Majestic views! Thundergust Mill is a hidden 15.5-acre property in one of the most dramatic settings in Bucks County. Sit back & enjoy the sights & sounds of the Geddes Run creek ? take it in from the multi-level deck at the edge of the water or, at the house, a covered pavilion complete with cove night-lighting and a ceiling fan; a side terrace; the rocking-chair porch or, dare we say, the perfectly placed soaking tub in the upstairs main bedroom suite, where French doors open to a private balcony. The grounds are a mix of lush, flat lawn bordered in carefully planned, easy-care perennials, terraced garden beds & mature trees. The rugged cliffs that rise above the creek create a natural privacy barrier for the property. Custom built in 2001 to incorporate a prior stone structure on the property, the present house & a custom-designed garage with workshop above are finished in vertical, select, rough-cut cedar, now stained for easy maintenance. Designed for easy indoor-outdoor flow & to make the most of the views, this home incorporates plenty of Andersen windows and French doors. The Roger Wright-designed kitchen with vaulted ceiling & skylights is designed with banks of windows in the workspace & the dining area. Between 3 walls of cabinetry and a large island, storage is plentiful. French doors open to a deck, while stone steps lead into the living room with stone fireplace & French doors to the deck. Two bedrooms on the 1st floor share a full bath, cleverly designed to be accessible from outside for those days when one needs a "farmer" shower before coming into the house. The main suite provides an airy retreat with dynamite views, a walk-in closet plus additional closet & a full bath with two pedestal sinks, an all-tile stall shower & toilet room. Step down to a sitting room with a big Palladian window and access to a laundry room. Extras here, besides the quality construction, include custom, all-wood exterior & interior doors, plantation shutters for many windows, central vac, central air & underground electric. Abundant exterior lighting along the cobblestone-lined perennial gardens, creeks & hillside allow for night-time enjoyment of this one-of-a-kind setting. And let's not forget the natural swimming hole off the creekside deck. If you've been looking for a "hideaway" in Bucks County that's still very convenient to New Hope, Doylestown, NJ, the canal path & river, look no further than Thundergust Mill.
