Listing description

There’s a rare kind of magic in a home that has watched a village grow around it since the 1850s. We are thrilled to introduce you to this stucco-over-stone Federal gem. Once the village's general store, then a bustling millinery shop and now artfully reimagined as a sophisticated sanctuary in the heart of historic Carversville. The residence has been exquisitely restored to offer an open, airy floor plan. The main level is a masterclass in texture and light, where original exposed stone walls meet the warmth of antique pine board flooring. In the dining area, a sweeping bay window—the very spot where handcrafted hats were once displayed—now invites a sun-drenched focal point. The heart of the home resides in the expansive kitchen and breakfast area, a space defined by open beams, stone floors, and a cozy stone fireplace. A generous center island anchors the space offering the perfect spot for family and friends to gather. With radiant heat throughout the first floor, the transition from the cozy interior to the lush, landscaped gardens feels effortless. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a sprawling retreat, complete with a generous sitting area and a spa-like ensuite featuring an oversized steam shower. The upper levels continue to surprise with versatile spaces, including additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, laundry room, a dedicated home office, and an open media area designed for relaxation. The property’s story extends outdoors across a landscape that feels pulled from a storybook. A separate barn houses an upper-level guest suite, which could also serve as a sun-drenched art studio or office, while a historic smokehouse adds to the authentic character of the grounds. Whether you’re starting the day on the covered front porch, hosting an al fresco dinner in the garden, or picking apples in the orchard, the atmosphere is one of total tranquility. Beyond the front door, the village lifestyle is as captivating as the home itself. There is a rare, rhythmic charm to life here—one where you can greet neighbors at the local post office and adjoining sandwich shop or enjoy an evening stroll to dinner at the beautifully restored Carversville Inn. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local heritage that perfectly balances storied character with a fresh, effortless aesthetic. This property is lovingly maintained and simply outstanding. *View the video for a fly-over of the beautiful gardens!

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $68,920, well below the ~$106,400 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 $5,628/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($68,920, 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.
