Property Description

Located in prestigious Blue Ridge Estates and within the highly acclaimed Southern Lehigh School District, this exceptional custom home combines luxury craftsmanship, privacy, and resort-style living on a beautifully landscaped one-acre homesite. Tucked among mature trees, the home offers a rare blend of architectural character and modern convenience. From the moment you enter, the attention to detail is unmistakable. Hand-applied plaster walls, reclaimed oak beams, custom millwork, rich hardwood flooring, and thoughtfully curated finishes create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops with a historic Ben Franklin edge profile, hand-carved soapstone sinks, a custom copper range hood, walk-in pantry, and an entertainer's wet bar with beverage centers. The family room showcases reclaimed oak beams, hardwood floors, and a custom wood-burning stove, while additional living spaces provide flexibility for entertaining, working from home, or everyday living. Pet lovers will appreciate the dedicated dog wash station conveniently located near the main-floor laundry. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, a custom closet system, and a spa-inspired bath featuring heated floors, steam shower, soaking tub, rain shower, custom cabinetry, a second laundry area, and dual solar-powered skylights. Additional bedrooms offer custom finishes, ensuite bath access, and zoned heating and cooling for year-round comfort. The finished walk-out lower level expands the living space with a legal fifth bedroom, full bath, custom wet bar, built-ins, and a hidden bonus room accessed through a secret passage door. French doors lead directly to the outdoor entertaining areas. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A screened porch opens to an expansive Trex deck overlooking the private backyard, while a sprawling covered patio below creates an incredible all-weather gathering space. Professional landscaping, stone walkways, a flagstone fire pit, mature trees, and multiple storage sheds complete the picturesque setting. Additional highlights include a whole-home multi-zone audio system, custom finishes throughout, and a 3-car garage with built-in storage. Conveniently located just minutes from I-78, major health networks, Saucon Valley Country Club, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect balance of luxury, privacy, and accessibility. As an added bonus, Blue Ridge Estates is one of the few communities in the area offering estate-sized one-acre lots served by public water, public sewer, and natural gas. A truly exceptional home where craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and unforgettable indoor-outdoor living come together. *BUY WITH CONFIDENCE—PRE-LISTING HOME INSPECTION AVAILABLE * 3D MATTERPORT PLUS INTERACTIVE FLOOR PLAN AVAILABLE, TOO*
