Welcome to Rose Lawn – Where History and Modern Luxury Converge Step into a legacy of timeless elegance at Rose Lawn, a rare gem blending 19th-century grandeur with the comforts of today. Originally built in 1877 by Garret B. Girton and once hailed by the Newtown Enterprise as “Among the Best Houses in the Place,” this storied estate proudly anchors the edge of charming Forest Grove Village. Meticulously restored, this six-bedroom, 3.5-bath masterpiece spans 3,500 square feet across three beautifully finished levels. Period details—graceful trimwork, handcrafted railings, and stunning staircases—honor the home’s heritage, while brand-new systems (roof, windows, siding, plumbing, electric, HVAC, and septic) offer peace of mind and turnkey ease. Nestled on 4.5 scenic acres, the property offers room to roam or the potential to subdivide and build a second home. The fully rebuilt 1800s Pennsylvania Dutch bank barn is a showstopper—awaiting your creative touch as a guest retreat, car collector’s haven, or inspiring event space. Need more room to work or create? The oversized detached garage features approximately 1,000 sq ft below and 600 sq ft above—ideal for a home office, artist’s studio, or expansive storage. A credit of $30,000 is now offered by the Seller, for further finishing the barn. Rose Lawn is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Come write your next chapter in one of Bucks County’s most treasured estates.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
