Welcome to a truly exceptional Bucks County property—an enchanting historic stone residence and detached guest cottage set gracefully on 1.01 acres of private, beautifully landscaped grounds, with remarkably low annual property taxes of $3,776. This is a rare opportunity to own something distinctive, with significant infrastructure improvements already completed. This home presents a rare blend of historic charm and modern refinement that is increasingly hard to find. Exposed fieldstone walls, hand-hewn timber beams, deep-set windows, wide-plank floors, and original stone fireplaces provide an irreplaceable connection to the home’s colonial past. The main house offers four bedrooms, one and a half baths, a comfortable living room, and a spacious dining area. The kitchen features abundant cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a dining nook, and a vaulted ceiling accented by skylights. The sellers have invested substantially in the home’s infrastructure, including a new main electrical service line and panel, replacement of all galvanized plumbing with PEX, a new water heater, and an upgraded well system with UV, hard-water, and nitrate filtration. The basement received a new parge coat and sump pump, while the attic and crawl space were insulated to enhance comfort and efficiency. Additional improvements include fresh interior paint, new wall-to-wall carpet on the second floor, updated light fixtures and ceiling fans throughout, refreshed bathroom fixtures, and a large Andersen glass sliding door overlooking the grounds. New appliances conveniently located on the first floor include a dishwasher, washer, and dryer. A freshly paved asphalt driveway provides parking for 10 or more vehicles. Then there is the detached guest cottage, completely renovated in 2021. It is an incredibly versatile bonus space with its own open living area, sleeping loft, full bathroom with a walk-in shower, tankless water heater, and heating and air conditioning. Plumbing lines have also been thoughtfully installed for a future kitchenette. Use it as an in-law suite, home office, creative studio, or simply a place for family and friends to stay while visiting. Outside is where this property truly comes alive. Tucked among mature specimen trees, established gardens, fieldstone walls, and bluestone patios, 657 Jacksonville Road feels like a private country retreat while remaining wonderfully connected to everything the area has to offer. The landscape provides a beautiful setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, entertaining friends, gardening, or simply enjoying some peace and quiet. With just over an acre of land, there is ample space to bring your most memorable events to life. Located in the Council Rock School District and positioned in the heart of Bucks County, this exceptional location puts the very best dining, shopping, and entertainment within reach. Spend weekends exploring charming Peddler’s Village, historic New Hope and Lambertville, or enjoying seasonal fun at Shady Brook Farm. Shop and dine in downtown Yardley, Newtown, and Doylestown, or head to nearby Tyler State Park for hiking, biking, and time outdoors. Convenient access to major commuter routes makes Philadelphia and surrounding areas easily accessible, while the property itself remains wonderfully removed from the hustle of everyday life. If you’re looking for a home that feels truly special, come experience 657 Jacksonville Road for yourself. If you love the photos, just wait until you see this remarkable property in person. Nothing compares to the feeling of being surrounded by its beauty and charm. This is your chance to own a piece of Bucks County history.
