About This Home

As of December 2014

A truly unique opportunity like this doesn't come along every day. Welcome to 118 Sycamore, a gracious 6 bdrm home in pristine condition w/all the charm of yesteryear combined w/ modern amenities for today's discerning buyer looking for something special. Ideally located in the quaint town of Riegelsville in Upper Bucks County, a place that is rapidly evolving & growing in popularity, partially due to its close proximity to NYC (approx. 60 mins) & Philadelphia (approx 90 min) as well as Doylestown & revitalized Lehigh Valley: not only does the town draw attention as a peaceful & tranquil oasis because of the Delaware waterways & surrounding rolling hills, but also because it is a true boro town where one is still able to walk a few blocks to get a bite to eat or drink, take in a local festival right outside your door or bike ride along Delaware Canal. The home itself affords one many possibilities. Built in 1880 for a town doctor & his family, where he used the smaller side of the home as his office, and many years later his son expanded it. Over the course of time, it has been used as an In-Law Suite & at times as a duplex, where the smaller side sets up as a fully appointed 2 bdrm 1.5 bath rental home (known to rent for approx $1100/mo) In its original state as a single family structure it boasts over 3000'ft w/ a total of 13 rooms: its flooded w/ natural light & features fireplace, curved archways, crown moldings & HW floors throughout. Everything has been meticulously maintained & updated in recent years: there's a Fabulous EI Kitchen, new custom wet bar, fresh paint inside & out and 4 renovated bathrooms. There's more: the house sits on a lovely 1/2 acre lot where beautiful trees & plantings abound; you'll find a free standing potting shed w/ root cellar, and a 3000'ft converted 5 bay horse & buggy barn where the previous architect/owner transformed a portion of it into a fantastic, spacious office/studio by adding in-floor radiant heat, underground electric, data, water & partially roughed-in plumbing. In addition to the office, there remain 3 garages, 2 of which are currently being rented out for aaprox $150/mo each. Renting out either the office and/or garages for an additional $700/mo or more only enhances the attractiveness of this property and its countless possibilities. There's so much more, but it must be seen and experienced to understand and truly appreciate. Make your appointment today. You will not regret it.
