About This Home

As of February 2017

Every season will be memorable on this private and serene 6.7 acres, nestled in the hills of Saucon Valley. The entrance is down a long, tree-lined drive, past a two buildings with garaging for 6 cars. Built in 1949 for a Bethlehem Steel executive, the rich and splendid history resonates in the home's unique design, perfectly centered on its acreage, amidst lovely old trees, lush lawns and landscaping. A welcoming foyer boasts original mercer tile and a split landing to the bedrooms and living spaces. On the main floor, there are bucolic vistas from every window, while the southern exposure bathes the home in light. A new custom kitchen opens to the dining room and a large living room with bay window and a mercer-tiled fireplace. Rich in character and comfort, the master bedroom was recently remodeled and a new bath boasts marble counters and an oversized, seamless glass shower with two showerheads and body sprays. A few steps away are two additional baths and three bedrooms, two of which open to a balcony overlooking the long-distance views. The lower level family room, with beams and built ins, is another space for family and friends. An adjacent sunroom leads to a flagstone patio and sparkling, inground pool where you can relax and overlook the expansive back lawn. In this wonderful setting, there is abundant outdoor entertainment whether it is gardening, swimming in the pool, sitting on the patio, listening to the birds or watching the deer at the edge of the trees. The new four-car garage, with second floor storage, offers multiple possibilities. Whether entertaining, family time or enjoying hobbies in the two outbuildings, Fieldview welcomes every lifestyle.
