5925 Carversville Rd, Doylestown, PA 18902

Experience Carversville in its most compelling setting with this 4 BR stone house overlooking Paunacussing Creek. With its working, walk-in stone fireplace, beamed ceilings, wide-plank floors, this 1785 home has preserved many original features, while still appealing to the modern lifestyle. Kitchen was renovated with distressed cabinetry and a stone counter that fits right in with the old house ambiance. A bank of windows overlooks the expansive gardens and creek, with specimen plants, a terraced lawn and flagstone patio. A new woodstove heats the sunroom, bringing the outside in during all seasons. Renovated bathrooms feature Carrera marble and glass shower doors; a steam shower and radiant floor heating turn the first floor bath into a spa. A main floor bedroom with exposed stone walls and entry door could easily serve as an office. It passes through what we call the Tavern Room, possibly the earliest section of the house with a fireplace and pie stairs to the second floor. The 2.97 acres encompass a wide range of perennials and flowering shrubs, and the property extends along the opposite side of the creek, crossed by an arched walking bridge. Walk through an iron gate to the lovely in-ground pool and cabana, complete with an outdoor shower. A barn with electricity and second floor serves as a 2-car oversized garage. This property has been featured on the New Hope Historical Society's annual garden tour. Check out the extensive list of improvements made by the current owner.
