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.
