About This Home

As of July 2025

Masterpiece home perched on South Mountain on 2.8 acres in Upper Saucon Township. This stunning home is surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscaping in the Lehigh Valley. Gorgeous views in all directions and just minutes from Rt. 309/I-78 and 378. Amazing outdoor spaces for entertaining, such as the large Trex deck, back porch, and yard. Built with all of the finest materials which are evident throughout. The welcoming double wooden entry door greets you as you enter the foyer. An open concept encapsulates the first floor with the living/dining rooms and kitchen. The timeless kitchen is a chef’s dream with high-end appliances, wine fridge, and gorgeous view out of the window above the sink. A propane fireplace in the living room and a wood burning fireplace in the family room/den will surely keep you cozy all winter long. The second floor includes an expansive master bedroom and enormous walk-in closet, 2nd bedroom, full bath, and a gorgeous custom balcony over looking the living room. The finished basement is truly extraordinary. Custom bar, wine cellar, built in cabinetry, brick tiled flooring, stone archways and a doggy door to the back yard for your furry friend's convenience. The basement bathroom is a built in spa with heated floors, steam shower, and jucuzzi bathtub. You can have peace of mind with the new roof, septic system, HVAC, water heaters, well pump, and automated generator!
