Property Description
Located in quaint Applebachsville, a village that once was a daily stagecoach stop between Bethlehem and Philadelphia, this c.1790 stone farm house with addition and classic red bank barn epitomizes fine country living. Set back from the road on 39.26 farm assessed acres, the house and barn sit proudly around the circular gravel drive lighted by carriage lamps. The acreage encompasses different environs, each intriguing. Approximately 29 acres are farmed but could be subdivided, or made into horse pasture as the land is open and flat. Woodlands provide privacy, and open lawns with irrigation system surround the compound, ideal for paddocks or play fields. A sparkling spring-fed stocked pond sits off in the distance and small creeks meander through the woods. The home's interior displays the original details and design sensibilities of updated farm house style. The living room with exposed beams and stone fireplace and the formal dining room both open to brick patios and gardens. A second stone fireplace is found in the cozy den. The large eat-in country kitchen offers an abundance of custom cabinets and granite counter space and flows to the tiled sun room with French door to patio and screened gazebo. There are two sun-filled main floor bedrooms, each with updated tiled full bathroom. The second floor comprises the main en suite bedroom with exposed beams and plentiful closet space. The most adorable guest bedroom has been created in the finished attic, complete with pie stairs, exposed stone, beams and charming built-ins. Beautiful random-width pine floors run throughout the house. Amenities such as the whole-house alarm system and generator, 2006 period-styled hand-crafted wood windows, multi-zoned hot water heat, central AC and on-demand LP hot water add comfort and peace of mind. Serenity and bucolic views from every window with easy access to the Lehigh Valley and routes to NY and Philadelphia make this charming property the ideal escape for weekends or full-time.
