About This Home

As of November 2018

SALE PENDING. A flawless marriage of modern amenities and old world charm comes to life in this creatively-restored Bucks County farmhouse. Sunset Ridge rests on a quiet country road in picturesque Springfield Township and blends the legacy of days past with today's essential comforts. A 2009 addition to the circa 1770 dwelling brings generous and stylish living space to the home's original footprint. Three levels with five bedrooms, three full baths and plentiful storage assure all will feel pampered here. The walk-in fieldstone fireplace and beehive oven of a former summer kitchen is now the extraordinary focal point in the gourmet kitchen. Granite countertops, sleek appliances, and a reproduction farm sink strike a perfect balance with the random width wood floors, beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and deep windowsills that grace the interior. A beautifully-appointed master bedroom suite has a cathedral ceiling, full tile shower with dual heads, jetted tub, and his and her closets. The third floor offers two bedrooms and overlooks the scenic countryside. Outdoors, a lovely side porch runs the length of the home. A covered deck, framed by pear, cherry and maple trees is the perfect spot to enjoy amazing sunset views. The remnants of a bank barn, a shed for storing gardening essentials, and a whimsical outhouse hint at the property's mid-1700's origins. Located in the Palisades school district, Sunset Ridge is a rare and welcome find with convenient access to Philadelphia, New York and the greater Lehigh Valley.
