Quintessential Bucks County living abounds here and you need to see this property today! Full of
unique charm, this sprawling home offers a taste of Bucks County history paired with modern
amenities and the finishing touch of an artisan's care. The curved drive welcomes you into the foot of
the woods of the Buckingham Mountain, with almost four acres of private space on which to retreat
and recharge, and a separate outbuilding available for creative endeavors adds to that luxury.
Dappled sunlight pours in between the mature trees to illuminate the lush, shaded gardens
surrounding the home. Built in three iterations, this home is filled with lovingly maintained Early
American charm and is tied together by the wide-pine flooring that is featured throughout most of the
home while featuring a variety of modern amenities. The two-story addition that doubled the
residence size in 2007 features a beautiful front porch and entryway to a generous green slate tiled
foyer. A large and airy media/family room with a custom cherry and honed granite wet bar along with
en suite guest accommodations makes up the remainder of the first-floor space. When you move to
the left past the main staircase, you enter the heart of this home…a massive two-story great room
that feature antique barn beams, a large “walk in” fireplace with a modern wood stove insert and
custom cherry mantle. This is a great space for entertaining with plenty of space for seating and
dining areas. Around the corner, a breakfast room is flooded with light and is easily served by the
adjacent kitchen, fully remodeled in 2003. Here, the home chef will enjoy professional-grade
appliances, including a commercial-size Thermador Professional 6 burner gas range with griddle
and two ovens, a Rangemaster hood, a new stainless dishwasher, apron-front sink, a new Frenchdoor
refrigerator, antique brick flooring, a generous island, beautiful soapstone counters and extra
deep cabinets. Extra storage is out of sight in an organized and accessible walk-in pantry room with
cabinetry and shelving. Built in circa 1750's, the oldest section sits opposite the kitchen and is
graced with lovely views of the mountainside. Here, two lower-level rooms, one with a decorative
fireplace, provides exceptionally thick hand-plaster-over-limestone walls, deep windowsills, and wide
pine flooring. Perfect as a home office and meditation or reading room, they are divided by a
staircase to the second level. Upstairs, in the newest section of the home, relax in the serene and
spacious main bedroom suite that features a beautiful view of the property, an extra-large, organized
walk-in closet with plenty of storage and a large bathroom with a room sized, walk-in shower finished
in Vermont green slate tile The bath also includes dual, custom cherry vanities with honed granite
surfaces and a separate toilet room with linen storage. Just outside the bedroom is a home office
space that would also work nicely as a nursery and a generous second-floor laundry area. The quiet
area upstairs also includes the original main bedroom and two other bedrooms. Off the hallway and
balcony pass, there is a full hall bath with both a shower and a whirlpool. For the hobbyist and
creator, a fully heated and air-conditioned workshop space awaits in the large, separate outbuilding.
Most recently used as a woodworking shop, this large, open, and well-lit area can function nicely as
an art studio or craft shop or even an office. The upper level of the building is open for storage and
includes a cedar storage closet. The most enchanting part of the home, however, remains in the
established and picturesque acreage that surrounds the property. You'll be able to escape into
nature in just a few steps, while still being close to wineries, commuting routes, & iconic towns like
downtown New Hope, Newtown, Doylestown, Lahaska & Princeton. Perfect as a home, artisan
haven or retreat. See Special Features List
