Description

Circa 1858 Stone & Stucco over Stone farmstead beautifully sited with its own pond on 10+ acres in Upper Bucks County, PA. Unfolding in stages upon entering from the nearly house-length side porch, this unique floorplan has been added onto over the generations, allowing each space to exist as its own vignette. Character abounds throughout the home, emphasizing the antique charms sought out by true Bucks County’s historic home enthusiasts. Nicely set back from the road, the original 2-story fieldstone portion of the house now serves as an inviting living room; featuring a stone fireplace, generous built-ins, deep-set windows & a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking gardens surrounding the heated in-ground pool. Continuing through the home is the generous dining room, also with floor to ceiling windows, & the centrally located foyer with both front & back exterior doors opening out to the various garden nooks surrounding the residence. Towards the back of the home is the cozy country kitchen featuring a charming breakfast nook with expansive views of yet gardens & the pool. Opening out from the kitchen is a laundry room, a powder room, a remarkably sized “mud room” entry w/ separate utility/furnace room, & a wall of closets; all lending themselves to a myriad of possible configurations. Upstairs features a large primary bedroom with an en-suite full bath, 2 smaller secondary bedrooms, a full hall bath, & a 4th larger bedroom with peaked ceilings & its own private secondary staircase. This 4th bedroom is currently configured as an office with a wall of built-ins. A second-floor sunroom, which is currently an artist’s studio retreat, extends along much of the upstairs - commanding a bird’s eye view of the pool. Ranging from mature woods to manicured lawns & nearly everything in between, the 10+ acres are a beautiful retreat to say the least. The owners have enjoyed hosting as many as 6 horses and various smaller farm animals over the years with the 2-story, 5 stall horse barn, its paddock, & 2 electric-fenced pastures with a run-in shed. The grounds also benefit from a 2+ car detached carport, a 1 car attached carport, & a charming 2-story utility/storage shed that looks like a village cottage from the outside. The home is served by a whole house GE propane fired generator & also includes a portable generator for ancillary property support. The Central A/C for the main level (living room) was replaced May 2024. As this oasis like setting readily affords ample opportunity for its new steward to create their own respite, the property is priced to reflect its potential & is being sold “as-is”. The property is not vacant & is under video surveillance.
