Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind Bucks County property where historic charm, modern versatility, and peaceful country living come together on 5.748 picturesque acres. Originally built in 1875, this beautifully maintained farmhouse offers approximately 2,450 square feet of living space with 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and timeless character throughout. The main level features a spacious tiled kitchen with included appliances, inviting living and dining rooms with laminate flooring, an enclosed front porch, convenient mudroom with laundry, and a half bath. Upstairs, you'll find original pumpkin pine floors, three bedrooms, and two full baths, while the third floor offers two additional bedrooms and a full bath—ideal for guests, a home office, or flexible living arrangements. A large unfinished basement provides abundant storage, workshop space, and future finishing potential. Step outside to your own private retreat featuring a 20' x 40' cement in-ground swimming pool with a newer vinyl liner, an expansive 40-foot poolside deck, relaxing hot tub, mature landscaping, and a scenic pond that creates a tranquil backdrop for entertaining or enjoying nature.
