Perched atop a gentle rise in coveted Saucon Valley, this stone-front Colonial commands attention from the moment you turn onto the long, sweeping driveway. The stone-faced exterior with dormer windows, black shutters, and a columned entry portico gives this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home a presence that's hard to find. The manicured 2-acre flat corner lot, complete with professionally designed landscaping, specimen plantings, a peaceful waterfall feature, and landscape lighting, carries that impression all the way around. Rare for an estate-sized property, the home is served by public water, public sewer, and natural gas utilities, combining the privacy and space of country living with the convenience buyers increasingly seek. With over 5,000 square feet above-grade plus approximately 1,500 square feet of beautifully finished lower level, the home offers both grand-scale space and genuine everyday livability. The main floor features hardwood floors throughout most of the space, a formal living room and dining room each with generous proportions, a first-floor office filled with natural light, first-floor laundry, and a butler's pantry connecting the dining room to the kitchen. The renovated kitchen is the heart of the home featuring granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, a large center island with seating, walk-in pantry, built-in desk area, and a full GE Café suite of appliances — all opening to a bright breakfast area and the family room with coffered ceiling and wood-burning fireplace. A hallway lined with built-in bookshelves leads to a covered bluestone terrace on the side of the house, and out back the composite deck, expansive bluestone patios and terraces, stone firepit area, and pond with waterfall create an outdoor experience with something happening at every turn. The fully fenced backyard provides privacy and security, completing an outdoor retreat that's as functional as it is beautiful. The oversized 3-car garage features epoxy floors and room for additional storage, and a new driveway complete the arrival. Upstairs, the primary suite is comprehensive: a spacious carpeted bedroom, sitting room, private balcony with sweeping open views, large bath with dual vanity, soaking tub and walk-in shower, two walk-in closets with a vanity space between them, and a dedicated workout room. One additional bedroom is en suite with its own full bath, while the remaining two bedrooms each have a private vanity room and share a well-appointed Jack and Jill bath with a separate tub/shower and water closet giving each bedroom a sense of privacy that residents and guests alike will appreciate. The finished basement, fully permitted and remodeled, adds a bedroom, full bath, media room with center island and full bar, and a thoughtfully designed art room with sink, granite island workspace, built-in granite counters, and pegboard storage; a back staircase provides direct, private access to this level. Every improvement was completed by reputable, professional contractors, including a new roof, complete HVAC replacement, remodeled baths, updated kitchen finishes and appliances, extensive bluestone hardscaping, professional landscape lighting, basement finishing, new carpeting, and a freshly replaced driveway reflecting a level of care and investment rarely found. A comprehensive home manual will transfer to the next owner, and a full walk-up attic on the third floor offers the rare opportunity for additional finished space should future needs evolve.
