About This Home

As of September 2016

Welcome to Furlong Cottage, circa 1800. This lovely 3 bedroom Quaker Style Stone Farmhouse nestled on 2.58 acres is quite magical in its simple charm and quiet beauty. Set back off the road and down a large driveway, the stucco-over-stone home is entered through a flagstone walkway & small flagstone porch framed by low stacked stone walls and surrounded by an expansive lawn both in front and back and majestic trees & perennial sun and shade gardens. The main floor boasts exquisite original wide-planked wood flooring and five lovely rooms: an ample-sized eat in kitchen with stunning walk-in fireplace, newer stainless steel appliances and gas cooking; off kitchen you'll find a "butlers' pantry" /mud room which offers additional cabinetry/storage and laundry facilities; a lovely dining room with built-ins and mantle leading to a pleasant & comfortable Living Room as well as a fabulous heated sunroom which overlooks the gorgeous, expansive backyard(currently being used as an office, we don't believe heated room's square footage is included in public records) When walking through the house, there is no doubt you will be charmed by all the architectural details farmhouse lovers crave, including lots of deep windows/window sills (providing incredible natural light), wide plank floors throughout, FIVE charming fireplaces (some closed off), beautiful built-ins & original antique hardware & exposed beams. Upstairs features three nice-sized bedrooms and a lovely full bath with tub/shower, as well as a walk up attic which could easily be transformed into an additional bedroom suite or large playroom. Back outside you will find a charming flagstone screened in porch off of the family room as well as a large detached garage with horse stall off the driveway. Seller has recently made several substantial improvements to the property including the installation of a brand new septic system (FOUR bedroom capacity), a newer Heating system, updated slate roof, electric and plumbing updates, and more. All this and a tremendous location -- lightly traveled road yet close to everything: shopping/dining/arts/culture of Doylestown and New Hope, off the beaten path but close to major highways for easy travel to NJ, NYC & Phila; and award- winning Central Bucks Schools. THIS HOUSE & LAND HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER - - A RARE FIND AT THIS PRICE! Get away from the hustle and bustle of city life & purchase a little piece of history...and a little slice of heaven!
