About This Home

As of September 2017

Unifying nautical design cues with a natural wooded setting, this custom-designed architectural treasure is truly livable art. The vision of renowned artist David Ellsworth, Fox Creek is a secluded contemporary compound consisting of the three-bedroom home, two detached garages and two studio buildings on 20 subdividable acres surrounded by state park land and township open space land. Enter and be embraced by an artistic ambiance that will take your breath away! The open concept interior offers museum-quality design and custom features. The expansive great room has white oak floor, exposed beams and ponderosa pine tongue-and-groove ceiling, and a new propane stove with Carrera marble and Venetian glass hearth and zebra wood mantle. Huge picture windows frame the ever-changing natural landscape, drawing the outdoors in while taking advantage of a southern exposure for light-filled rooms. The dining area is open to the updated kitchen with abundant cabinets, granite counters, stainless appliances, maple island and Claro walnut breakfast bar. The sitting area has 2-story ceiling and through French doors is a cozy alcove leading to the expansive screened porch and gravel patio with waterfall. An office or 4th bedroom with tile floor, tiled full bath, and laundry room complete the main level. The open-tread African rosewood and hand-forged steel staircase delivers you to the second level gallery and loft with copper banister and porthole. Three bedrooms all with cork floors, exposed beams and pine board ceilings include the main bedroom with sitting area, WIC, covered balcony and open en suite featuring Mexican tile, curly maple and glass shower. Eco-friendly features include southern exposure, zoned propane heat with main floor radiant heat, new propane stove with blower, cork floors, whole-house generator, Verizon FIOS. The uniquely designed 1-car garage and the over-sized 2-car garage with attached shed both have electric. The adjacent 10-acre parcel comes with a 4-BR septic permit for possible subdivision and includes the heated 450 sf insulated studio or office building with loft, built-ins, metal roof, decking, clerestory windows and wall AC, and the 30'x30' shop building with wood/coal furnace and upstairs 900 sf finished gallery with barrel ceiling and office, balcony and wall AC. These buildings are serviced by separate 200-amp electric. Close to Lake Nockamixon and Lake Towhee, 90 min to NYC, 60 to Philadelphia. 10 min to amenities in Quakertown.
