Listing description

Nestled near the winding beauty of the Delaware River, hidden from the hurried pace of everyday life, lies a breathtaking 22-acre estate — a rare and timeless sanctuary in the heart of Bucks County. Beyond a graceful white gravel drive that meanders through open meadows and beneath mature trees, a storybook setting slowly reveals itself. The main residence stands in quiet splendor, beautifully crafted with stone, cedar, and slate — a striking expression of old-world craftsmanship and enduring architectural design. Doric columns frame the stately entrance, welcoming guests into a porcelain-paved foyer illuminated by a magnificent crystal chandelier and adorned with breathtaking stained glass windows that cast jewel-toned light across every surface. A sweeping staircase rises gracefully above, setting the tone for the refined European Victorian interiors beyond. To one side, a richly appointed library invites quiet reflection beside an antique carved European Victorian fireplace mantel, its intricate detailing a testament to a bygone era of artisanship. Opposite, an elegant parlor showcases herringbone exotic hardwood flooring and a grand antique French Victorian fireplace framed by hand-carved stone surrounds. The formal dining room is equally captivating, centered around a carved marble Victorian fireplace and enhanced by a dramatic bay window with leaded stained glass panels that fill the room with prismatic natural light. The gourmet kitchen blends luxury and comfort with marble surfaces, European tilework, custom modern cabinetry, and a wood-paneled ceiling. It opens seamlessly into an expansive den accented by reclaimed antique barn beams and a bespoke carved fireplace with European Victorian finishing. Beveled glass French doors lead to a wide stone patio overlooking open fields — an idyllic setting for entertaining or peaceful evenings outdoors. A concealed hinged bookcase reveals a hidden passageway leading to a private in-law suite above the garage, complete with its own Victorian-style fireplace, stained glass accent windows, and a separate entrance. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite features a carved marble gas fireplace with ornate European detailing, a charming balcony, and a spa-inspired bathroom finished with period-inspired tilework and fixtures. The guest cottage is a destination unto itself — offering approximately 2,034 square feet of beautifully appointed living space with a fully equipped prep kitchen, full bathroom, and comfortable bedroom suite. Its impressive 520-square-foot extended deck, sweeping open grounds, and romantic countryside backdrop make this an extraordinary venue for weddings, celebrations, and private events. With ample on-site parking accommodating large gatherings, hosting becomes effortless — whether it’s an intimate garden party or a grand outdoor wedding under open Bucks County skies. The rolling meadows and natural beauty of the property provide a picture-perfect setting that no venue rental could ever replicate. Nearby, a classic barn opens to a fenced pasture ready for horses or hobbies — and equally stunning as an event backdrop. Originally completed in 1992 and extensively renovated throughout 2025–2026, every inch of this estate reflects a devotion to European Victorian craftsmanship — from the stained glass throughout to the hand-finished millwork and carved fireplace surrounds that grace nearly every room. Modern mechanical systems, an automatic backup generator, a full basement, and a fully floored and insulated attic ensure effortless comfort without compromising timeless character. More than a residence — this is a place where stories are written, traditions are created, and life unfolds beautifully in every season.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $98,740, well below the ~$154,000 its asking price implies at Bucks County's common level ratio (5.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $8,292/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($98,740, 1972 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Bucks County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. 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.
