This charming country farmhouse, bank barn and pool is situated on over 6 acres of open land in the very desirable Jericho Valley, Upper Makefield! The updated home circa 1860 combines timeless charm with modern comforts. There is a large bright Country kitchen with lots of cabinet space and center island plus a lovely eat-in breakfast area with a wall of windows. A sunny dining room/sunroom with beamed ceiling and a wall of windows overlooks the pool area. The beautiful formal living room with fireplace and bay window as well as a library with built-ins feature original random pine board flooring. The second floor offers a large primary suite with en-suite bath and French doors leading out to an upper sundeck overlooking the pool. There are an additional 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths as well as a laundry room. A finished third floor includes an additional bedroom plus 2 smaller rooms perfect for an office or study, expanding the home's flexible layout for guests, work or hobbies. A wonderful, large, covered porch leads to a terrace, hot tub, and pool area. The grounds include a fabulous bank barn with a 2-car garage, a second floor for storage and a reimagined interior. The box stalls and tack room have been converted into a large workshop, hobby room and art studio; however they could easily be returned to their original purpose for those wishing to have horses. A grass courtyard framed by ivy-draped stone walls and a fountain is a perfect spot for enjoying quiet moments and the long-distance views. The beautiful grounds with hard scaping, an old stone wishing well, outdoor lighting, a springhouse perfect for a garden shed and thoughtfully curated gardens create a true rural oasis. Located minutes to New Hope and Lambertville, the home is approximately 50 minutes to Philadelphia and 70 minutes to NYC. There are also convenient bus routes as well as train stations.
