Listed by EveryHome Realtors
There are places that feel increasingly rare, where winding country roads, historic architecture, and the beauty of the landscape offer an immediate sense of escape. Tucked away in Erwinna, one of Upper Bucks County’s treasured river communities, this distinctive property is ideally suited as a weekend retreat, second home, or full-time residence for those seeking a quieter pace. Set on 2.47 peaceful acres, the circa 1910 home feels as though it has been discovered rather than built. Its hand-hewn log façade and enduring architectural details speak to another era, while thoughtful updates provide the comforts of modern living. Mature trees, open skies, and manageable grounds offer privacy and a connection to nature without the demands of a larger country estate. The main residence offers two bedrooms and two and a half baths, with pumpkin pine floors, abundant natural light and beautifully preserved details throughout. The reimagined farmhouse kitchen features custom cabinetry, a white porcelain farm sink and stainless steel appliances. French doors open to a slate patio, extending daily life outdoors for morning coffee, relaxed dinners, and evenings with friends. The primary suite includes an updated bath and private deck overlooking the surrounding landscape. A second bedroom provides comfortable accommodations for family or guests. Above the detached two-car garage, a private third bedroom and full bath with a sitting area add exceptional flexibility for guests, older children, a home office, or a creative studio. An EV charging station and whole-house generator serving both living spaces add practical modern conveniences. Outside, the property is designed to be enjoyed rather than maintained. A slate patio, circular stone gathering area, established gardens, mature trees and open lawn create an easy, relaxed setting. Just beyond, the Delaware River and Canal towpath invite kayaking, biking and long walks, while New Hope, Frenchtown, Stockton and Milford offer exceptional dining, galleries and shops, with Doylestown also within easy reach. For a buyer seeking vast acreage, this may not be the answer. For someone looking for a beautiful and manageable place to escape to, it may be exactly right. Historic, private and wonderfully atmospheric, this is a home for spontaneous weekends away, longer summer stays and the simple pleasure of arriving somewhere that immediately feels removed from everyday life.

The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
