About This Home

As of April 2020

Escape to the woods of Upper Bucks County. This wood-sided Contemporary is set back from the road for privacy and delivers 4,358 sf of casual living, offering an updated kitchen and bathrooms and energy-efficient passive solar design, plus wood-burning stove in the great room and pellet stove in the finished lower level. The post-and-beam design with walls of windows and vaulted ceiling creates light-filled and open spaces that bring the verdant outdoors in. The main floor is open concept, ideal for today's lifestyle. The sun room entry with boardwalk plank flooring flows effortlessly to great room with gleaming hardwood floor and wood stove, to granite and stainless kitchen with Dacor double ovens, to dining room with tile floor and glass slider to the deck, perfect for al fresco ambiance. There is a quiet office with an attached foyer with marble floor and powder room, ideal for client entry. Conveniently located on the main floor is a bedroom suite with full bath and study opening to the sun room. Upstairs is the main bedroom suite with luxurious spa bath with Maax tub and radiant floor heat, huge dressing room/closet, and access to the upstairs sun room. There is a cozy loft library overlooking the great room, and two additional bedrooms and updated hall bath. The expansive finished lower level has separate entrance from the driveway and a pellet stove. 2-car detached garage with a 2nd floor is ready for your plans. Additionally, the carriage house with LP heat and AC provides room for 2+ autos, gym, studio or a multitude of possibilities, and has a finished 2nd level, currently used as a spacious office. This building has separate electric service and is pre-plumbed for a bathroom. The entire property is serviced by an automatic generator for peace of mind. Decks surrounding the house step down to the open front lawn with fire pit while a second open lawn area is the ideal spot amidst the woods for a pool or outdoor activities. A country creek traverses a portion of the property.
