Description
Welcome to 725 McLain Street, a 2BR bungalow gem that perfectly balances the energy of city living with the serenity of a nature retreat. Plus, your back gate opens directly into Emerald View Park! Step inside to find a thoughtfully designed floor plan where comfort meets modern efficiency. Enjoy a sleek updated kitchen that flows effortlessly into an open living and dining area—ideal for hosting intimate dinners or relaxing after a long day. The true hallmark of this property is its mostly one-floor living.

This layout makes the home an exceptional choice for those seeking a low-maintenance primary residence or a high-demand long term or "vacation-style" rental. Besides being able to enjoy direct access to the park’s trails and scenic overlooks, the fully-fenced yard provides boxed gardens for the urban gardener, a fire pit area and still plenty of room for entertaining or your pets to play. And forget about the stress of finding parking on a city street. This listing includes a 2nd lot (726 McLain Street), which is used for coveted 2-car off-street parking! Located just blocks from Grandview Elementary School and its playground, you are also minutes away from the thriving Allentown business district. Explore a diverse array of local favorite hilltop eateries, entertainment venues, and boutiques.
