Property Description

Offered for the first time in more than four decades, this exceptional circa-1752 stone farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to own a historic Bucks County estate combining architectural pedigree, acreage, and modern comfort just minutes from the heart of Doylestown. The home, thoughtfully expanded with architect-designed additions by Ellen Happ and Lynn Taylor, blends period craftsmanship with light-filled living spaces designed for today's lifestyle. Featuring five bedrooms, three baths, a dedicated home office, and three fireplaces, the residence offers warmth, character, and versatility. A modern kitchen anchors the home, while original details—stone walls, antique wood flooring, and timeless textures—preserve its historic charm. In the cozy morning room, an antique coal stove and oven bring the warmth and character of a bygone era. Generous gathering spaces create a home that is both refined and welcoming. Set on over eight picturesque acres, the property invites a lifestyle deeply connected to the land. Sheep graze across fenced pastures, a chicken coop provides fresh eggs, and mature grapevines and open ground offer opportunities for gardening or small-scale farming. Wooded land to the rear enhances privacy and creates a peaceful natural backdrop—an increasingly rare rural experience so close to Doylestown and nearby Delaware Valley University, with its rich agricultural heritage. Multiple barns and outbuildings support a wide range of uses, all finished with slate roofs accented by metal roofing over porches—reflecting a consistent level of quality throughout the estate. A custom bank barn by Jarrett Vaughan Builders offers flexibility for equipment or livestock. The main barn provides storage for six or more vehicles—ideal for a car enthusiast—with stairs leading to a spacious loft featuring soaring ceilings, perfect for storage, a workshop, or a gathering/game area. This structure is flanked by a carriage house apartment—ideal for a caretaker, guest residence, or multi-generational living—complete with a spacious country kitchen, fieldstone fireplace, and laundry. A greenhouse adjacent to the main barn further enhances the property's agricultural and lifestyle appeal. Outdoor living is equally compelling. The architect-designed cabana serves as a natural gathering space with a stone, wood-burning fireplace, serving bar, sink, and beverage refrigerator, just steps from the home's first-floor bath. An in-ground pool, along with patios and porches, creates an inviting setting for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Served by public water and sewer, the property also offers potential for subdivision or future development, subject to township approvals—providing long-term flexibility rarely found in estate properties of this character.
Located moments from the shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions of Doylestown, this remarkable offering combines history, land, architecture, and lifestyle in a way that is increasingly rare in Bucks County.
