$937,000

Tucked within the Executive Estates community, just moments from LVHN/Jefferson - Cedar Crest and Lehigh Country Club, this exceptional circa-1860 stone farmhouse offers a rare balance of historic character and thoughtfully integrated modern living. Set on nearly an acre of private, maturely landscaped grounds, the property delivers both quiet seclusion… Read More and convenience. From the moment you arrive, the home's enduring stone fae7;ade and deep-set windows establish a sense of permanence and craftsmanship rarely found today. Inside, wide-plank wood floors, substantial wall depth, and preserved architectural details create an atmosphere that feels both grounded and refined. A formal living room offers a more intimate setting, complete with custom built-ins, exposed beams, and classic detailing. From there, the home transitions into its most captivating sequence of spaces, where history and expansion meet with intention. The dining room serves as a true centerpiece, anchored by a striking oversized stone fireplace and walls clad in repurposed barn wood. Additional reclaimed beams add depth and texture. Tucked discreetly within the dining area, a wet bar is ideally positioned for entertaining while remaining easily accessible to the adjoining great room and kitchen. Adding to the home's architectural character, original interior windows offer subtle ''peek-through'' views into the expanded living areas, where a preserved stone wall creates a visual connection between the home's original structure and its thoughtfully designed addition. The great room and kitchen unfold seamlessly, filled with natural light and designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen, previously featured in Lehigh Valley Style, remains a standout for its timeless design and enduring materials. Honed granite countertops are complemented by a generous wood-topped center island and matching butcher-style prep table, creating a natural focal point. A bay window with built-in seating provides a comfortable space for casual dining. A dedicated scullery enhances functionality with additional prep and storage, featuring wood countertops that continue the home's cohesive material palette. In the adjoining family room, custom wainscoting crafted from the original barn materials adds a subtle layer of character, while a single exposed beam carries the design through. The first floor is completed by a well-placed laundry room and powder room. Upstairs, the second level offers four bedrooms, including a private primary suite with walk-in closet and updated ensuite bath, along with a fully renovated hall bathroom. A recently painted third-floor attic provides flexible bonus space. Recent improvements include a newer roof, water softener, and reverse osmosis system. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with front and rear patios overlooking nearly one acre of landscaped grounds. A two-car garage completes the property. A rare offering where original materials and thoughtful design come together in a home that feels both timeless and livable Read Less
