Full of unique charm, this sprawling home offers a taste of Bucks County history paired with modern amenities and the finishing touch of an artisan’s care. The curved drive welcomes you into the foot of the woods of the Buckingham Mountain, with almost four acres of private space on which to retreat and recharge. Dappled sunlight pours in between the mature trees to illuminate the lush shaded gardens surrounding the home. Built in three iterations, the first portion of the home is filled with lovingly maintained Early American Charm and the home is tied together by the wide-pine flooring that is featured throughout most of the home. You’re welcomed across a front porch and into the newest portion of the home: a two-story addition, built in 2007, this masterfully finished section provides a large Vermont slate foyer, a main-level family /Media room with walls of windows and a wet bar featuring leathered granite countertops and custom-made cherry cabinetry. Tucked away is a quiet main-level bedroom with pocket door private access to a full bathroom. To the left of the entrance, take a step up into the heart of the home. Framed by exposed antique barn beams, a large “walk-in” deep stone fireplace with a modern wood stove insert and custom cherry mantle, a large bow window, the open great room and dining area set the stage for gatherings both formal and informal. Around the corner, a breakfast room is flooded with light and is easily served by the adjacent kitchen, fully remodeled in 2003. Here, the home chef will enjoy professional-grade appliances, including a commercial-size Thermador Professional 6 burner gas range with griddle and two ovens, a Rangemaster hood, a new stainless dishwasher, apron-front sink, French-door refrigerator, antique brick flooring, a generous island, beautiful soapstone counters and extra deep cabinets. Extra storage is out of sight in an organized and accessible walk-in pantry room with cabinetry and shelving. Built in circa 1750’s, the oldest section sits opposite the kitchen and is graced with lovely views of the mountainside. Here, two lower level rooms, one with a decorative fireplace, provides exceptionally thick hand-plaster-over-stone walls, deep window sills and some original random width flooring. Perfect as a home office and meditation or reading room, they are divided by a staircase to the second level. Upstairs, in the newest section of the home, relax in the serene and spacious main bedroom with extra-large, organized walk-in closet and large en-suite bath with large frameless glass walk-in shower, finished in Vermont green slate tile, and includes dual, custom cherry vanities, honed granite surfaces and a generous walk-in closet with both hanging and drawer storage. Across from the bedroom is a home office space that would also work nicely as a nursery. The quiet area upstairs also includes the original main bedroom and two other bedrooms. Off the hallway and balcony pass, there is a full hall bath with both a shower and a whirlpool tub & a convenient upper-level laundry room. The lower level original basement houses the mechanicals for the home. For the hobbyist and creator, a fully heated and air conditioned garage space awaits. Most recently used as a woodworking shop, two of the three bays of the garage have been combined to provide an open, accessible and well-lit area that would function nicely as an art studio or craft shop. The third bay remains as a garage space for parking. The upper level of the garage is open for storage and includes a cedar storage closet. The most enchanting part of the home, however, remains in the established and picturesque acreage that surrounds the property. You’ll be able to escape into nature in just a few steps, while still being close to wineries, commuting routes, & iconic towns like downtown New Hope, Newtown, Doylestown, Lahaska & Princeton. Perfect as a home, artisan haven or retreat. See Special Features List in Docs
