Gorgeous 5-6 BR family house and property + great kid-friendly neighborhood + location, location, location = a great family home. Location: 8 minutes from trains to Philadelphia and New York City. Door-to-door, Manhattan's Penn Station is 75 minutes away by Amtrak; Philly, 50 minutes by local trains. Location: Nestled in a prestigious Bucks County neighborhood that looks a lot like a botanical garden as the seasons change -- full of large trees and flowering shrubs -- where kids can ride their bikes on safe, low-traffic streets. Location: A corner lot where the school bus stops, just a 5-minute walk from the local convenience store. Originally built as a ranch in 1952, a second story was added in 1989 and for a time was used as an in-law suite. The large upstairs "living room" can double as a very large bedroom (#6). The basement is huge. Carpets and painting are new. Beautiful stone fireplace in the expansive living room + built-ins. Fenced back yard with a very large, spectacular 3-year-old wooden swingset for the young ones. Deck and fish pond. There is a very well-constructed stick-built shed on the property. All appliances included. Near everything. Oil heat. Central A/C. And five giant pin oak trees palisade the front yard. You can find bigger, newer houses nearby, but no contemporary builder can duplicate the warmth and beauty of this home in this neighborhood of unique homes amidst a kid-friendly, garden-like environment lovingly built since the '50s and '60s by the residents of Bensalem's Glenn Ashton Farms. Take long walks and enjoy! Neighborhood Description It's a uniquely beautiful neighborhood -- great for long walks. Spring and autumn are exceptionally beautiful here. Most homes are on half an acre, and no two are alike. They were mostly built in the 1950s and 1960s by individual owners, so you don't get that "cookie cutter" feeling that is all but overwhelming in most new developments that builders put up. Many big, old trees and even patches of woods survive in Glen Ashton Farms. The streets are uncluttered, since just about everyone has a garage and adequate off-street parking. Speed limits are 15mph throughout, and kids can ride bikes quite safely.
