735 Overlook Dr, Lehighton, PA 18235

Description

Tucked away yet conveniently located on 9+ acres, this upgraded mid-century contemporary-style 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers many extras, accompanied by garages for four cars, making this property feel more like a private retreat. Enjoy peaceful country living at its finest while still being just 3–5 minutes from the PA Turnpike entrance, providing quick access to busier areas, as well as nearby top-tier hospitals and businesses. It’s the kind of location that gives you the best of both worlds: peace and privacy, without feeling far away.

Built in the 1970s and thoughtfully updated in 2018 with architect-drawn plans, the home now features a huge country kitchen, a primary bedroom suite with walk-in closet, a loft, and a powder room upstairs. On the main floor, you’ll find a built-in one-car garage, kitchenette/laundry, a new front-door foyer, bonus room, two additional bedrooms, full bath, family room and a cedar-paneled enclosed porch.

Extras upstairs feature mostly vaulted ceilings, a huge stone fireplace, and large plate-glass windows that bring the outdoors in and create a true outdoor-living feel. The living room opens to an expansive wrap-around deck constructed with low-maintenance PVC and aluminum railings—the perfect spot for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or simply taking in the view.

On the main floor you’ll find two sizeable bedrooms, and another almost identical fireplace in the family room complete with a propane log insert for a cozy feel. Large windows and a slider open to an enclosed porch with two separate rooms—one a “sunroom” and the other home to the spa. Walls of windows showcase beautiful, expansive views of the Blue Mountain Bake Oven Knob, and Hawk Mountain. With this much glass and scenery, the views become part of the home itself. Keep an eye out for the many eagles and other birds that can often be seen from this special vantage point.

Hardwood, vinyl, laminate, and ceramic flooring complement the home. For added peace of mind, the property features a whole-house generator, security system, and a roof that is less than 10 years old. And there’s even more! The heated basement is partially finished, with an entertainment area on one side and storage/utilities on the other. There’s a surprising amount of space here, and it seems to reveal another possibility around every corner.

And if that isn’t enough, the property also includes a separate 1,000-square-foot, two-story building featuring a three-car garage, heat-able workroom, and cold cellar downstairs. Upstairs are three beautiful pine-board-finished rooms, perfect for a music studio, workshop, quiet escape, or even certain types of business use. There is also a storage room, exterior porch, and loft. With four separate entrances, the upstairs area offers incredible flexibility for a variety of uses.

Whether you’re looking for room to create, space to entertain, a place to pursue your hobbies, or simply somewhere to enjoy a little more breathing room, this property delivers. So much potential awaits on this expansive property, with plenty of space to work, play, relax, entertain, and simply enjoy the room to breathe. A unique combination of privacy, versatility, and beautiful mountain views makes this property truly special.
