Description
Come see a 19th century farmhouse with old world charm mixed with Bucks County folk craftsmanship - from etched stained-glass windows to the Mercer tiled hearth to the hand railing made from pipe. The current basement opens out to ground level in rear, where earliest construction (c.1850) probably began in room with open fireplace, then built up 2 stories, later expanding to current +G+T+G- formation. Unfinished random width pine floors in some rooms. Old glass in Italianate style windows. Evidence of 2 door entrance to original structure - historically a sign that a house had multiple rooms and/or 1 door for formal, the other for daily use. Construction materials from local brickworks were used due to status symbol of brick houses in mid -19th century. Walls constructed with 2 layers of brick, then covered with stucco c. 1940+GGs when white houses became popular! Experience classic warmth of exposed brick and old hardwood. Plenty of character in the bay window with window seat and a brick hearth with wood stove in the kitchen. Where once there were 4 bedrooms - one per window, now there are two spacious bedrooms with great closet space, and a 3rd bedroom steps down from main hall, but formerly was accessed from the kitchen with winding stairs in the original structure. The current owners have been stewards for 48 years, raising their family while enjoying the 1.5 lush acres. This house is a gem for adding your own signature of creative care to what past owners have accomplished already!
