As if plucked from a picture book and set in a forest meadow, Merryweather sits proudly amidst 4.5 acres and has long been appreciated as a particularly fine example of an original Saucon Valley manor home. Unerring good taste through the years has left its legacy.  As one would expect of a residence of this caliber, there is a quiet dignity at first approach, down a long winding drive, to the residence whose architectural details are reminiscent of the great houses of Europe.

 Classic in design, the home invites elegant entertaining in the exquisitely detailed and meticulously maintained interior – all brought up to today’s demanding standards.  The living room, as do most of the rooms, has finely crafted millwork, fireplace, French doors and deep windowsills.  The first floor library boasts rich Brazilian hardwood floors, fireplace, built-in cabinetry and French doors to the rear terrace. A sophisticated dining room is served by a well-appointed butler’s pantry.  A fabulous new kitchen will take your breath away and opens to the family room with rounded ceiling, Brazilian hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and two sets of French doors to the flagstone terrace beyond.  A sunroom has three walls of floor-to-ceiling windows and an exposed stone wall.

 The master suite is stunning, with fireplace, elegant his and her baths and a separate spa room. Two additional bedroom suites, a laundry and a storage room complete the second floor.  The lower level recreation room has an open-beamed ceiling, exposed stone wall, stone fireplace, radiant heated floors and wine cellar.  Outside, in complement to the magic of this historical setting, are mature hedgerows, majestic shade trees, magnificent patios and stone walls.
