look for in a Cape. Upstairs, a spacious Cape-style third bedroom under the roofline includes a skylight and enough length for flexible sleeping or loft-style living, plus extra attic storage. That upper level is a natural fit for kids, guests, or anyone who wants a quieter space of their own. A full bath and a half bath serve the first floor, so the main living areas stay convenient without sending everyone upstairs. Outside, a six-foot privacy fence wraps a level backyard with a patio made for grilling and gatherings. The yard is flat, usable, and private enough for kids, pets, and weekend cookouts. The attached two-car garage adds parking and storage and keeps the driveway from filling up. Together, the garage, breezeway, and fenced patio give this Cape more function than the street view first suggests. This quiet West Allentown / Salisbury street of mid-century homes puts you minutes from everyday life. Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest is under a mile, which matters for healthcare workers and anyone who wants a short hop to the medical campus. South Mall and the Lehigh Street corridor cover groceries, restaurants, and shopping. Lindberg Park is nearby for playgrounds and township rec.
