543 Chestnut Street **Live in One & Rent the Other in the Heart of Emmaus!** Welcome to 543 Chestnut Street, a unique and charming property offering the flexibility of **two separate detached homes on one property**-all within easy walking distance of the Emmaus Triangle, farmers market, shops, restaurants, and the vibrant downtown Emmaus scene. The main residence is a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom left side of a twin filled with original character and thoughtfully updated over the years. Step inside through the stunning double front doors and you'll find newly installed LVP wood-look floors, a classic handrail, and the charm of an older Emmaus home combined with modern conveniences. The flexible floor plan includes a versatile room that can be used as a home office, dressing room, nursery, sitting room, or private extension of the primary bedroom. Also a recently renovated bathroom, convenient first-floor laundry, energy efficient natural gas heat, and gas cooking. Replacement windows add to the home's comfort and efficiency. Outside, enjoy the welcoming front porch, back patio, and yard-perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Off-street and on-street parking provide additional convenience. At the rear of the property is a **separate carriage house**, offering another private living space and an exciting range of possibilities. The carriage house features its own amenities, including a second-floor mini-split installed in 2019, newer roof, dishwasher, and a new hot water heater in 2026. The separate building creates the flexibility to **live in one and rent the other**, use the second space for extended family or guests, or simply enjoy the versatility that this unique property provides. Major improvements include a **new HVAC system in the main house installed in May 2026**, newly installed mini-splits in the carriage house, roofs replaced in 2021, extensive renovation of the main house in 2020. Vinyl windows, and numerous newer appliances. Best of all, you're not just buying a home-you're gaining the flexibility to create a living arrangement that works for you, with the potential for the second unit to help offset the cost of homeownership. **Two buildings. Endless possibilities. A walkable Emmaus location. Come see how 543 Chestnut Street could work for you!**
