Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania Top 5 Home Sales: Bethlehem Home Leads at $3.1 Million

A renovated midcentury estate, a log retreat in the woods and a brand-new farmhouse-style home were among the week's five priciest sales.

Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania Top 5 Home Sales: Bethlehem Home Leads at $3.1 Million

The five highest-priced home sales reported in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania for the week ending November 8, 2026 came from five different towns, three in Northampton County and two in Lehigh County, and added up to $6.05 million.

One sale stood well above the rest, while the other four landed within about $85,000 of one another. The group runs from a home built in 1955 to one finished this year, and from a suburban Colonial on a corner lot to nearly five wooded acres along a country road.

No. 1 — $3,100,000 · 1803 Apple Tree Ln E, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Top home sale No. 1 in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania β€” 1803 Apple Tree Ln E, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, week ending November 8, 2026

The top sale of the week is a home called Foxfield, set back from the road on 4.60 acres in the Saucon Valley section of Bethlehem. Built in 1955 and described by the listing as a Bethlehem Steel legacy property, it has been reworked so thoroughly that little of the original interior plan remains. Ceilings were raised and walls were taken out, and glass walls now open the rooms to the grounds. The exterior pairs stone with wood and fiber-cement siding in a style that blends Colonial and contemporary.

The biggest change is a 2022 addition. Its ground floor is a separate primary wing with 10-foot ceilings, a fireplace and its own patio, along with a custom walk-in closet. Above it is a family room under a vaulted ceiling, again with walls of glass. Elsewhere on the second floor are three more bedrooms and two new baths, giving the home four bedrooms in all and five bathrooms, three full and two half, across 5,606 square feet.

The main rooms face outward. From the entrance foyer, a great room looks onto a covered terrace and the woods beyond, and the dining room, also walled in glass, leads out to the terrace and pool and connects to a kitchen redone in 2022 with a butler’s pantry, a wine cooler and an island. A gym, a mudroom and laundry are close by, as is a new attached garage with room for six cars. Outside, a heated saltwater pool sits beside a bluestone patio, and a circular driveway brings visitors to the door. The property last sold for $2.1 million in 2020.

Nancy Ahlum of Carol C Dorey Real Estate was the listing agent and also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the week’s highest-priced sale.

No. 2 — $790,000 · 2224 Pembrooke Dr, Macungie, Pennsylvania

Top home sale No. 2 in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania β€” 2224 Pembrooke Dr, Macungie, Pennsylvania, week ending November 8, 2026

In the Graymoor neighborhood of Macungie, a four-bedroom Colonial on a corner lot went under contract five days after it was listed and sold at its full asking price of $790,000. Built in 2005, the stucco and vinyl-sided home has 4,053 square feet, four bathrooms, three full and one half, and sits on 0.42 acres in the East Penn School District. The property last sold for $380,000 in 2005.

Hardwood floors and wainscoting carry from the tall foyer into the formal living and dining space, and an office sits behind a pair of French doors with a wall of windows. The family room has a coffered ceiling and a gas fireplace with a view out to the yard. The kitchen has granite counters, a center island, a double oven and a gas cooktop. Upstairs, the primary bath has a soaking tub and a glass walk-in shower, and the laundry room is on the same floor. A walk-up basement adds a recreation room and a full bath. Out back, a fenced in-ground pool is surrounded by a concrete patio and mature trees, with a covered porch nearby.

Lisa M. Smith and Sean C. LaSalle, both of Coldwell Banker Hearthside, were the listing agents. Jane Schiff of Howard Hanna TheFrederickGroup represented the buyer.

The remodeled kitchen, with quartz counters, new stainless-steel appliances and a large island, opens to a family room that leads out to a tiered deck. Hardwood floors run through the dining and living rooms, and a second family room in the finished walk-out basement is warmed by a gas fireplace. The primary suite has its own bath with a separate water closet and an adjoining sitting room that could serve as an office or nursery. An oversized two-car garage completes the home, which last sold for $550,000 in 2021.

Top home sale No. 5 in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania β€” 2244 Springtown Hill Rd, Hellertown, Pennsylvania, week ending November 8, 2026

A log home on 4.61 wooded acres along Springtown Hill Road in Hellertown sold for $705,000, and its land is the largest of the week’s five.

A stained glass front door opens onto log walls, exposed beams and stone accents. A double-sided stone fireplace serves both the living room and the dining room, and the bright kitchen has brushed aluminum cabinets and a walk-in pantry.
