About This Home

As of August 2023

This is not your great-grandmother's Victorian. A rare find, Wheelbarrow Hill is a superbly updated estate residence on 12+ acres showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and a full suite of renovations, making it a picture-perfect Bucks County property. Enjoy panoramic views from the wrap-around porch of this striking 1890 Victorian-era home tucked privately away within the property's bucolic acreage. The home includes expansive and well proportioned living and entertaining spaces, an exquisitely appointed owner's suite, luxurious baths and plenty of room for family and guests. The highest quality mechanicals were installed, including hydronic radiant heated oak flooring and a new synthetic slate roof. Write a novel or house guests in the charming one-bedroom cottage. The big red Bucks County barn contains soaring open spaces with workshops including a high-ceiling 22’ x 42’ space and a 2-car garage. Explore the other useful outbuildings. Play tennis, pickleball, and other games on the sports court. The landscape is gently rolling with mature trees, open land, and oh…the views. Forest conservation keeps property taxes astonishingly low. This property is conveniently located a few minutes from New Hope and Doylestown boroughs and is 40 minutes to Princeton, 60 minutes to Philadelphia, 90 minutes to NYC.
