About This Home

As of August 2023

Charming Biery"s Bridge Road leads to this exquisite Georgian-style farmhouse. Set on nearly 6 acres in Bethlehem, the home"s earliest rooms date back to the early 1800s. An impeccable Chiles and Sillivan addition flawlessly blends historic features and contemporary amenities. The rooms are large in scale with wood floors and extra high baseboards. A fireplace, wet bar, and wall of windows enhance the gracious family room with stunning views of the Monocacy Creek. The gourmet kitchen boasts superior appliances, granite and teak surfaces, counter seating and a sunny breakfast nook. Formal living and dining rooms are elegantly appointed with crown and dentil moldings, original random width birch floors, and an 18th century mantel surrounds a wood-burning fireplace. Stylish bathrooms and spacious bedrooms are found on the second floor, including a charming en suite with fireplace and a sumptuous master bedroom suite with walk-through closet, bath, fireplace and adjacent exercise room. An elevator accesses all levels. The outdoors is truly unforgettable with deck and stone patio areas, a built-in kitchen/buffet for entertaining, and spectacular natural surroundings. Easy access to the Lehigh Valley"s commuter routes and the shops and restaurants of downtown Bethlehem is one more reason to admire this one-of-a-kind property.
