Sequestered at the end of a long country lane providing sheltered privacy is this marvelous home created from a barn, which once stood in Wrightstown Twp. Its interior structural elements were provided by materials dismantled in 1998, preserved & reconstructed on its present location. Use of large hand hewn post & frame beams, & thoughtfully placed windows flooding the interior provide a clean palate for both antique & contemporary furnishings. Focal point of remarkable residence is dramatic central clerestory space rising to a great height provided by a cathedral ceiling at its core. Use of blue stone & exceptionally handsome, random wide pine floors, weathered barn siding & barn doors add to its intrinsic aesthetic value. You are greeted by a perfectly primitive door entering the foyer w/ blue stone floor, mellow wood paneled walls & doors w/ antique hardware. Living rm. w/ fireplace is comprised of fieldstone taken from original barn foundation, marked by a date stone, "1814" below its mantle. Adjacent to fireplace is a wood storage area accessible from outside. Transom doorway w/ retractable awning opens to a inviting expansive brick terrace, wonderful for entertaining w/ pleasant views of meandering Primrose creek & mature trees on a berm. Significant floor to ceiling window beautifully compliments the large dining room. Fully equipped kitchen offers center island w/ pot rack, bar sink, rustic barn board cabinets, pantry storage & a pleasant breakfast area w/ exposed beams & vaulted ceiling is surrounded by wraparound windows. Cozy library w/ exposed beams provides built-in cabinetry & generous bookshelves w/ loft space above. There is a unique hidden entry to a sundrenched adjoining studio w/ vaulted ceiling & three walls of large windows. It offers many additional uses. Convenient first floor master bedroom suite w/ separate sitting/office space has generous storage space provided by a double, walk-in, & linen closets.
