Here’s your opportunity to own a truly special piece of history, beautifully appointed with tasteful modern flair. A pair of stone pillars—constructed during the Roosevelt-era WPA program—stand at the end of the drive, offering a stately welcome to this remarkable natural stone home, originally built in 1897 as a one-room schoolhouse. The main level showcases soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and deep window sills that bathe the space in natural light. A spacious great room serves as the centerpiece, complemented by two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath featuring double sinks and a tiled walk-in shower. The lower level forms the heart of the home, where a well-designed kitchen offers abundant prep space, ample cabinetry, and new stainless steel appliances. Adjacent dining and family rooms create an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining, highlighted by a cozy pellet stove. A convenient half bath and laundry area complete this level. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and an updated full bath provide flexible space for guests, family, or a home office. Outside, the property continues to impress. A 32' x 24' detached garage easily accommodates SUVs while offering additional storage. The grounds are rich in character, outlined by historic stone pillar and metal cable fencing, with mature trees framing the expansive front and side yards. Three additional outbuildings provide even more storage and versatility. Set along a quiet township road, this unique property offers peaceful surroundings with easy access to major routes, shopping, and dining. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a scenic weekend retreat, this one-of-a-kind home delivers charm, history, and modern comfort in equal measure.

Tucked away on a private lane in beautiful Lower Saucon, this well-loved home is a delightful combination of rural serenity and modern living space. Built in 1879 as a schoolhouse, the building was later sold and remodeled into a family home. Extensive renovations in 2024 make this historic beauty suitable for a weekend escape or full time residence. High ceilings, exposed beams, and deep window sills bring a sense of space to the entry level. Here you will find a large great room along with two expansive bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs, the kitchen offers lots of prep and storage space along with new stainless appliances. This space features a dining room and a family room with a wood-burning fireplace. There is a half bath and laundry space area on this floor as well. The upper level has two additional bedrooms and an updated full bath. Stone pillars mark the driveway, a remnant of Roosevelt’s WPA program. Tall trees and mature specimen plantings surround the home and give it a classic countryside ambiance. With commuter routes nearby, shopping, dining and entertainment options abound in the Lehigh Valley.

Rural Agriculture District
The Rural Agricultural District provides a rural low-density living environment. The area is extensive and without development-related public facilities, such as water and sewer. The district is established to encourage agricultural and related activities, as well as to conserve unique natural features, such as flood prone and sloping areas, forests, and wildlife habitats and to help protect the watershed areas for the Springtown Water System and the Hellertown Water System water supplies. This district is established also to allow development while encouraging protection of valuable natural resources.
