Listing description

Introducing The Wharton – a two-story home with timeless colonial charm. This true two-story home comes with incredible flexibility designed for the homeowner that would like the master on the second floor. With the optional elevator, homeowners can be confident in having access to all parts of the home throughout their life. The large kitchen was made to entertain and gather in. Beyond the island sits the open dining space and great room. The pantry behind the kitchen can be outfitted with cabinetry to create a dream butler’s pantry or can remain a great place for organized storage. The space is large enough for many uses. The first floor is rounded out with a study that can also be used as a dining room or bedroom as well as an office, powder room and spacious mudroom. The Wharton is part of The Cottages at Old Saucon, an exclusive 55+ community set on beautifully situated grounds next to the esteemed Saucon Valley Country Club. Developed by Erwin Forrest Builders, a trusted custom home builder in the Valley, and thoughtfully designed by Daniel Ebner Architects, this neighborhood is as convenient as it is beautiful. Here, you’ll enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle, as lawn care, landscaping, snow removal, and trash collection are all managed for you. A scenic walking trail weaves through the community, adding ease and enjoyment to your days.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $23,700, well below the ~$434,750 its asking price implies at Lehigh County's common level ratio (47.0%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $8,835/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($23,700, 2013 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2022 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Lehigh County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
