Property Description
Home to be on HGTV House Hunters in December 2015. In 1936, a time when quality was the rule and not the exception, noted Lehigh Valley architect, Charles Lovelace, designed this exceptional estate. Recent renovations and expansion have enhanced the original grace and grandeur, bringing this home up to today's standards while still retaining its stature and ambience. Always a home to prominent executives, both the interior and exterior are particularly well suited to entertaining. The gardens and patio areas are an extended venue for large gatherings. At once classic and elegant, while warm and comfortable, it is indeed the perfect home. Attention to detail and care in craftsmanship are apparent throughout. Designed in grand scale, the gracious living room, bathed in light through deep-set windows, boasts crown moldings, chair rail and a formal fireplace with paneled surround. The game room is paneled in pickled beaded pine and accented by a Mercer tiled fireplace. In addition to the first floor sunroom, dining room and kitchen with butler's pantry, there is a first floor in-law suite. A master bedroom suite and attached office with fireplace and 3 additional bedrooms complete the second floor. Privately situated on the second floor of the three-car garage there is a finished room. Complementing the magic of this historical setting are mature hedgerows, majestic shade trees, magnificent gardens and a formal, walled garden with fountain and stone terrace, all sited on 2.3 park-like acres.
