Description
A distinguished landmark in the Lehigh Valley that once served as a house of worship, now a one-of-a-kind prized property, awaits the discerning buyer to appreciate the love that has been poured into this converted church home. Embellished with stunning architectural detail throughout dating from the early 1900's. Marvel at the magnificent entry and its ornate steeple. Appreciate the elegant oversized stained glass windows, refinished hardwood, exposed brick, and many seamless blends of old and new. Dramatic 20 foot ceilings with exposed wood beams decorate the grand gathering space, perfect for those who love to entertain, dine and mingle, or wish to downsize without sacrificing space. The kitchen was renovated 2 years ago. The versatile middle room can be a first floor bedroom, lounge, or study, with a pull down door for utmost privacy and updated full bath is adjacent. Brand new carpet expands throughout the vast loft space currently housing the primary bedroom and en-suite. Generously proportioned spaces continue to the partially finished basement providing a comfortable space to retreat, featuring an outside entrance, updated full bath and plumbed for a kitchenette. The exterior park-like setting is reminiscent of a secluded getaway. Geo thermal Heat, Central Air, Dual carports, parking pad, and one car garage is bonus. Centrally located & only 1.5 hrs to NYC, 1hr 15 to Philly. Beautifully maintained, this stately historic gem is indeed an exquisite living experience.
