Description

Enchanting c.1874 Bucks County farmhouse set on 1+-+ lush acres on a quiet road. Originally the Morgan Homestead, it is now affectionately known as Lilac Ridge due to the profusion of multi-colored lilacs surrounding the property on the ridge. This sweet home boasts period wood clapboard siding, a slate roof, rocking chair front porch, and original details throughout. Enter through the back foyer with plenty of room to hang your coat and hat, and a conveniently placed powder room. The charming kitchen has stainless steel appliances, plenty of beautifully preserved wood cupboards and wood floor that continue through the formal rooms. Double-sided glass paned cabinets take advantage of the abundant natural light and hang above a pass-through to the adjacent dining room with built-in corner cupboard and chair rail. The bright and sunny living room spans the width of the home and features a woodburning fireplace centered in archetypal built-ins, and the original entrance that leads out to the maintenance-free front porch. A sunroom connects to the back foyer and dining room, and is drenched in light from a wall-of-windows. French doors lead out to the Bluestone patio overlooking open meadows, specimen trees, and flowering perennial shrubs. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a large full bathroom, and the finished third floor makes a wonderful bonus space for an office or library. The basement has laundry, storage, and bulkhead doors up to the yard. With a large barn, chicken coop, and fenced-in, in-ground pool, this home has everything you need to make the most of country living, while being ideally located 80 miles from NYC, 30 miles from Philly, and minutes from both New Hope/Lambertville and Doylestown.
