COMING SOON! SHOWINGS BEGIN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH AT 2:00PM! This idyllic 1 acre parcel is immersed in the beauty of its natural surroundings and extends over to a piece of land on the other side of the Little Lehigh River. Originally constructed circa 1740, the structure has evolved into a delightful residence after undergoing a series of thoughtful additions and transformations through the years. Many remnants of the past remain. Original pumpkin pine floors with random widths up to 12”, deep windowsills, exposed stone walls and a great cooking fireplace as the focal point in the dining room are reminders of yesteryear. Modern amenities have been blended into the home’s floor plan and include a large kitchen with Pennsylvania cherry cabinetry, Middle Eastern limestone countertops, ceramic tile backsplash with Mercer tile inserts. There are four comfortable bedrooms, including a master bedroom suite with copious windows to enjoy the scenery and soothing sounds of the nearby creek when drifting off to sleep. The finished walkout lower level has an additional fireplace and wood burning stove as well as a home office with pastoral views. Colorful gardens, stone walls and locust trees envelop the flagstone patio and deck where you are privileged to have a front row seat to the kingfishers, ducks, herons and songbirds that make frequent appearances at Riverbend. Hard to believe, but I-78, Lehigh Valley Hospital, Lehigh County Club and all the conveniences of contemporary life are just minutes from this magical location in East Penn School District.
