Lovingly restored to honor the classic and timeless beauty of the home, this Victorian-era beauty is surrounded by long distance farmland views and on over two serene acres in sought-after Pennsbury School District. Stepping onto the front porch and into the home takes you back to a bygone era of simplistic elegance - watching sunsets from the porch swing, snowfall against a classic Bucks County barn, or lazy summer afternoons on the back patio, sipping lemonade with friends and family. While the home has all of it's old world charm, it's also been thoroughly updated with the modern family in mind. Enjoy the best of both worlds with a carved mahogany staircase in the foyer, which is bordered by the living room, complete with classic fireplace. Each room on this main level offers carved wooden doors - many in the traditional Victorian pocket-door style - between rooms for privacy and efficiency. Follow through to the family room, where entertaining is a breeze with a door to the open and spacious side deck. Continuing back, you'll pass through a sunny breakfast room and conveniently located powder room on the way to the totally updated kitchen, which retains its historic charm in a series of built-in cabinets that have been refinished to complement the new cabinetry. Stainless steel appliances and accents include an oversized professional oven and range with matching hood, dishwasher, stainless apron-front sink, and French Door refrigerator. A tucked-away coffee center sits opposite the door to a covered side patio, which has been rebuilt with composite deck material and offers lovely views. The main level is completed by a full laundry room. Ascending either set of stairs brings you to a calming and neutral upper level, where original floors - some in original wood finish and some painted - pair with high ceilings and deep trim to provide a sense of familiar and historic loveliness. A full bath - completed in black and white tile - is accessed from one of the bedrooms and from the hallway. Two additional bedrooms share this bath as well as a quiet space at the end of the hall - ideal as a library, reading room, or learning nook. The large main bedroom, complete with a home office, has an renovated ensuite bathroom with tub and separate tiled shower. Turned stairs to the third floor bring you to a large loft bedroom, where older children will enjoy privacy or guests can stay in their own retreat. This space would serve equally well as a playroom or second home office. Ample windows and light throughout, allowing in not just the sun but the refreshing views that have been gracing this home for over a hundred years. Full unfinished basement, 2 car oversized detached garage, and full barn with endless possibilities. Use your imagination. This slice of history is close to major commuting routes, conveniences and amenities while feeling like a world all it's own.
