About This Home

As of March 2015

A true Bucks County Classic, this charming Circa 1880 farmhouse is located in the quaint village of Forest Grove in Buckingham Township. A spacious 3-bedroom, 1.5 baths, updated farmhouse sits on 1/4 acre, welcoming the gardener or mini-farmette enthusiast who has a passion for gardening on that "special" plot of land. Secluded backyard enchants with a brick patio and private cedar fenced-in area, perfect for bird- watching and barbecuing, adjoined by a secluded wooded lot. The vintage detached 2 car garage with the modern conveniences and plenty of storage. The interior of the house exudes warmth, character and rustic charm with much of the original pumpkin pine wood floors throughout. Sit by the fire in the large eat-in kitchen while sipping morning coffee or tea. Details include local Mercer tile counters and backsplash, modern appliances, renovated powder room, and pantry closet. Gather around the stone fireplace in the flexible living-dining-and entertaining space of the Great Room. Large windows adorn each room allowing for plenty of sunlight throughout. Upstairs are 3 generous-sized bedrooms, each with individual closets; and a fully remodeled hall bath. Bring the outside indoors with the unique attached glass solarium. Start your plantings early by utilizing the space year round or just sit and enjoy nature in comfort with protection from the weather. A "Pottery Barn Backdrop" within award-winning Central Bucks School District, and just 5 minutes from historical Doylestown Borough where you can enjoy great culture, entertainment and restaurants. LOW TAXES $2,363/yr and motivated seller. Also available for LEASE/PURCHASE as well as RENT for $1500/mth see MLS 6461078. Move in ready, available now.
