Showcasing spectacular long distance views and peaceful countryside vistas, this unique property is positioned on a gently sloping hillside in Lower Saucon Township. Built in 1983, Mountainside Retreat offers the privacy and charm of a rustic lodge with the roominess and comfort of a full-time residence. Almost eleven acres of woods and clearings frame the nearly 3,800 square foot brick and wood home. The sprawling great room is highlighted by a vaulted and beamed oak ceiling from trees harvested from the property and floor-to-ceiling brick wood burning fireplace and opens to a dining room, kitchen and breakfast area. Four sunny bedrooms and four full baths are found on three finished levels, including the spacious, walk-out lower that includes a workshop area and a locked vault. These are ideal accommodations for a bustling family or house full of weekend guests. There is an attached two car garage and a detached garage with electric, a floored loft and three bays for cars or equipment and adjacent changing rooms. A two bay tractor shed provides even greater storage options. New carpet, 2016 furnace and central air conditioning are a bonus and a tennis court and colorful array of mature trees and plantings complement the grounds. The quiet and convenient venue affords easy access to Bucks County destinations along the Delaware River and to shopping and dining in the Lehigh Valley's hotspots.
