About This Home

As of December 2020

PRICE REDUCED! VIRTUAL TOUR AVAILABLE ON LINE. Visit for a 3D walkthrough, and for photos, floorplans & more! Sweeping lawns, a park-like setting, three magical acres and a Koi pond with waterfall are your introductions to this Saucon Valley gem. A long driveway, framed by tall walnut trees, crosses the Black River Creek and leads to a Circa 1850 Pennsylvania farmhouse. As a tribute to its history, many of the property s earliest details remain undisturbed, while the house has beautifully evolved into the 21st century. Beamed ceilings, period woodwork, built-in bookshelves, and random width floors complement the distinguished rooms. Wood-burning fireplaces are found in the formal living room, stunning dining room and original summer kitchen. French doors from various rooms lead to private front and rear flagstone patios and provide excellent flow when transitioning between indoor and outdoor entertaining. A stunning kitchen anchors the main level and is accented with white cabinetry and granite island, while an everyday dining area offers serene views of the professional landscaping and lovely gardens beyond. Adjacent, a large and gracious family room addition boasts walls of glass. Five bedrooms and plentiful closet space comfortably accommodate family members and overnight guests. The master bedroom suite is expansive and private with abundant windows, outstanding oversized walk-in closets and a luxurious bath. Finally, the partially finished lower level works well as a playroom or home gym. The original bank barn has been reworked to provide storage and parking for three cars. This wonderful property has it all - a storybook setting, a flawless blend of old and new eras, and effortless access to all that Saucon Valley has to offer.
