About This Home

As of July 2025

Firefly Cottage... Step back in time in this beautifully preserved 1843 stone house, nestled on 1.6 acres of serene land backing up to Holicong Park. Boasting 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, this home exudes historic charm. The moment you walk in, you’ll be captivated by all the warm textures from the exposed stone walls, plaster and exposed beam ceilings, and the pumpkin pine floors that run throughout the home. The spacious living room is centered around a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, flanked with built-in bookcases that add to the cozy atmosphere. The adjacent eat-in kitchen is perfect for casual meals, while the formal dining room awaits for larger gatherings. The second level has 2 bedrooms that share a hall bath with handmade tile, and an en suite bedroom featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a private entrance—ideal for guest quarters or a tranquil retreat. Outside, enjoy the seasons with mature landscaping, and fenced-in garden, or explore the detached carriage house perfect for additional storage. A separate, fully equipped studio with heat, water, and electricity offers endless possibilities—whether for an artist’s workspace, home office, or guest suite. Located in the desirable Central Bucks School District and offering easy access to commuting routes, this home is a rare find. With direct access to Holicong Park from your back yard offering walking trails, tennis courts and a community garden, this is more than a house—it’s a lifestyle!
