About This Home

As of July 2023

This stunning, custom home, prominently positioned on three acres high atop Saddle Ridge, has breathtaking, long- distance views over Saucon Valley. The remarkable 6,900 square foot home has been totally transformed and expanded by the current owner, with magazine-ready details and impeccable taste. A 2021 infinity pool, patio and deck are enveloped by custom landscaping, manicured drive, perennial gardens and perfect privacy. The stately, stone exterior and custom design are beautiful first impressions of the quality echoed in the home’s interior. Designed by Chuck Harrison, the exterior is reminiscent of the European countryside, and offers a fabulous marriage of design and position.
Natural wood and stone finishes are used exclusively throughout with sumptuous floors of wood, granite, marble and tile. A grand foyer, with an elegantly turned staircase, opens to dining and living rooms, with detailed custom woodwork and fun surprises at every turn. The first floor has vaulted and ten-foot ceilings, walls of Pella true-divided light windows and a handsome library featuring finely crafted millwork. However, it is the gourmet kitchen that will melt your heart, remodeled in 2021 with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and the finest appliances. Steps away, a sun-filled, domed family room has a fireplace with lapis granite surround and the perfect position, overlooking sunsets and the private acreage beyond. A striking master suite with vaulted ceiling, fireplace and elegant bath is on the second floor. There are nine-foot second floor ceilings, a future elevator closet, four additional bedrooms and a 2017 bonus room designed for family and friends. These more than fun, family accommodations are unexpectedly enhanced by a lavish lower level with recreation room, game room, wet bar, full bath, changing room and a swim against pool in a separate, environmentally controlled room.
