A gem of a cottage in a magical rural setting - the perfect Bucks County country retreat! Just minutes from the river and canal, and reached via a quaint covered bridge, this exquisite home is made for relaxing and entertaining. Picket fences, and an allee of trees shading a stone path create the feeling of getting away from it all as you approach the front door. Period details, vintage materials, artful touches and updated fixtures and systems are masterfully combined, illustrating why this home has been featured in dozens of design, lifestyle and garden magazines. The well-proportioned great room features painted wood floors, a classic wood-burning fireplace, practical built-ins, lots of light and plenty of room for friends and family. French doors open to a covered sleeping porch overlooking the extensive gardens, meadow and stream. The fully-updated kitchen has window seats in the breakfast nook, soapstone counters, under-counter refrigerator and freezer drawers, ice-maker and wine cooler. Off the kitchen and also looking out to the gardens is a bright dining room with painted wood floors. Just off the dining room are steps down to a gracious stone patio. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with a sumptuous ensuite bath with soaking tub, glass and tile shower. The garage fits one car, but is so attractive, it is often used for dinner parties. And there is plenty of extra parking space. Adding a bit of whimsey is a treehouse folly where overflow guests can spend the night. The gardens and grounds are exceptionally beautiful. You'll want to Google Jon Carloftis to learn even more about this lovely home from the many magazine articles in which it is featured.
