Right across the street is Fonthill Castle and the Moravian Tile Works – a must see gem in Bucks County!
The front porch is welcoming and spacious – perfect for a morning coffee overlooking your personal view of Fonthill. Recessed lighting lights up this porch at night.

Gorgeous wood floors and large baseboards are in the main living area, which includes the living room and dining room. Vaulted ceilings feature beautiful wood beams, recessed lighting, and a ceiling fan. The kitchen has plenty of counter and cabinetry space as well as updated stainless-steel appliances. Through the kitchen, you’ll find a powder room, mud room, and the laundry area, with access to the back deck. The primary bedroom features the same wood floors and has room for office space if needed. The full bathroom has been recently updated with beautiful Mercer Tile in the shower and an updated vanity, flooring and fixtures. Head outside to the recently installed deck and you’ll see there is plenty of room for outdoor entertaining. The expansive driveway allows for plenty of parking as well.
