Creative inspiration! Where art and history converge, The James A. Michener House, built in 1949 by Herman Silverman, is perfect for those looking for a creative hideaway and to own a piece of history. The home, which sheltered one of the most influential authors of our time, is on the market for the first time in 25 years. Down a winding driveway and situated on almost 37 acres on a rural road in the heart of Bucks County, this sprawling mid-century modern ranch has warmth and character with stone walls, wood lined ceilings and the original chestnut wood built-in cabinetry, commissioned by Michener, that fill most rooms and provide a smooth transition from the surrounding landscape. The home was inspired by a visit to Falling Water and designed by famed architect and colleague of Michener, William Vitarelli and highlights wonderful, flexible space that includes high ceilings, 2 gorgeous stone fireplaces, 4 bedrooms, and 4 full bathrooms. Purposefully configured with walls of windows drenching it with natural light, creating a treehouse effect and offering tremendous inspiration. The kitchen encapsulates the original mid-century modern charm with vintage appliances and original wood cabinets. The great room offers an unparalleled view of the Bucks County landscape from the floor to ceiling windows that overlook the grounds and convenient access to the outdoor terrace. The surrounding woods allow the home a unique privacy where lush vegetation and a stream running through the property are a constant natural inspiration. Begin each day walking the original 1-mile path where Michener walked his dogs. Additional amenities include a 2 car attached and 2 car detached garage, outdoor dining room offering wonderful solitude and original Sylvan crafted pool. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a wonderfully tranquil property filled with natural beauty, inspiration, and history!
