*THIS IS A COMING SOON LISTING AND CANNOT BE SHOWN UNTIL 8/27 - MORE PHOTOS TO COME* Welcome to a truly rare offering in historic Allentown: a custom stone colonial whose story begins in 1780 with the original basement footprint, expanded in 1908 into the character-rich home you'll walk through today. The home's stone construction adds timeless character and enduring craftsmanship you simply can't replicate in new construction. A working fireplace connects directly to a flue running to the lower level, and a wood-burning stove serviced just two years ago adds old-world warmth. A refinished vintage Wedgewood stove anchors the kitchen alongside custom cabinetry crafted from the home's own original floorboards. Storage is unusually abundant, with a full standing attic plus a separate walk-up attic. Yet the essentials here are thoroughly modern: the well system was redone and septic fully replaced in 2018, there's a new water heater and boiler, and two-zone air conditioning - both zones new, plus an added upstairs unit - keeps every level comfortable year-round. A full basement with its own private entrance and a second driveway opens the door to future multi-generational living, a home business, or guest space. Outside, roughly half the property opens into a fully open meadow, gardens, and raised garden beds, while the remaining acreage stays wooded, turning the back of the property into a completely private haven. An arboretum with fruit-bearing trees, a running fish stream, and an extra-length two-car garage round out the grounds. Minutes from the shops and restaurants of downtown Allentown, the home offers easy access to Route 195 and the NJ Turnpike, putting Princeton, Philadelphia, and New York City all comfortably within reach. This is a property for the buyer who wants more than a house - who wants a piece of Allentown's history, updated for the way people actually live today.
