Welcoming… Restrained… Polite. Fieldview has many of the qualities of a perfect host and is a particularly fine example of a Saucon Valley legacy property. Here, the timeless design, with modern interpretations, provides exceptional livability. The original home was built in a time when quality was the rule and not the exception, while recent renovations and expansions have enhanced the original grace and charm, bringing this home up to today’s standards, with a nod to its rich history at every turn. Fieldview is on a private cul-de-sac, off a quiet road, nestled in the center of 1.66 acres of specimen plantings and magnificent tall trees that only time and care can provide. Inside, the amenities befit the house, where every room reveals delightful architectural details. A house to live in and to cherish, attention to detail and care in craftsmanship is apparent throughout. The gracious foyer is flanked by an elegant dining room with a walk-in bay window and a handsome living room with fireplace, built-ins and adjacent wine room with wet bar. The family room, with fireplace and a wall of glass overlooking patio and pool, opens to the stunning kitchen, reimagined in 2023 and sure to delight all chefs. In addition, there is a first floor office with sitting room and full bath that could serve as a first floor bedroom suite, if desired. There are three staircases to the second floor, privately accessing the four bedrooms. The primary suite has an exquisite bath with radiant-heated marble floors, marble shower with multiple shower heads and a luxurious soaking tub. The adjacent den with a fireplace beckons you to cozy up with a good book or watch your favorite movie. Two additional bedrooms and full baths are on a wing of their own while the East wing offers a separate bedroom suite for guests or a perfect teenager oasis. At day’s end, the family’s gathering place will most likely be the lower level with a game room for ping pong, shuffleboard or pool, and a 2nd family room with surround sound. Adults will love the tasting room and wet bar. A half bath completes this floor. For the car and hobby enthusiasts, the three-car garage will delight. The bucolic setting includes flowering gardens, a gentle waterfall, custom landscaping, backyard pool, pool house and patio areas offering extended venues for large gatherings. Set amongst this screen of mature and specimen trees, the pool, spa and pool house flawlessly match the main residence. This is a house to entertain in, to live in and to cherish, every bit as noteworthy as its location. At once classic and elegant, while warm and comfortable, it is, indeed, the perfect family home. This utterly romantic home may be the best property you will ever see, effortlessly striking a remarkable balance between spaciousness and warm intimacy.
