About This Home
As of September 2018SALE PENDING An enticing glimpse of an earlier age of elegance... an architectural style and stature captured in stone... a wistful play of old trees & pines, this exquisite manor home, circa 1932, is testimony to Bethlehem's rich history. The romantic environs exhibit all the essential elements of an elegant estate - a graceful drive, picturesque gardens, flowering trees, flagstone terraces, pond and in-ground pool, sited on 2.6 park-like acres. Designed by Lovelace & Spillman for a Bethlehem Steel Vice President, it has always been a home to prominent executives. Recent renovations and expansions have enhanced the original grace and grandeur, bringing it up to the very best of today's standards. Both the interior and exterior are particularly well-suited for sophisticated entertaining. Designed in grand scale, the interior boasts deep window sills, high ceilings, mercer tile, beautiful wood moldings and floors, and stunning views. A 2017 kitchen renovation is heart-stopping and showcases fabulous appliances, counters, and flooring. A stunning family room with floor-to-ceiling fireplace and a magnificent library overlooks the lush and meticulously landscaped yard. Completing the picture, privately situated on the second floor with front and back staircases, is the sumptuous master suite and three additional bedrooms, all with their own baths. Finally, there are garden areas created by care and time, and a covered patio overlooking all. Homes of this caliber are rare now, but this elegant and welcoming property is an impressive example of one of Bethlehem's finest offerings. At once classic and elegant, warm and comfortable, it is indeed the perfect family home.
