pine plank floors throughout the house, wood beams, plaster over stone walls, solid wood doors,
period hardware, and two fireplaces are highlights of one of the oldest and most picturesque
houses on one of the most scenic and old roads in Solebury. Stone stacked walls, landscaping, a
creek, front and rear entrances, and a 270 sq ft cottage set back from the house. To enter the house in the
front, open the vintage iron gate to a bluestone patio leading past a reflecting pool and to the
