3143 Farm School Rd, Ottsville, PA 18942

This is a home that welcomes all. An inviting walkway lined with foundation and perennial gardens greets the 20 x 10 foot covered country-style front porch. The French glass front door opens to a large family room/living room with a wood burning fireplace. All rooms in the house have generous natural light with large windows and exceptionally beautiful view, particularly out the back which faces south east with gorgeous views of Bucks county farmland, rolling hills, woods and sun and moon rises. Shiny random width hardwood floors complement the bright light throughout the home. Beyond the living room is a dining room with beautiful rear views and a very large kitchen (14 x18) with oak KraftMaid cabinetry, quality Kenmore stainless steel appliances and a matching 3x6 kitchen island with a butcher block countertop. Down the hall follows a laundry room with an anti-room pantry with honey colored oak Kraftmaid cabinetry. A quaint, French pocketdoor divides the 2 spaces enabling the laundry area to be closed off for parties or limiting noise. The 3 bedrooms are generous in size, all with closet organizer units including the master walk-in closet. Handmaid solid maple doors with Baldwin hardware and custom room trim complement the bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry/pantry and hallway. The hallway bath has a solid maple double vanity which perfectly complements the handmade door and has chair-rail trimming providing a fresh colorful cottage motif. The master bath is similarly styled with a European style vanity and matching cabinetry in a cherry finish. A makeup nook with matching cabinetry and lighting is a nice surprise for the ladies which is discovered behind the door. Back in the kitchen area, the French paneled back door opens to a sweeping deck (~10x20) the stairs lead to the detached garage which has a covered porch. The garage has a tiled study area, tiled full bath in a cheerful cottage motif, shop/office area (12x19 feet). The shop has double French pocket doors which open into a 3 bay garage. An oversized pull down ladder in the middle of the garage brings you up to a large attic which is great for storage. The main house also has generous storage with a 30x50 dry unfinished basement and also an attic. Beyond the garage is an adorable custom made summer guest cottage with cedar roof, antique double French doors, cottage-style brackets and eaves. The cottage is divided into 2 rooms with a small loft. Currently, one room is used as a guest sleeping/socializing area and the other as storage but it could be easily converted into a 2 room cottage. Beyond the cottage is a generously sized Amish-built cedar garden shed with window boxes, shutters and quaint arch-topped side door. The front also has a ramp and large double doors for storing a garden tractor. The overall property is exceptionally diverse. The property is 10.4 acres on agricultural preservation easement which has kept taxes low. The residential area (apx 3 acres) has great curb appeal with foundation plantings and perennial gardens around the buildings, flowering Bradford pears, Indian Magic crab apples and Japanese maples to name a few of the established specimen trees. The side yard is shaded with mature pines and maples. A butterfly garden as well as a large raised box garden (with 6 boxes) is located in the back. Spanning from the residential areas are a couple of paths leading through cedar and hard wood woods where a small stream with bridge traverses the center of the woods. The path continues through the woods and leads to two large cultivated fields separated by poplars. The area is zoned such that a barn could be built in this area, raising much potential to convert the existing property into a horse property or farmette.
