January 6, 2015

A Bethlehem Township developer unveiled plans Monday to create a townhouse community within the boundaries of Lower Saucon Township’s Silver Creek Country Club.

The proposal calls for 120 custom townhouses built on three arcels totaling 30 acres at the northern, central and southern edges of the 280-acre golf course off Linden Avenue.

Developer David Spirk of Spirk Brothers Inc. said the homes would be built according to the buyers’ specifications, range in price from $300,000 to $500,000 and have facades that complement the existing stone structures. Owners would be required to belong to the country club.
