Happiness Farm, c1740, is a classic Bucks Co stone and frame manor home which has been expanded with care over decades to preserve it's historic value. A large addition in 1995 brought forth the spacious Hearth Room with handsome stone fireplace, random width floors, wet bar and French doors leading to a brick patio and lovely gardens. The kitchen was also completely redone and a full first floor bath has recently been added. The inviting dining room features a walk-in fireplace. The side by side living rooms, one with fireplace, can easily accommodate large gatherings as they flow naturally into each other. Tavern Room completes the 1st floor and has a separate staircase to a game room/art studio with beautiful views of the farm. The 13+ acres encompass a lovely private heated pool, spring-fed pond with waterfall and footbridge, tennis court, handsome stone and frame bank barn with party room and his/her baths and changing rooms, 2 horse stalls and three smaller stalls. Separate two car garage with 2nd fl.
