This late circa18th early 19th century fieldstone & frame farmhouse with thoughtfully dovetailed later addition is a Bucks County Classic! It rests on almost 15 glorious acres with scenic vistas of a sweeping meadow, towering trees & borders the Neshaminy creek. A garden area of ornamental shrubbery, tall trees, perennials add to the visuals & charm of this lovely property. So many of its fine Period features have been respected & preserved. Wide pine floors throughout, beautifully detailed fireplaces, raised panel cupboards & doors, deep windowsills, beaded paneling are only a few of its many remarkable qualities adding to its personality throughout the earliest section of this marvelous home. Brick walkways take you to both an expansive covered rocking chair front porch as well as a covered side porch. A welcoming entrance room and its large fireplace with porcelain stove & brick hearth sets the stage to enjoy antique elements produced at a time of pride in traditional craftsmanship. The focal point of the adjacent living room with chair rail & beaded wall of paneling is a huge walk-in fireplace with remnants of the old bake oven & crane for holding pots. The dining room is complemented with an elegantly columned mantled fireplace, paneled cabinetry, hand forged chandelier & designer wall covering. Both the living room & dining room have refined higher ceilings and formally cut pine floors. An office, study or flex space room with early mantled fireplace as well as kitchen can be accessed from the dining room by separate doorways. The adjacent addition marries old & new. It offers both the aesthetics of dramatic open & airy vaulted/cathedral ceilings, expansive walls of glass bringing the outside in and at the same time offering both practicality & functionality. The kitchen is a delight to the eye with an exposed stone wall, a large center island counter with farm sink, cathedral ceiling, huge, exposed hand cut beams, and custom & accent lighting.
