About This Home

As of August 2025

Nestled in the heart of the countryside, 3864 Spring Valley Road is a rare and enchanting 1851 stone farmhouse set on 12 acres of pristine, peaceful land. This timeless estate perfectly balances historic charm, elegant craftsmanship, and luxurious country living. The home was proudly featured as the 2012 Designer House. The home’s classic Pennsylvania exterior and surrounding natural beauty welcome you from the moment you arrive. Stone walkways lead through vibrant gardens, past mature trees and flowering shrubs, guiding you toward a brick patio that wraps around the rear of the home, ideal for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, or festive evening hours. Original hardwood floors run throughout, giving each room warmth and rich character. Two exquisite Mercer tile fireplaces serve as unique focal points, offering beauty and timeless craftsmanship. The main living areas are light-filled and open, designed to take full advantage of the views and the peaceful atmosphere. The living room is welcoming and relaxed, with large windows and one of the home’s signature fireplaces. The formal dining room is perfect for gatherings and holidays. At the same time, the kitchen blends classic charm with tasteful updates, with custom cabinetry and a quaint breakfast nook. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a private fireplace, an elegant ensuite bath, and tranquil views of the surrounding property. An additional four to five spacious bedrooms are filled with natural light and five and a half beautifully appointed bathrooms, offering comfort and charm for family or guests. A first-floor ADA-compliant bedroom suite has been added for in-laws or guests. 2 full basements, one finished with a fireplace and a wine cellar, provide a beautiful area for wine tastings and movie viewing. Beyond the home, the estate offers a lifestyle of relaxation and recreation. A gorgeous heated inground saltwater swimming pool lies just beyond the main house, surrounded by mature plantings and open skies. This outdoor space adds a luxurious touch to the serene setting, including an adjacent fishpond. On the property is a classic bank barn, offering tremendous versatility. Whether you’re an equestrian enthusiast, a hobbyist, or need additional storage or workshop space, the barn is full of possibilities. The surrounding acreage offers a mix of open meadows, wooded areas, and garden beds-perfect for gardening, outdoor activities, or simply soaking in the natural surroundings. The large, fenced pastures provide open space for dogs to run or horses to graze. This home is not just a residence- it is a living piece of history, lovingly maintained for modern living. Whether searching for a country retreat, a private family estate, or a home that inspires creativity and calm, this remarkable property invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy life at its most authentic and beautiful. The benefits of solitude and country-living are just 5 minutes from Doylestown Borough, where you can enjoy restaurants and shops, and just minutes from Peddler’s Village and New Hope. This home has a huge whole-house generator, the best of all homes. Video and Floor are attached.
