Simply breathtaking describes this one of a kind estate in Doylestown within a short walk to Lake Galena. This farm home, originally built in 1860, has been meticulously expanded and updated to blend the charm and grace of the old ambiance with the convenience of the new. Sitting on 10 acres, this home is a true entertainer's dream with breathtaking views of the 1/2 acre pond, the gorgeous pool and pool house, the gardens that surround the home that once you arrive you will never want to leave! As you enter this home from the covered front porch into the front parlor you will immediately see the deep window sills from the old house to the custom woodwork and trim of the new. The first floor has a very versatile floor plan for whatever your needs are and features ceramic flooring with a wood look warmed by radiant heat. Cooking for your family and friends will be a pleasure in your gourmet kitchen featuring an oversized island, custom cabinetry with glass tops, commercial grade double range and ovens, an oversized refrigerator and windows with magnificent views. Casual dining can be enjoyed in your large breakfast area with windows overlooking the backyard oasis. Cuddle up near the oversized, raised hearth, stacked stone fireplace in your family room featuring oak hardwood floors. The living room has vaulted ceilings and triple windows overlooking the pond. Step through the sliders from the Living Room into your 3 season room warmed by a pellet stove that leads to the back patio. A huge mudroom off the kitchen also leads out to a hot tub and the pool. Upstairs leads you to gorgeous cherry flooring that flows through most of this floor. Retreat to your bedroom with vaulted ceiling and a huge walk-in closet with center island unlike any closet you will find in a farmhouse built in 1860! The fully updated ensuite bath has an expanded double vanity, a claw foot soaking tub and a walk-in california shower. There is also a door leading to the outside where you can build a balcony and have magnificent, unobstructed views of Lake Galena. There are 3 other nicely sized bedrooms on this floor, one having its own private updated bath and 2 sharing a fully updated hall bath. A full laundry room with a sink rounds out this floor. Up to the third floor leads you to a newly carpeted large bedroom with it’s own private updated bath. Now to the outside oasis! Enjoy chilly nights by your built-in firepit overlooking your private one acre pond equipped with a fountain and a dock where you can enjoy lazy days of fishing - yes it is stocked! Family gatherings will be so much fun in the summer where you can enjoy the gorgeous pool with a raised hot tub. For entertaining convenience there is a pool house equipped with a full glass garage door and plumbed for a future bathroom. There is also plenty of space to store your cars and all your toys in your 4 vehicle 40’X60’ pole barn with 16’ high ceilings and a second oversized 20’X45” garage - possibly your future man cave or she-shed. You really need to see this one for yourself and schedule enough time because there is so much to see!
