Post & Beam

Have you been searching for a singular property which includes a beautiful home of artisan craftsmanship, out of the sight of any neighbors, but within a ten minute drive to Doylestown, New Hope and a stone’s throw from Peddler’s Village? And you want all of this on a gorgeous lot with no sound except a babbling water feature with a koi filled pond and the wind whispering in the trees? Welcome to Fox Hollow, an impeccably built post and beam home on just over 4 acres of stillness and serenity. Mountain Top Road is just that; a winding country road up Buckingham Mountain, which is one of the most beautiful and romantic hills in the county, dotted with boulders of all sizes worn smooth by the ages and which are known as the “wolf rocks”. A long paved driveway leads past the carriage house to the main home; a simply beautiful cedar sided three story home with a covered porch and a two story glass “prow” which allows for gorgeous views. Imagine coffee on the porch watching the sunrise and evenings on one of the three back decks with a glass of wine. Enter through the foyer into a stunning two story great room with the prow forming walls of glass flanked by additional picture windows and glass doors to the two decks. Even though this room is large enough to serve as a full living and dining space, small touches such a reading nook with floor to ceiling bookcases and a gas fireplace keep it cozy and warm not to mention the radiant heat! The kitchen is to the left with an oversized island in the center and extensive cabinetry surrounding. A six burner wolf range, subzero refrigerator and multiple prep areas make cooking a pleasure. The exposed beams, large windows and combination of natural materials make this room the heart of the home. A back door leads out to the large paver patio. Two spacious bedrooms are also on this floor and share a full bath. In addition there is a half bath. The second floor is one fabulous large master suite. The suite is open to the main floor and shares that fabulous sunset view out the prow. It feels like you are sleeping in the treetops. The bedroom itself is quite a spacious room, with an amazing, handcrafted bookcase system which acts as a privacy wall from the main floor. The master bath is lovely with a slipper tub and separate large stall shower. In between the master bedroom and bath are two big walk in closets and a double sized linen closet as well as a laundry room and balcony overlook sitting area. On the lower level you’ll find another bedroom and full bath. There is also a family room, separate office and a billiards room with wet bar! The lower level has its own separate entrance off of the driveway. Now to the carriage house with second floor bi-level guest apartment with full kitchen and bath! New wood floors are an attractive addition to the apartment which is over the garage and storage rooms. Heated and air conditioned it consists of a 20x23' great room and full 12x11' kitchen and full bath 'on one level and a spiral staircase up to the sleeping loft above. On the ground floor is a separate 13x11' room good for exercise or office and it also has washer/dryer hookups. This could make a terrific workroom as it’s just off of the garage. The garage currently has one car space with the rest used for storage but there are three garage bay doors and the possibility to convert back to a three car garage. Upgrades include new metal roof on home and carriage house, complete renovation of the apartment and much more. Equidistant from NYC and Philadelphia, in roughly 90 minutes, just over the bridge from Princeton and a comfortable drive from 4 airports, this amazing home is built with one of a kind construction that brings fun and joy as you live within. All in Blue Ribbon Central Bucks School District!
