A wonderful Victorian Farmhouse with a wraparound front porch, barn, outbuildings and a fantastic property with an assortment of fruit trees and other plantings. This home has been lovingly cared for and well maintained, including a new septic (2021), heating system (2017), new well pump and storage tank (2017), new hot water heater (2018) and a newer roof just a few years earlier. This home truly reflects the charm and many original features of the era. The enormous family room boasts exposed beams, skylights, a stone fireplace with a highly efficient wood burning insert for those chilly days and doors to the bright and airy sunroom. Most of the main level features hardwood floors. The large eat-in kitchen with great cabinets easily accommodates a large table, or flow right into the formal dining room with built-ins. You’ll enjoy the flexibility of the floor plan with additional rooms on the main level including a study/den and a living room (with one currently set up as a main level bedroom). Additional large bedrooms upstairs are also bright and airy and a 2nd floor laundry provides great convenience. The attic is floored and insulated, giving you endless more opportunities. The barn with newer doors is ready for you to use as a work area or storage, and the second floor of the barn is partially finished with separate rooms offering you even more flexibility for additional storage or work space. Additional buildings on the property include a large workshop (or potting shed) and another open storage shed. The large deck enables you to overlook the property with apple, peach, plum and cherry trees, mulberries and raspberries, grapes, flowers and lilacs, all providing a glorious display of blooms and plenty of fresh items to enjoy all season long. Conveniently located near commuting routes yet this home and property will still provide you with that “Bucks County Charm”. Village Commercial zoning provides you with more possibilities.
