About This Home
As of May 2016Elegance. Grandeur. History. The wonderful aura of Colonial history is abundant on this private estate in Doylestown Borough. Original field-stone walls accent modern living spaces with high ceilings, and abundant windows. A seamless evolution of classic details and modern amenities, the home has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded through its life and is ready for a modern family. The new kitchen featuring Wolf Appliances and ample custom cabinetry will excite the most discerning chef. A delightful house for entertaining, the open floor plan flows seamlessly along a wall of windows from the eat-in kitchen, through the dining room, family room, and living room. Natural light abounds and invites you to the home's amazing outdoor living spaces including the court-yard patio with gas hook-ups and natural privacy. 3 wood-burning fireplaces, random width hardwood floors, and extensive custom woodworking compliment the entire main level. A 2009 2-story addition expanded the kitchen and added a first-floor master bedroom and walk-in closet with wood floors and windows galore over-looking mature trees and beautiful scenery. The en-suite master bath features high-end fixtures, tiled shower and soaking tub. Two staircases lead upstairs where you will find 4 additional bedrooms including 2 guest suites featuring dual walk-in closets and bathrooms en-suite. The versatile floorplan allows for home occupation, comfortable long term guests, in-laws or au-pairs. The original barn still graces the property and offers a spacious 3-car garage, and amazing potential for studio space, gallery, large gatherings and more. Originally conveyed by William Penn to Bucks County's earliest settlers, one of the original owners sheltered and cared for General Washington and his troops on their way to Trenton. This is your chance to own part of Bucks County's History.
