Property Description
SIMPLY FANTASTIC! Step back into the era of solid construction and amazing details, circa 1850. This exceptional property has all its original character, details and ambiance further enhanced by additions and modern touches that seamlessly blend in. Lovingly expanded and remodeled over the years, this classic Bucks County farmhouse and bank barn is sited back from the road on three acres. Two front doors, common in the 1800s, provide entrance into the dining/gathering room and living room/parlor. One has a huge, fieldstone walk-in fireplace with iron cooking equipment and the other has a wood burning fireplace with carved mantel and surround. Architectural features include transoms, period hardware, pumpkin pine floors, built-in cupboards, deep windowsills and doorframes that show where exterior walls once were. The heart of this home is a beautiful, custom kitchen. Cherry cabinetry, soapstone counters and farm sink, a huge peninsula with seating, bead board backsplash, and skylights provide an efficient and inviting place in which to prep, cook, chat and eat. The front-to-back family room with stone fireplace has windows overlooking the beautiful bluestone patio with stone wall and slate seating ledge. A separate staircase leads to the primary bedroom suite that is a serene, private retreat with bedroom, bathroom, and a spacious walk-in closet. The original front staircase also leads to the second floor with another bedroom and hall bath plus an adjoining multi-purpose room possible studio, office, crafts room. The continuation of the stairs takes you to the third floor and two bedrooms with features t hat include pocket doors, built-ins, and thick window ledges showing the original end of the stone house. The rear addition to the house has a covered entry porch with antique light fixture, dinner bell and bead board ceiling. A vestibule entrance/mud room has stone floors a closet and provides entry to the rear of the house where you will find a charming laundry room, updated powder room and a floor-to-ceiling built-in hutch. Every inch of this home is extraordinary and so is the huge two-level stone barn. It could house horses and there once were six cows. Handmade nails, stairs to hay loft, office, incredible beams, stable areas, tack room, and doors out to paddock and fenced pasture. Dont miss the great chicken coop (w/chickens) and a hand water pump. So many opportunities for use!
