Property Description
The essential "country house" to get away from it all in Bucks County. Alluring in its timeless simplicity, the home has well-sized rooms, 2/3 bedrooms, with one main-level bedroom and bath. The 17-acre parcel includes a 2-car garage and a converted stone chicken coop, known as "the Folly." Set back off a truly quiet road, a verdant expanse of lawn spreads out in front of the wisteria-covered porch. While it has tons of potential, it is a charm-filled jewel just as it is. Random-width floors, pie stairs and 2 fireplaces pack this home with character you can't duplicate. The second floor can be 2 bedrooms or one large suite. The European sensibility has been cultivated for years. The perennial gardens and woods achieve year-round estate-quality privacy. Blissfully close to the shops, cafes and restaurants of Frenchtown, the location is easily accessible to the NYC bus. Far removed from the rush of the modern world, the Folly is an all-stone, 25-foot-long building with heat and plumbing, perfect for an art studio, large home office or private yoga studio. Once inside, relaxing under the four skylights, there is nowhere else you need to go. Sweet.
