Property Description
Breathtaking views await at historic Wethersfield Farm, where master craftsmanship & visionary design have integrated modern amenities with old world charm. A tree-lined drive leads to the c.1812 stone manor farmhouse, recognized by Heritage Conservancy, which has been enhanced & expanded over 6,000 sq.ft. through combined efforts of renowned architect Lynn Taylor and Mack & Roedel Custom Builders. Working fireplaces, built-in cabinetry, and original hand blown windows decorate the entrance parlor & main living room, while random width Cherry floors blend seamlessly with the original oak & pumpkin pine. 5 fireplaces and exposed stone walls add to the charm & understated elegance. The summer kitchen with a walk-in fireplace now serves as the game room. Welcome guests with a private 1st floor en-suite. Hand hewn beams salvaged from a local barn frame the family room with a 10' ceiling, stone fireplace flanked by window seating & views of the light dancing off the spring fed pond. The open concept dining room affords the heart of the home with a backdrop of panoramic views of the windmill & pastures. No expense was spared in the gourmet kitchen crafted by William Draper with state of the art appliances. Plenty of seating around the Cherry island with a marble baking station & prep sink. A mudroom with built-in cubbies & utility sink are steps away from the oversized 2-car Kistler barn/garage. A powder room is located near the side entrance, where a hottub hosts sunset views. The upstairs has a laundry room, main bedroom with built-in window seats, dressing area, and 4 closets. The master bathroom boasts marble tile, a steam shower, & soaking tub. A 2nd bedroom has its own bathroom, and 2 more bedrooms share a hall bathroom. Another room with a fireplace may be used as another guest room or study. The lower level has exposed stone, 10' ceilings, a full bathroom, an office, 2 sets of stairs & a full window allowing natural light to give this space great versatility. A Bluestone terrace overlooks the property dappled with reminders of its past, like the spring house now updated with electric & the smoke house. Barn/tractor shed has extra storage & a gated stall in the fenced pasture. Also 1-car garage & a chicken coop. Abutting Covered Bridge Park this property is a gem unto itself, but add the location (3 miles to Doylestown Boro), award-winning school district, proximity to hospital, train, fine dining & shopping ? and welcome to your own pocket of paradise.
