Restoration Opportunity on 22+ Acres, Bucks County PA
;void(null))
Welcome to a Unique Opportunity to Create Your Own Bucolic Oasis. This historic Circa 1845 stucco over stone farmhouse, with multiple additions created over the generations, is available for the first time in over 50 years.
Privately sited in the midst of 22+ acres of gently rolling Bucks County countryside, this home replete with an additional 2 bedroom apartment carved out of the 2 story barn, awaits its next steward. The setting is classic Bucks County with peaceful country views, a natural pond, 2 wishing wells, & stands of mature trees peppering its fields.
Upon approach it's immediately evident that this is was a custom build for its time. While having fallen into disrepair & in need of a thorough restoration, much of the original character remains intact.
From its stylized 9-light main entry Dutch door w/transom & dual Living Room fireplaces (one featuring original Mercer tiles) to its thick stone walls w/deep window sills & quirky charms throughout - this is a project worthy of further inquiry. The generously scaled Living/Dining Room is the heart of this home from which each additional space is accessed.
The MAIN FLOOR Primary Bedroom with en-suite Full Bath is just one of many unique attributes rarely found in an antique property. The nicely segmented main floor layout would allow for an ease of daily living while affording a separation that is sorely lacking in many designs.
In planning for its eventual re-design, it's worth noting that the Kitchen DIRECTLY ADJOINS NEARLY ALL of the main floor spaces including the Living/Dining Room, the Primary Bedroom, the massive wrap around 4 season Sunroom, a Laundry/Utility space, a generous Office, Screened Porch & 2nd Sunroom. Please be sure to check out the floorplans in the documents section for further clarity on how each space relates to another.
Upstairs are 3 additional good size Bedrooms & a full hall Bath. The walk-up Attic is a finished space with 2 large Cedar Closets. The separate barn building features a full apartment with 2 bedrooms, a living room, kitchen & full bath. The apartment benefits from having its own septic & private well, legally granted when it was originally outfitted in the 60's. (Please check with the township for the current licensing requirements.)
The 2-story barn also houses an oversized 1 car garage, a workshop, utility room, oversized farm equipment storage areas & an open second story fly space. If privacy & serenity in your daily life are important to you, then you may well have just found your next property.
Being Sold "As-Is", with the township's U&O inspections/occupancy certificate requirements being the Buyer's responsibility. The land is not subdividable.
