About This Home

As of September 2020

Welcome to the perfect Upper Bucks County oasis nestled down a private paved lane on 7.25 wooded and secluded acres. A fusion of architecture and sophisticated style creates a study in texture and charm! The open plan is anchored by the original c1760s log house with rich wood floors, perfect as dining room or den, and flows into the c1860s stone addition living room with open beamed ceiling, fireplace and French doors to gardens. Mid-Century addition includes the sun room with radiant floor heat, window seating beneath walls of windows, and glass doors opening to the expansive cabled deck(26x20). The bright country kitchen beckons guests to gather around the island while the gourmet creates at the commercial-grade range. Features include stainless appliances, wainscoting, granite counters, subway tile back splash, and sun-filled bay window and seat. Upstairs are three charming bedrooms with built-ins and rich wood floors, and the hall bath with subway tile walls and large soaking tub. Excellent storage in the walk-up attic, or perhaps additional living space. The cottage, ideal too as a studio, is perfect for your weekend entourage. The walls are barn board and the floors are painted wood, the great room(23x19) has vaulted ceiling and wood stove, the full bath is Moravian tile lined, and there is a fourth bedroom loft(19x8). The well-designed landscape evokes calm and tranquility so desired today. A spring-fed pond and heated saline pool with automatic cover completes this wonderful property. An extensive list of included furnishings makes this a turn-key proposition. Enjoy the country aesthetic only 90 minutes to NYC, 75 to Philadelphia, 25 to Doylestown and the Lehigh Valley.
