NEWLY PRICED....This magnificent home is evocative of the GRACEFUL SPLENDOR of old houses one might find nestled deep in the FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE. Built by MYRON HAYDT for his personal residence in 2011, this estate was EXTENSIVELY UPDATED over the past few years by the current owners including the addition of a FIRST FLOOR LIBRARY and wet bar, gunite pool and hot tub, pool house and EXTENSIVE HARDSCAPING AND LANDSCAPING, and an expanded lower level. The 11,900 SQUARE FOOT HOME has an architectural style and interior design that is at once TIMELESS AND INNOVATIVE. European influences are evident in the stunning FIELDSTONE AND BRICK EXTERIOR, dramatic CEDAR SHAKE rooflines, and captivating turrets. Paver walkways and a welcoming drive lead to 5 CAR GARAGING as the first approach to this prestigious home, centered on 2.5 acres.
Inside, the home embodies a gentle blend of grace and subdued elegance. Rooms are BATHED IN LIGHT through oversized Pella windows and French doors. CEILINGS ARE TEN FEET HIGH on the main and lower levels and nine feet on the second. The many luxurious amenities include thick OAK AND MARBLE floors, extra high baseboards, deep crown moldings and curved walls. There is a BREATHTAKING KITCHEN, combining beauty and functionality, with a custom wood COFFERED CEILING, solid marble countertops, and stainless appliances. The adjacent breakfast nook has a vaulted ceiling and three walls of windows to let in natural light in every season. Nearby, the cozy family room has a wood-burning fireplace with marble surround, and two sets of French doors opening to the back yard WITH POOL.
Spacious PRIMARY BEDROOM SUITES ON BOTH THE FIRST FLOOR AND SECOND FLOOR, welcoming use by extended families. These suites boast large windows and sumptuous baths appointed with marble floors, jetted tubs, walk-in showers, and custom vanities. The second floor primary suite boasts extraordinary size and comfort, with a gas lit fireplace and a curved stairway that takes you to a lofted room overlooking valley views and beckoning one to enjoy a private getaway or office retreat. Three additional ensuite bedrooms and a second floor laundry room offer the amenities that one would expect from a home of this caliber.
A newly updated lower level includes a bar, WINE CELLAR, THEATER ROOM, GYM, family room and WET BAR as well as a full bath with steam shower. The attached 3-car garage is complemented by a heated 2-car detached garage with loft space, ready to be customized. The heated pool and spa, new POOL HOUSE and intricate paver patios are accessed from the sunroom and family room for intimate dinners under the stars or lively celebrations.
Melrose Manor is a modern estate with old-world charm, in a distinguished Saucon Valley neighborhood where shopping, dining, and entertainment venues are just minutes away.
