All the charm of a one of a kind stone farmhouse built in the mid 1800s. A large country kitchen with quartz countertops and cherry cabinets provides an inviting place for family and friends to gather. The spacious family room is both cozy and inviting and highlighted by original wide plank floors and a gas fireplace to warm your toes as you look out the windows to a beautiful terrace and partially wooded back yard. The 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths will provide plenty of room for your family. The one year old roof, replacement Pella/Anderson windows and a whole house generator will keep you secure no matter what the weather. The adjoining two car garage and the central air are unusual for a farmhouse of this age which makes this home the perfect mix of old and new. All this and an ideal location in a fantastic rural like neighborhood but yet close to quaint downtown Emmaus and near the Lehigh Valley Hospital and a conservation area. Added bonus:Taxes are only$4400/year!
Tucked into a corner of Riverbend Road and Orchid Lane surrounded by mature shade trees, with dogwoods & perennial flowers dotting the lawns and gardens. This charming residence has evolved from the original 18th century cottage to an endearing country home. Mellow random width floors & deep silled 9 over 6 pane windows of the original rooms are complimented by the kitchen, family room & 1st floor master additions with walls of windows facing south overlooking the terrace and gardens. Lovingly enjoyed for many years this wonderful home now available to be refreshed for your treasured memories.
