The Thomas Buckman home, circa 1800, is a quintessential Bucks County stucco over stone Federal style home offering the perfect balance of old-world charm and modern amenities. The original home blends seamlessly with the newer additions, and has been lovingly maintained by the current owners. A bright foyer invites you to enter through the original double front entry doors as you take notice of the classic pumpkin pine floors and architectural millwork. Relax with guests in the original living space featuring traditional built-ins and stone fireplace with gas line, before enjoying a meal in the dining room. A private home office, accessed from the living room, includes a separate entrance. The spacious rear addition offers a kitchen with solid wood cabinets, stainless appliances, center island and beverage bar, as well as an adjoining great room with expansive picture window that showcases the amazing one-acre property bursting with vivid perennials, extensive vegetable and fruit gardens, and a number of specimen trees. A convenient mud/laundry room, with laundry chute from upper level, provides access to the side entry and oversized two car detached garage with new Hardie Plank siding. Below this lovely addition is a finished lower level with yet another office space and/or home gym. Ascend the center staircase to the second level boasting a generous sized main bedroom with en-suite, spacious walk-in closet, plus built-in cupboards and shelving. A second bedroom offers an additional walk-in closet. Completing this second level is a guest bedroom with a private balcony overlooking the rear grounds, and a convenient hall bath. On the spacious, yet cozy, third level is a charming fourth bedroom with dormers and window seat, plus an additional room that provides a closet and abundant storage space. There are endless opportunities for your outdoor enjoyment and entertaining with a screen porch, stone patio and a built-in fire pit. The fully fenced rear yard is ideal for pets and for gardening and hobbies. A tremendous amount of storage space is offered in the two basements, attic, garage, as well as the numerous closets and built-ins available in many rooms. This amazing property provides an easy country lifestyle within minutes of Historic Newtown Borough, several parks, plus major commuting routes and train stations to Philadelphia, Princeton and New York. The current owners converted the home to natural gas, installed a high-efficiency gas boiler and Kohler generator for added convenience, and replaced the windows for additional efficiency. A traditional stucco craftsman repointed the stone and replaced the stucco on the historic home, which is warrantied, and resurfaced the original basement walls. This lovely historic home has been meticulously maintained and is ready for you to move in and enjoy the natural beauty in all four seasons! Worth Noting: The septic system is a modern sand mound system. There are 2 tanks that pump out to the sand mound that is far back on the property. The historic barn on the adjacent property is being restored and the owners are building a small home further back on their property later this year.
