Gentleman's Farm on 12 Acres
Durham Township, Upper Bucks

On a property overflowing with history and charm, is this stucco and stone home with the original foundation dating back to 1798.

A twelve-acre plus property, down a quiet back country road in Upper Bucks County, is surrounded by farmlands and mature trees.

Nestled next to a grove of pines, the home features cozy and uniquely historical features. From wainscoting to exposed stonewalls, rough-hewn ceilings and beams to large windows with deep windowsills, this home inspires and welcomes. The family room, with woodstove, exposed stonewalls and a built-in glass cupboard has double doors leading out to the deck, and both share the view of the spring fed stocked pond and surrounding acreage. You can enjoy the beauty and change of seasons comfortably. A home office adjoins the family room, also with stonewalls. The large, comfortable, eat-in country kitchen has a woodstove with bricked walls and plenty of cupboards and views of farmlands.

An old glass door with transom windows leads from the kitchen to the formal dining room. Original wainscoting, deep windowsills and built-in shelving above the entryway to the living room give it a more formal feel for entertaining. The living room is light and airy with three big windows and deep sills. There are two stairways to the second floor; the master bedroom having its own. You step down into the master bedroom with bath and plaster walls. There is a bedroom of exposed stone, rough-hewn ceiling and beams with lots of light from 3 windows. Another room and bath are located on this floor.

A third floor finished attic space, naturally divided into two separate spaces can serve as guest quarters, a home office, library or a sitting or sewing room.

In addition to the home are four outbuildings; one currently used as a workshop and could be a great artist's studio, a barn just waiting for horses, and a garage.

There is quiet and seclusion and freedom to wander your property and make it a gentleman's farm…or the perfect getaway. The potential is limitless.
