Past is meticulously melded with present in this white-glove-renovated 18th-century stone farmhouse. The home was built in circa 1731, when the thirteen American colonies were still under British control; when Ben Franklin opened the first library in America; when George Washington was only just born, and still Mozart wasn’t born for another 25 years!  With all of these fantastic vittles of historic significance, the warmth and clever construction of the home offer a timelessness that transcends its history. The farmhouse rests on a hamlet of lush landscape, abutting a creek, offering an oasis of retreat, complete with an in-ground pool and waterfall feature. Mature trees gracefully fan out over the glade to add shade, color, and texture to the secluded landscape. The detached barn, with loft storage above, can serve as a garage, a studio, or be outfitted as an office or entertaining space. The stone patio provides the perfect canvas for relaxation, entertainment, al fresco dining, or stargazing.  In keeping with the idea of detached outbuildings, the current owner had a handsome and ample carport constructed for ease of vehicle entry and convenience, particularly during inclement weather. Entering the backside of the house through the covered porch, one is immediately struck by the stunning wide-plank wooden floors, beautifully illuminated by the natural light flooding in through the oversized window of the great room. The exposed stone walls and exquisite architectural details speak to a bygone era of thoughtful craftsmanship and care, when things were built to last! Though Johnny Cakes were all the rage in the mid-1700s, the home’s updated, gourmet, custom kitchen is capable of catering to a variety of cuisine and delectable treats. This William Draper kitchen is replete with all of the modern conveniences that a colonial owner couldn’t even dream of: a Sub-Zero refrigerator, soapstone counters, a warming drawer, a wine fridge, a large farm sink, a two-level center island, and custom cabinets and woodwork. The well-lit kitchen overlooks the sun-kissed great room, with built-in bookshelves, beamed ceilings, and a custom window seat that marries the interior with its comparably beautiful exterior.  Crossing the threshold into the dining room, one can imagine a large dinner party in front of the magnificent inglenook fireplace. Large enough to fit a party of 12, this room has seen many meals over the past 294 years, but it is primed and ready to host more gatherings and table talk for another century. Just through the dining room is a lovely, quiet sitting room with exposed stone walls. On the lower level, down the stairs of the great room, one steps back in time and enters what might’ve been a revolutionary tavern! This space offers another gloriously-sized fireplace, Mercer tile floors, an eating / entertaining area, an additional kitchen/prep area, a bar, and a half bath. A trove of potential uses.  The second floor is accessed by one of two staircases. On this level, there are three bedrooms, ample closet space, two full baths with decorative tiles, custom shelving and cabinetry throughout, and more storage than one might need! Though this home is registered as “A Bucks County Historic Place”, the charm of the past has been beautifully paired with the conveniences of the present. Even if history isn’t exactly “your thing”, one can’t help but marvel at this juxtaposition of historic craftsmanship and thoughtful modern accommodation. Located in beautiful Buckingham Township in the award-winning school district of Central Bucks, minutes from charming downtown Doylestown. Own a piece of history just by stepping into the present!

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.
