Farmhouse/National Folk

This enchanting farmhouse boasting an exceptional front porch is poised on nearly 13 acres in Hilltown Township and attractively blends the charm of the original 1780 house with a functional floorplan necessary for today’s lifestyle. During the planning of the addition and renovation of the existing home, every effort was made to preserve the old-world charm of the original house. Wide-plank yellow pine flooring, deep window sills and all the nooks and crannies expected in a residence of that era can still be found. The living room, with its beautiful stone fireplace and wood insert, and the dining room, ,with its built-in mirrored serving cabinet and two large closets, both have distinctive farmhouse ceiling beams. A remarkable floor-to-ceiling stone wall is the dramatic focal point of the kitchen. The kitchen also features solid cherry cabinets, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a cheery breakfast area bright with many windows where the new homeowner will certainly enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The family room offers a traditional raised-hearth wood-burning stone fireplace and access to the deck. Watch your horses graze while barbecuing on the expansive secluded 530 sqft two-tiered side deck bordered by mature landscaping. A mudroom with washer, dryer and laundry tub is found on the barn side of the home, making it convenient to take off your barn boots and overalls before entering the main house. Ascending the turned staircase to the 2nd floor, double doors at the top of the steps open to a primary bedroom suite which has a spacious walk-in closet, a sizable bathroom with two sinks, Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Three other bedrooms and full bath complete the 2nd floor. If anyone should require extra space for a playroom or storage, the walk-up attic is found in the back hallway of the original house and is just begging for your finishing touches. There isn’t an inch of carpeting in the home, which benefits those with allergies or pets. Very important updates and features not to be overlooked include a new roof on the house May 2024, new HVAC system 2022/2023, newer oil tank and heater flue, and an electronic dog fence allowing your pups six acres of freedom. This farm is an equestrian delight, as there is a 60’X120’ indoor arena, two tack rooms, 25 stalls, 7 which are heated, a kitchenette, nine pastures with solar-powered electric fencing, a round pen and hot walker. Tack up and enjoy the trail that surrounds the pastures! Aside from the couple of stalls occupied by the Sellers’ horses, the remaining stalls are leased. For those interested in this country setting but are not equine enthusiasts, the indoor arena doors open wide for those needing to store large equipment, hobby cars or a treasured boat. An additional shed can be found adjacent to the indoor, so equipment storage is not an issue. The heated/cooled 1.5 car garage is currently utilized as a workshop and features 220 three-phase electric, high ceilings and bright 8’ LED lighting; it is without question an ideal spot for working on your motorcycle or race car. Two one-bedroom apartments, one with an enclosed porch and the other with a bonus room, are located above the barn. There is ample parking in the front and around the side of the barn. This farm is located within 30 minutes of the Bucks County Horse Park, so trailering to the Thursday Morning Horse Shows or Tuesday Evening Dressage is convenient. It’s also just minutes to enjoy the loop around Lake Galena, or all the quaint shopping and terrific eateries found in Doylestown, Lahaska and New Hope. Pride of ownership is evident, as the current property owners have thoughtfully updated and lovingly cared for the house, barn, pastures and many horses over their 29 years. Be it your forever home or your weekend equine dream-come-true, this type of property is rarely offered and one not to miss. Act 319 preferential assessment. 24 hour notice required.
