A first floor master reveals remarkable attention to detail in layout, elegant bath with whirlpool tub, fully-appointed closets and an adjacent first floor laundry. Two additional bedrooms, a bonus room, two baths and a lofted family space complete the second floor. These more than ample accommodations are unexpectedly enhanced by a lavish lower level with high ceilings, a custom bar with microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher, an exercise room, a game room and a family room? all with special trim details such as a coffered ceilings and display niches. The Villas offer a special lifestyle, adjacent to Lehigh University's 500 acres of playing fields, where cross country trails are an excellent venue for exercise.
