Property Description

A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Bucks County History! Nestled in picturesque Historic Haycock Township, with Dimple Creek meandering along the rear of the property, this extraordinary circa-1860 stone farmhouse is set on 5.02 scenic acres and offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern luxury. Originally built in the 1800s, this remarkable home was taken down to the studs and meticulously rebuilt in 2021, preserving its timeless architectural integrity while incorporating the comfort, efficiency, and reliability of today's construction. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, creating a truly turnkey residence that honors the past while embracing modern living. The original stone exterior was completely repointed, while virtually every major component of the home was replaced or restored in 2021, including a 30-year architectural shingle roof, standing-seam metal porch roof, plumbing, 200-amp electrical service, oil-fired boiler, and five-zone mini-split heating and air conditioning system, and 2023 septic system. The home was freshly painted inside and out. Historic details remain beautifully intact throughout, including restored authentic divided-light wood windows with custom triple-track storm windows, original shutters and hardware, refinished chestnut plank flooring on the first floor, refinished pumpkin pine floors on the second floor, exposed beam ceilings, deep 18-inch window sills, handcrafted woodwork, and charming original fireplaces that celebrate the home's rich heritage. The flagstone foyer welcomes you inside, and connects the farm house to the original summer kitchen. The custom-designed kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring handcrafted soft-close wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a generous center island, oversized stainless farmhouse sink, and stainless-steel Frigidaire range, Frigidaire dishwasher, and GE French-door refrigerator. The first-floor bath offers stone flooring, an exposed stone wall, granite vanity, porcelain sink, subway-tiled shower with glass enclosure, and recessed lighting. The dining room is rich with character, offering a dramatic walk-in fireplace, exposed beam ceiling, original woodwork, deep window sills, new plank flooring, and a generous storage closet. The inviting living room features refinished chestnut floors, exposed beams, a wood-burning stove fireplace, and custom built-in cabinetry. Upstairs are two charming bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite filled with natural light from five oversized windows. The adjoining second bedroom is ideal for creating a luxurious walk-in closet, dressing room, home office, or nursery. The hall bath features a double granite vanity, custom wood cabinetry, and a tub/shower combination. The third bedroom above the dining room showcases a beautiful plaster-over-stone accent wall, new carpeting, and a built-in wood closet. The finished attic provides flexible living space ideal for a guest retreat, home office, playroom, or studio, along with generous storage beneath the eaves. Complementing the home is a refurbished 961 SF detached barn/outbuilding, offering a two-car garage, equipment storage, and endless possibilities for a workshop, artist's studio, fitness room, or hobby space. Located in the scenic countryside of Upper Bucks County, this exceptional property is just minutes from Lake Towhee County Park and Lake Nockamixon State Park, where boating, fishing, hiking, biking, camping, and year-round outdoor recreation await. Convenient access to the Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia, and New York City makes this an ideal primary residence or sophisticated weekend retreat for those seeking a peaceful escape without sacrificing accessibility.
