A stunning French Normandy style Farmhouse on 10 plush acres in beautiful Bucks County is just minutes from Doylestown and 70 minutes from NYC. This wonderful historic property dates back to 1780 and includes many notable quaint Bucks County features, such as blackwalnut hardwood flooring, 2 wood burning fireplaces in the kitchen and dining room, an inground pool, working Bank Barn, springhouse plus other outbuildings. There is an additional structure with plumbing and electricity but needs total remodeling. The quiet property has a pond, stream, small bridge and shady trees. The barn and other outbuildings have newer roofs. So many possibilities abound - wonderful for horse owners or a small organic working farm, pretty location and great school district. Needs fixing up, but endless potential at a great price. Property is being sold as is where is. Third floor bath not hooked up for 3rd full bath.
