Well-designed, timeless contemporary-style homes are a rarity in Bucks County, which makes this custom-built, designer residence all the more special. Set atop a hill off a small country road, this house dates to the 1970s but feels very of the moment thanks to overhauls by the current and previous owners, both interior design pros. Its timber construction is substantial and visible; its picture windows frame wooded views, and the overall effect is one of a very comfortable, very large with double-height ceilings throughout its main living spaces. Its structural centerpiece is a great room, where a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace is built of stone dug from the property and full-height windows line the room. It is expansive enough to accommodate a dining area and multiple seating areas. The natural light is spectacular in every season. Step out to decks from here or from the foyer, or direct your view to the open kitchen. Outfitted with sleek stainless-steel cabinetry and Bosch appliances, the kitchen has generous storage and plenty of prep space. A green glass hand cut tile back splash serves as a focal point above the range. Just beyond the kitchen is a fabulous studio and office space, recently updated and large enough to serve as an exercise space or play room should one wish. Private quarters include 2 baths that are outfitted with ultra-modern fixtures, a main bedroom suite with built-ins, sitting area and treetop views, plus two additional bedrooms. With a stream on the property, spring bulbs dotting its grounds, and a variety of arborist-tended trees, nature is art and entertainment here. Updated to include many Eco-friendly finishes, this one-of-a-kind residence with a state of the art, high-efficiency heating and cooling system, a car-charging station and a generator. Convenient to Doylestown, shopping and commuter routes, though in a setting that is a world away from the city. Under an hour from Philadelphia; approximately 90 minutes to New York City.

Designer Home ? Reinvented ! This masterfully crafted residence, is not only enhanced by the natural elements of its construction, it transports nature throughout the home with its river-stone foyer, glass walls and 18' wood ceilings. This renovated 1970s contemporary home is perched high above a rock-bed stream and sits majestically up on a wooded hillside of 2 acres. Great care was taken in creating an Eco-friendly environment without disturbing the original artistic and workmanship evident throughout. The heating and A/C systems have been replaced with Hallowell high-efficiency units. The kitchen incorporates custom designed stainless steel cabinetry to create multiple prep-stations with remarkable storage spaces and is accented with Bosch appliances for the ultimate cooking experience. A floor-to- ceiling stone fireplace and chimney is the heart of this home and acts as the focal point that ties all of these rich elements together. The spa-like quality bathrooms are fitted with Kohler fixtures and water conserving mechanicals. There is even a built-in charging station for electric cars.
