Historical stone retaining walls,terraces and massive stone steps and stairways lead to this one-of-a-kind retreat. Enjoy your morning breakfast with awesome sunrises, afternoon lunches, high tea, or evening cocktails on the covered,rocking chair, front porch. In the living room, there is is a wood burning cast-iron Franklin Stove to warm your hearts and toes on those chilly Fall, Winter and early Spring evenings, facing the living room, dining room and kitchen. The first floor bedroom may function as a family room, if only one bedroom is required. The latest two-story addition features the bedroom/family room on the first floor and a main suite on the second floor, having a full bath, walk-in closet and a convenient, stackable washer/dryer. There is a one-car garage on grade level for easy access to the main Road. At this new price, with some TLC and newer upgrades, this "Diamond in the Rough" can be a real, sought after, Bucks County Treasure for many years to come. This unique property would be a great investment for someone to refurbish, because of its convenient location of only 20 minutes to New Hope, less than 10 minutes to the Frenchtown, N. J. bridge and only twenty minutes to Doylestown. The price has been drastically reduced in the event your lifestyle requires you to install a new kitchen, bath, decorate or just fix-it-up and decorate. You can't go wrong either way. It is priced well below market value. The property is being sold in it's "AS IS" condition. The on-site septic system was recently repaired and was certified by the Bucks County Department of Health. This exceptional property will not last long at this below market value price!
