About This Home

As of April 2018

A functional layout brings this authentic 1800's Bucks County Fieldstone Farmhouse seamlessly into the 21st century. Thick stone walls provide deep dramatic window sills and random width plank flooring runs throughout. Hand hewn support beams, exposed stone walls and original hardware serve as reminders of the home's history. The wing for the family room and master bedroom was a more recent addition in 1979, using materials and design to perfectly blend with the home's character. A wood burning stove insert has been added to the living room fireplace and supplements the 3-zoned oil hot water radiator heat (new oil tank 2016). 2-zoned high velocity central air was installed in 2007. The kitchen has beautiful custom cabinetry with a built-in table. A turned wooden stairwell leads upstairs to the home's bedrooms, where sunlight drenches the master bedroom through two strategically placed picture windows with panoramic views of the property throughout the day. A dedicated bathroom is located in the master bedroom, while the remaining two bedrooms share the large hall bathroom. The basement/lower level consists of a one-car garage, laundry area, and finished room currently used as an office. A covered back porch and flagstone patio overlook pristine landscaping with mature plantings and flowering trees, and a stream that runs along the edge of the property with a picturesque springhouse and separate tool shed. The guest cottage has many original architectural details, a full kitchen, a living room, one bedroom plus den, a full bathroom, basement and an attached 1-car garage. The guest cottage was previously rented & was recently added to the Doylestown Twp list of Legal Non-Conformities (see attached document) so it can continue to be offered as a rental property. It also offers many other uses, including a perfect home office, craft space or guest quarters. All buildings have slate roofs. Main house has lightening rods. Located just a mile outside of Historic Doylestown at the edge of an established neighborhood in award winning Central Bucks School District. Lovingly cared for by the same family for over 50 years, every part of this property has been meticulously maintained. This property is now offered at an exceptional price and offers a great opportunity for the discerning future homeowner.
