This picturesque estate reminiscent of an English country Gentleman's Farm epitomizes quintessential Bucks County. Much admired, the estate is situated on two of the prettiest roads in the county and is beautifully designed to cascade into the hillside. Its location atop the hill & its abundance of windows fills the house with light & allows for commanding views of the valley below. Not just beautiful, the property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. With keystones dating the home to 1731 and the barn to 1728, the original buildings pre-date the American Revolution.
