Our listing was just named by LehighValleyLive.com as having one of the most stunning kitchens in the entire Lehigh Valley: Chef's Paradise Article. It makes perfect sense. The owner recently refinished the cabinets and upgraded the cabinet door handles. Plus the kitchen was custom designed by Stofanak Custom Cabinets of Bethlehem, which has been the gold standard for kitchens in the area since 1951. My wife Amira and I have been saying that this is our favorite home among the ones we've listed.
All the photos and details of the home at 3967 Hollo Road in Lower Nazareth Township are viewable here: Photos and Details .
Here are the reasons why we believe the kitchen at this home was selected as one of the most stunning ones in Northampton and Lehigh counties.
- The kitchen flows into the dining room, sunken living room, breakfast nook, butler stairs, laundry area, and entrance hall. The kitchen should be the center of life and interaction in the home, and the clever design allows the occupants and guests to come together easily. Breaking bread ("communion"), so to speak, is a universal way for people to forge deeper relationships.
- The light granite with swirls and smooth edges displays the quality of the stone and the craftmanship. Not all granite is created equal. The natural swirls of the granite play off of the deep hues of the cabinet doors. The smooth ends ensure one will never bump a sharp edge.
- In addition to the breakfast nook, there is a breakfast bar. Many fine homes have one or the other; this prestigious property has both. The breakfast nook features custom cabinetry and bay windows that oversee the well landscaped backyard. Eating any meal here enhances intimacy because of the natural light and beautiful view. The breakfast bar is set at an angle, and it's perfect for high-backed stools and having the diners face their loving chef. Imagine the excitement of hibachi night or pizza night, with bite sized morsels being tossed or hot slices of homemade pizza fresh from the oven sliding onto plates.
- The Jenn-Air flat cooktop set in the island makes the food prep and cooking simple and fun. Instead of constantly running plates and cutting boards around, a chef can have everything conveniently located in one spot. The cleanup is quick and easy too.
- The under-cabinet mood lighting creates multiple benefits. It can serve as romantic mood lighting, or gentle nighttime illumination when someone needs to fix a midnight snack. It also allows the chef to see their handiwork more clearly during the prep stage.
- The overhead wrought iron pot rack preserves the pots and pans while making it simple to pick the right one. Have you ever rummaged around a pile of pots in a cabinet, scratching the non-stick coating off as pots and pans grind against each other? The overhead pot rack, situated perfectly above the contours of the center island, keeps every pot and pan visible and free from scratching the others. Plus now there will be more space in the cabinets for other things.
- The double wall ovens allow for multiple culinary creations to bake at different temperatures. A truly great chef is always baking more than one dish. Also, one can keep a plate warm for someone returning home late from work or a social obligation. There is nothing like coming home tired and having a warm entree waiting.
- The hardwood floor that encompasses the entire first level flows through the kitchen. Rather than having breaks and thresholds to trip over, the wide-plank hardwood was included as the kitchen floor. This gives continuity to the feel of the first floor.
- The Sonos whole home audio system is just by the kitchen, and it is controlled by a smartphone app. Many culinary artists listen to mood music. Why not have that music easily be set and controlled by a smartphone? The system puts the chef in control of the music and what rooms the melodies will play in while they cook away.
- The kitchen triple-bowl sink is situated so one can observe the activity on the rear patio, swimming pool area, and living room. This is a perfect design for the caring host who wants to serve the immediate needs of their guests and for the loving parent keeping an eye on their children.
We just love this home. It was also recently feted as having one of the most amazing backyards in the Lehigh Valley. Buy this home and make your dreams a reality.
