About This Home

As of August 2018

SALE PENDING Penstock was built with the skill and craftsmanship synonymous with Saucon Valley's Stever Mills, in a much sought after location, nestled at the end of the cul-de-sac, overlooking the Black River Creek and Lehigh University's playing fields, where open acreage and abundant wildlife are the backdrop to the home's walls of windows in every first floor room. Rarely does a home of this caliber become available. With stone appointments and curved arches at entrance, incredible architectural and trim details, gracious living spaces delineated by dramatic ceiling heights and interior transoms, every turn invites one to experience perfection in a design that is functional as well as beautiful. The first floor boasts hardwood floors, a four-season, brick-floored sunroom with exposed stone wall, an elegant master suite and bath, custom kitchen, dining room with crown moldings and fluted columns, an office, and a cathedral-ceilinged great room accented by a corner fireplace with antique replica plaster surround. Rich moldings continue upstairs where a second floor boasts two lofted sitting areas, two bedrooms and an area for a future elevator. There is also a full basement plumbed for an additional bath. This maintenance-free home provides a room for every need, in a sophisticated and elegant interior. Meticulously crafted with an old world design that incorporates both dramatic rooflines and traditional styling, Stever Mills is reminiscent of a village in the European countryside. Experience the richly-appointed carriage house, built without compromise, blending attention to detail with understated elegance ? all in a private location where you will have time to enjoy the miles of adjacent walking and jogging paths.
