Surrounded on three sides by 95 Acres of preserved land, and situated on 5+ acres, is a beautiful and historically restored, classic 18th Century Bucks County stone farmhouse. Built in 1752 with an 1850 addition, this house was lovingly brought back from ruins over a 5-year period by the owner/Architect. All systems and mechanicals are new: 400 amp underground electrical service, new plumbing with on-demand hot water system, bathrooms, HVAC, historically accurate insulated windows with custom made shutters, insulated roof with manufactured slate shingles and antique snow-guards, hand-seamed copper roofing on the reconstructed front porch, 5 bedroom capacity low-profile septic system, 400' deep well with 40 gallons/minute flow plus a separate well for gardening. The stucco was removed and the stone was exposed and re-pointed on both the exterior and interior walls. The stone chimneys were rebuilt, the 3 original fireplaces made fully functional, and the original, low-ceilinged basement dug down for ample head room and space for a possible wine cellar. The charming interior has beautiful views from every window. This home features 3 bedrooms, refinished 18thC chestnut and pine flooring, original mantles, woodwork, doors and hardware, new recessed and track lighting, and many other details. The sunny kitchen space is currently used as a landscape architect's office. The owner/Architect is providing a $25,000 kitchen allowance, not including appliances. Buyers can work with the assistance of owner/Architect or employ their own designer. Extensive re-grading was done to the grounds plus completely new landscaping and lawns with many ornamental trees and perennial beds as well as a new drive location. A stone patio runs the entire length of the house on the South side for open patio dining or future enclosed sunroom. Additionally there is a new wooden deck at the top of the barn ramp looking down into the parterre gardens below in the original, restored footprint of stone dairy barn. Bring your flower vases and shares to enjoy fresh cut flowers all season. This property is centrally located in Buckingham between the towns of New Hope, Newtown and Doylestown for shopping, restaurants and a full array of cultural activities. A wonderfully tranquil and bucolic setting for the Bucks County Antique home enthusiasts.
