Listing description

An Architectural Masterpiece — The Glass Barn Published in Architectural Record (1988) and reimagined in 2020, The Glass Barn is a landmark of modern design that marries dramatic architecture with effortless livability. Originally designed by Richard Olcott and Todd Schliemann of Polshek & Partners, this striking residence is defined by 28-foot soaring ceilings, expansive open spaces, and walls of glass that frame the surrounding landscape as living art. At the heart of the home, the great room showcases a floor-to-ceiling concrete wood-burning fireplace, polished concrete radiant-heat floors with reclaimed hardwood accents. The expansive chef’s kitchen is both functional and dramatic, with soapstone countertops, diamond-plate custom steel cabinetry, professional-grade appliances, and a seating area with a wood burning fireplace. A 1,200-bottle climate-controlled glass walled wine room completes the entertaining core. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, featuring a circular glass-walled sitting room with a suspended fireplace, spa-like bath with skylit stone shower, and a boutique-like dressing room. Additional highlights of the home include a circular-walled library, a studio, office, four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a full-floor sun drenched lower level recreation room and an attached 2 car garage. Set on 6.3 acres of rolling meadow and mature trees, the property is as serene as it is private. A two-acre wildflower field with meandering paths provides a changing canvas with each season, enhanced by professional landscaping, lighting and irrigation. The resort-caliber amenities rival those of a private club: Black-bottom heated pool with sun shelf & spa, Pickleball/platform tennis court & bocce court, Glass greenhouse - perfect for the plant enthusiast while doubling as a year round grand entertaining space with seating for 20 and dual wood burning fireplaces, Expansive lawns, multiple outdoor dining areas, and a large motor court for guest parking. The Glass Barn is more than a residence — it is a published work of art, a stage for entertaining, and a retreat for ultimate privacy. An architectural icon that continues to evolve without losing its original vision.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $122,970, well below the ~$350,000 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 $40,003/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($122,970, 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 2025 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.
