This idyllic retreat in pastoral Springfield Township was thoughtfully designed and built by the current owners in 2007. Although the bucolic surroundings feel like you're a world away, the location is actually just minutes from the Lehigh Valley, NJ and I-78. One of only ten properties, the 3.3-acre parcel is privately sited on a cul-de-sac and backs to 26 preserved acres cultivated as a farm and vineyard. A circular drive is the inviting entry to a classic front portico embellished by specimen plantings, rare boxwood, and stone walkway. Flanking the foyer are formal LR and DR set off by unique bi-fold French doors with transoms. A separate wing comprises the lush master suite -- truly an oasis for tranquil repose with tray ceiling and accent lighting, window seat, many windows and a door to the covered porch. The master bath has a heated tile floor, vaulted ceiling, Jacuzzi tub, double vanity with marble counters, steam shower with seamless doors, bidet, and Kohler fixtures. Two main-floor offices offer convenient work-from-home opportunities. In the opposite wing, a full guest suite includes a bathroom with ADA features, imported tile, and floor with radiant heat. The comfortable FR opens to a well-appointed kitchen that entertainers and gourmands alike will relish, with mostly GE Monogram appliances and Bosch dishwasher. Beautiful custom red birch cabinetry continues into the butler's pantry with wine frig. Two additional generous bedroom suites and second LR/FR room complete the second floor, and multiple ground-level windows and doors naturally light the full walk-out basement, with extra height for future 9-foot ceilings if finished. Imported tile, hardwood floors, radiant heat in the two main bathrooms, whole-house sound, two fireplaces, steam shower, and back-up generator are just a few of the noteworthy features of this one-of-a-kind property. Add to this a serene exterior brimming with natural beauty from gardens full of specimen and native plants. A maintenance-free covered porch and deck span the rear of the home, where breathtaking views of vineyard, sunsets, farms, and wildlife provide a soothing retreat. Only 10 minutes from Hellertown and Coopersburg, 15 minutes from the Promenade Shops, and 75 minutes from NYC. An unparalleled combination of understated sophistication, convenient location, coveted privacy, and exceptional appointments inside and out.
