Listing description

Originally constructed in 1959 and masterfully completed in 2014 following Paul Rudolph’s original architectural vision, The Fullam House stands today as a fully realized and enduring work of design, where historic integrity and modern refinement exist in perfect balance. The completion earned the prestigious AIA Bucks County Design Award for Excellence, recognizing the seamless integration of original architecture with thoughtful modern enhancements. Conceived by Paul Rudolph, one of the most celebrated architects of the 20th century and former Chair of Architecture at Yale University, this extraordinary residence represents a rare and deeply personal work created during a pivotal moment in his ascent to international prominence. Known for his bold experimentation, sculptural forms, and leadership in the modernist movement, Rudolph’s work helped redefine American architecture in the postwar era. Created for Judge John Fullam and his wife Alice, the home was born from a lifelong friendship that began during their years at Harvard. This was not a speculative project, but a deeply personal collaboration, where Rudolph was given creative freedom to explore new architectural ideas beyond his well-known Florida works. At the request of the Fullam family, the home was intentionally never published during Rudolph’s lifetime, remaining an unpublished architectural work thoughtfully situated within the Bucks County landscape for decades. This allowed Rudolph to experiment with evolving concepts, including the interplay of mass and void, sculptural geometry, and environmental responsiveness, resulting in a design both ahead of its time and deeply connected to its surroundings. Set on over 26 private acres, the property is seamlessly integrated into its natural environment, nestled into the hillside and overlooking a dramatic ravine. Constructed with Pennsylvania fieldstone, the residence reflects both Rudolph’s modernist philosophy and a nod to the local Bucks County vernacular. Architecturally, the home is a study in light, structure, and spatial experience. A central open living pavilion forms the heart of the residence, flanked by private wings, creating a deliberate separation between public and private spaces. Floor-to-ceiling window walls, clerestory glass, and a distinctive floating roofline allow natural light to move dynamically throughout the home while framing uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. Rudolph’s forward-thinking approach to environmental design is evident throughout. The sculptural roofline is both visually striking and functional, designed to block high summer sun while allowing winter light to penetrate deeply into the home, naturally warming the thick stone walls which then radiate heat into the space. Inside, the residence offers approximately 3,500+ square feet, including 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, with living spaces that feel both expansive and intimate. The interplay of stone, glass, and wood creates a tactile richness, while the home’s multi-level design provides a unique spatial experience. The 2014 completion faithfully realized Rudolph’s original intent while integrating modern systems and efficiencies. Surrounded by complete privacy, yet within close proximity to New Hope, Princeton, and major metropolitan areas, The Fullam House offers a rare convergence of architectural pedigree, historical significance, and modern livability.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $107,340 — well below the ~$342,810 its asking price implies at Bucks County's common level ratio (5.9%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $41,101/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($107,340, 1972 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale.
