This secluded, tastefully renovated early 20th century farmhouse graced with a Victorian-inspired expansive covered front porch is nestled in a wooded surround on a bluff overlooking Hassen Creek. The 9.08-acre property is both private, and just minutes from shopping, medical offices, restaurants, and Exit 49 of Interstate 78 near the village of Fogelsville. The original three story house and newer construction additions together comprise 4,167 square feet of heated space. Five bedrooms, four with in-suite bathrooms, one of which is an apartment with kitchenette and washer/ dryer, are housed in the original farmhouse. The apartment is accessed by an outside entrance that opens onto a second floor balcony. A classic entrance hall leads to the cathedral ceiling, skylight-illuminated dining room, and an intimate cathedral ceiling, skylight-illuminated family room with a view through double french doors to the expansive rear stone patio and lawn. The family room features a laundry closet equipped with full-size, front-loading Electrolux washer and dryer, and a large coat closet suitable for storing skis, golf bags, and many other larger items. The original ornate staircase descends into a spacious living room adjoining a recently remodeled kitchen fitted with a new, never-used counter depth refrigerator, and a work-station deep stainless steel sink. An additional attached 1,600 square feet of office space with dropped ceiling is housed in a 40 feet by 40 feet renovated free-span garage with 12 feet ceilings. The office space includes five private offices, large waiting room, pantry, and ADA-compliant powder room, and is ideal for a home-based business. Arrive at this special home by way of an idyllic country road. Enter this property nestled in a valley and surrounded by stone walls. The expansive stoned parking areas provide ample parking for both guests and clients. The stone walls wrap around to the rear yard, patio, and elevated gazebo nook. A large tool shed and open pavilion are attached to the rear of the home. The very private rear yard is often graced by wildlife including deer. The surrounding acres of meadows and wooded hillside are well-suited for private trails and husbandry. All mechanicals are updated: an oil-fired boiler installed in 2009 supplies the hot water baseboard heat in the original house and radiant heated floors in the newer additions, in-wall GE hotel HVAC units installed in 2013 provide quiet air conditioning and backup electric heat throughout the house; the well pump and hot water heater were recently replaced. The roofs were replaced in 2010; there is 400 amp electric service which is supplied to the house and office by underground cable. An on-lot septic system was recently serviced. The full-height dry basement is fitted with active suction radon remediation. The house is situated on 3.1 acres in Northwestern Lehigh School District/ Lowhill Township and is served by the very desirable Weisenberg Elementary School; an additional 5.98 acres of unimproved land is perk-approved and potentially may be sub-divided. The 5.98 acres are in Parkland School District/ Upper Macungie Township.
