Property Description
Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Bucks County, this historically significant estate—originally part of a William Penn land grant—offers an extraordinary fusion of Pre-Revolutionary architecture and modern comforts. Just an hour from NYC via Amtrak and close to Philadelphia, New Hope, and Princeton, this stunning stone farmhouse, adorned with a prestigious Historic Bucks County Conservancy plaque, invites you to own a piece of American history. The grand three-story stone farmhouse, built in three distinct eras (Pre-1775, 1847, and 1890), weaves centuries of history into a magnificent residence. The original section features a thoughtfully updated kitchen, retaining its historical essence while offering modern conveniences, authentic pine floors, deep stone stucco windowsills, and a walk-in wood-burning fireplace complemented by a massive native wood beam, revealing the charm of original ax marks and a swinging iron crane. This section brims with character, featuring warming cupboards and antique metal latches. The 1847 addition, a stately Bucks County Ashlar stone masterpiece, exudes timeless elegance. Soaring ceilings and a central foyer unveil beautifully restored parlors—now serving as an elegant formal dining room with an added powder room and a living room. Restored rolled glass windowpanes frame breathtaking views of mature trees and distant preserved farmland, creating a tranquil backdrop. The seamless transition to the 1890 expansion unveils another private living area, featuring a cozy library, a first-floor en-suite bedroom blending grandeur and comfort, along with a mudroom for main-level laundry—ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodations. A wooden staircase leads to the second-floor, where five spacious rooms provide perfect bedrooms or home offices. The primary suite boasts an adjacent walk-in dressing room and two full bathrooms complete the second level. The third floor presents three expansive attic areas, easily convertible into living spaces. The 1890 third level bonus room, equipped with air conditioning and heat, offers year-round comfort, with views reminiscent of a treehouse. The estate encompasses multiple buildings, including a three-story stone bank barn, a stone carriage house with covered parking for two cars, a detached cinder block carport offering three parking spots, a 1722 stone cottage summer house with a fireplace, a corn crib, a woodshed with smokehouse, and four in-situ wells. A circular driveway provides ample parking, while the property's lush, mature landscaping flourishes through a 16-station irrigation system from its own well. Sprawling grounds invite endless possibilities. The summer kitchen cottage, just across the flagstone patio accompanied by a composite deck, offers a canvas for transformation into a guesthouse or creative studio with existing septic and water hookups. Lovingly maintained for years, you can feel assured knowing all maintenance has been addressed with care! Major improvements include the meticulous rebuilding of all 44 windows using exquisite antique rolled glass, a 350-foot well (02) new holding tank installed (21), upgrades to the roofs, septic (21), waterproofing, a Generac generator, and more! Surrounded by 45 acres of preserved land, this enchanting estate harmoniously balances formal elegance and rustic charm. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, this home presents an unparalleled lifestyle opportunity in a serene, commuter-friendly location.
