About This Home

As of June 2017

Imagine what a Buckingham Township map from 1857 might look like, then use the icon above the photos to view the aerials of this property. You will see the all the open space and the views that still exist on Lower Mountain Road. {note: video text says 2 baths, there are 3 full bathrooms} The history of the property tells a story of former owners just loving it here ? they stayed for years. Designed by Architect Alfred Boell, this 1960's ranch home retains many of the architect's charming features including random width flooring. Everything you need is on one floor, but a full walk-out lower level including an attached 2-car garage. You will find just the right amount of shade, bird feeders and perennial gardens as you enjoy the outdoors and the in-ground Sylvan pool. It is truly a tranquil setting. If you enjoy working from home, a short stroll through an enclosed walkway will take you to private quarters where you can design and create. This home is a short ride to the county seat of Doylestown, and in reach of New Hope, Princeton, and Philadelphia. Lookaway Golf Club is the closest "private equity" golf course, and Buckingham Township is home to Peddlers Village, Penn's Purchase and dining at all price-points. We know the school district of Central Bucks speaks for itself. You will find peace here and you will appreciate the care and maintenance taken of this home. Square footage is deemed accurate, however buyers should confirm for themselves. Property taxes are estimated by the County of Bucks based on assessed value. Public records shows a VA tax exemption. OFFERING A ONE YEAR HOME WARRANTY INCLUDING SWIMMING POOL AND WELL PUMP, (More fully detailed in the HOME BOOK). Please don't miss this one.
