This single-family home sits on four and a half acres that backs to the Little Lehigh Creek. The creek is a destination for trout anglers looking to catch both native and stocked trout. The home features 3200 sq.ft. of living space. On the first floor is a guest suite with a full bath and private entrance. Up 3 steps through double pocket doors, any you’re in a large family room that stays cool in the summer because of the thickness of stone walls. On the second floor you’ll find gorgeous exposed beams, wide plank floors and a full modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances. There are 2 large bedrooms and another bathroom and access to an amazing covered porch with views of the entire property. The third floor, primary bedroom still features much of the old mill’s mechanism, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and another bath. Don't miss your opportunity to see this beautiful, and unique home!
