On a quiet residential street sits this stately house that the owner believes was first built between 1873 and 1890. Characteristic of its age are the original features, including wide plank pumpkin pine floors, doors with original hinges/hardware and a beamed ceiling. All but one of the many oversized windows have been replaced along with the exterior siding that is no maintenance insulated vinyl w/Tyvek beneath. The first floor has a spacious great room with built-ins, ceiling fan/light and includes a bay window with exterior copper roof. The powder room is accessed from there. On the other side of the staircase is another spacious room that can be used as a dining room or office or for whatever suits your lifestyle. The original, non-working fireplace provides additional ambiance for this exceptional home. The bright eat-in kitchen has a painted tin-style ceiling, separate pantry, lots of cabinetry and door to the enormous deck. Upstairs is a beautifully redone bathroom w/two sinks, jetted tub & custom cherry cabinetry. The main bedroom (a long-ago addition) has a shed ceiling and walk-in closet, and there are two other bedrooms, one now used as an office. From the second-floor hall with a linen closet, you can access the large unfinished third floor attic that could be partially renovated with a dormer across one side to create more living space. The dry basement has a poured cement floor, shelves, plenty of storage room, a laundry area with utility sink and a huge original walk-out door to a wonderful backyard. The pressure treated wood deck with partial trellis above and two built-in benches provides views of the mountains when leaves arent in foliage. Impressively old trees, just trimmed and treated by an arborist, wrap you in their beauty and shelter. Other mature trees, flowering shrubs, perennials share the stunning backyard with a shed and a vegetable garden area. When you stand in front of this special house, look up and see snow guards, a unique chimney, and the landscaped front with brick walkway to a classic front porch. A one-year American Home Shield warranty is included, and the house is wired for a whole house generator. The town is legendary, and the location is convenient to commuting routes, including Center Bridge that links Bucks County, shopping, dining, and recreation. A short 0.2 miles down the hill brings you to the Delaware and Raritan Canal state park (canal path) are close by. This is a home that will welcome you every time you return. It will whisper stories of the past and be the best place to eat, drink, relax and be merry. Welcome home!
