This most evocative property was built in the 1930s in the Arts & Crafts style, is the quintessence of elegance and archetype of the houses one might find nestled deep in the English countryside. This home is cognate of the English country cottages of 19th century architects C.F.A. Voysey and Sir Edwin Lutyens - with its large continuous roof surface is a showcase of design and building materials - native stone and stucco, thick slate roof, side and back porches, second-floor balcony overlooking the beamed and vaulted living room, wrap-around staircase with wrought-iron ballisters, and chestnut woodwork and refinished chestnut hardwood flooring throughout. Located in the sought-after north part of Main Street Extension, within the City of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, this home is serenely set on over an acre of property with a 20' x 40' in-ground swimming pool, a pond and several patios, all surrounded by mature gardens and trees. The interior is rich with chestnut hardwood floors and detailed woodwork, high ceilings, a balcony from the master suite overlooking a breathtaking, living room below and five more bedrooms, three full bathrooms and one half-bathroom. Facing west, the 2-story, sunken living room is bathed in afternoon light through oversized casement windows and has a wood fireplace of stone and stucco with a large, decorative chestnut wood mantle. Climb the wrap-around staircase with wrought iron ballisters to a large foyer and balconies, the master bedroom and full bathroom, and three additional bedrooms and full bathroom. A remodeled 3rd floor, two-bedroom suite with full bath that has the original claw footed tub, can also be accessed by a separate staircase from the Butler Pantry. Finally, one of the truly unique characteristics of this home is that, being nestled between Center Street and Main Street Extension, the home was designed with two elegant front entry ways - both the east- and west-facing sides of the home appear to be the front of the home.
