Nestled along a private lane in the sought after Main Street Extension area of Bethlehem, this extraordinary property has evolved from its circa 1900 origins as a summer residence into a unique home enveloped by nature and wildlife. Perched atop a wooded hillside overlooking historic Illick’s Mill, the home is a rare and picturesque find within the city limits. The captivating interior retains the feel of the hunting and fishing lodge it started as. Heart pine plank floors and a soaring stone wood fireplace accent the living room with a 14-foot peak. Step out to a covered deck with the feel of a sophisticated tree house. Spanning the length of the house, this spot provides views of wildlife, songbirds, and a variety of mature trees and plantings. Two bedrooms on the main level include a primary suite with terrific closet space and a modern laundry area. The lower walkout level is spacious and bright, offering great options for your home office, second family room, or additional bedroom. Central air, public water, a 2-car garage, and storage shed are modern amenities to appreciate. The prime location offers access to Historic Bethlehem and Monocacy Creek and Park with its walking trails and nature preserve. The Lehigh Valley’s essential commuter routes, outstanding dining, shopping, and recreational facilities are nearby. Nationally recognized hospitals and Lehigh and Moravian University campuses are easily reachable.
