Property Description
Look no further! This antique farmhouse, built in the 1890’s and expanded during the early 1900’s, is surrounded by the flora and fauna of nearly 5 acres of Bucks County countryside. This enticing property offers picturesque surroundings with a wooded backdrop, and separate living quarters for in-laws or extended family. Located at the end of a long driveway that winds past a spring-fed pond and between a 3 (or more) car garage, leading gently upwards and into the top level of the restored bank barn. The 4 bedroom home is 2,600 sq.ft. consisting of 3-stories with a full bathroom on each level, and has been updated and meticulously maintained by the current owners. Purists will savor the knotty pine plank wood floors, deep windowsills, and doors with original hardware. Exposed structural beams and beaded wall/ceiling boards compliment the origins and heritage of this home. The roomy kitchen features custom, solid wood cabinetry and granite counters. A center island provides seating and a farmhouse sink. Stainless steel appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, GE Monogram stove and double oven with hood. Open to the sun-filled breakfast room, surrounded by glass doors and panoramic views of lush lawn, perennial gardens, and raised vegetable beds fenced to discourage the abundant wildlife. A cozy family room has outside access to one of the decks, and leads into the sunroom. Conveniently located on the main level, a home office/study is enhanced with a decorative fireplace. A full bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and a large, full bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a vaulted ceiling with an open loft and glass doors to access a 2nd-story deck. The third floor provides another large bedroom and full bathroom. Multiple decks and terraces provide plenty of choices for outdoor enjoyment. Laundry facilities are located in the neat and tidy, concrete-floored basement with Bilco doors providing outside access. The detached garage has 10’ wide doors that could easily accommodate recreational vehicles and small boats. In addition to the garage space, double doors lead into a 19’ x 28’ workshop complete with electricity, propane heat, and an AC wall unit. The upper level presents an expansive, open space for parties (complete with a kitchenette and wood-burning stove) along with a full bathroom and the opportunity to customize to meet with the next owner’s needs. Car enthusiasts and other hobbyists will delight in transforming the 3,600 sq.ft. bank barn into a 10-12 car showroom - knowing that the structure will support automobiles on both levels! A secluded deck overlooks a small stream and rural, scenic beauty. The bank barn has its own utilities. There is a propane-powered generator that covers most essential power for both the house and garage, such as well pump, refrigerator, some lights, etc.. A small shed keeps tools handy for working in the gardens. This impressive property may be adapted for many flexible uses and poses endless possibilities for a full-time residence or country retreat. An ideal setting for those inspired by beauty and ambiance! Located just west of Historic Doylestown Borough and part of the award-winning Central Bucks School District, this is as convenient as country living gets. Sellers will provide satisfactory septic inspection report from Franc Environmental - available upon request. Location, Location, Location!
