Prepare to be charmed by this period fieldstone absolute delight of a home just outside New Hope in the village of Brownsburg in bucolic Bucks County situated on lush 1.5 acres. For anyone who lives by the mantra 'less is more' - this one is for you! This gorgeous vintage house is big on style and is sure to pull at your heartstrings. Arrive to find plenty of parking on the grounds that include a pool with a gable-roofed pool house, that is just the right size for entertaining some friends with French doors and a cupola adding to its charm. A usable barn/one car garage provides plenty of storage on one side. A brand new pretty split-rail fence/wire gates in the pool and a garden with a pergola-topped spacious bluestone patio draped in cafe lighting is ideal for al-freso dining. Enter into the tiled eat-in kitchen that blends the best of modern technology with old-world features like exposed beams, deep set windows and original wrought-iron hardware, wide plank timber, and sleek stainless steel appliances and industrial style pantry shelving. A wood stove connection still remains in one of the original stone fireplaces, in the kitchen for additional heat. A full bath with tile flooring and a stylish floating mounted sink and tucked-away washer/dryer are convenient for homeowners and pool party guests alike. Upstairs, the main level includes a sunny front parlor which is accessed by the original solid paneled pine door, a guest bedroom, and the living room with deep-set windows, attractive wood shutters and the opening for the 2nd fireplace which is now decorative. Find a two-room bedroom suite crowning the top floor with a cathedral ceiling, exposed rafters, light and bright with two skylights. Throughout the home the windows are new. Plenty of natural light with surprisingly high ceilings throughout, this home is truly in a class of its own, perfectly priced, and perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of nearby New Hope, local parks, and a simpler life away from the city. A wooden fence surrounds the yard area around the rear of the home for securing pets. An expansive yard for lots of outdoor fun. This home is adjacent to Brownsburg Park. Come see! Just minutes into the heart of historic New Hope, PA and Lambertville, NJ. An easy 40 min. commute into Philadelphia and not far from 202, which leads to NYC.

Welcome to this cozy Cottage situated on scenic 1.5 acres in historic Upper Makefield. This is a true Bucks County gem and would be a perfect weekend or all year round home. Located just minutes from the Historic towns of New Hope and Lambertville with wonderful shops and restaurants galore. If you like to run or hike, the towpath runs along the Delaware River offering nature at its best. This is truly in move-in condition and needs no work unless you decide to explore an addition. This 150+ year home has the charm of having beamed ceilings and original hardwood floors. Enjoy the European flair of a wonderful Pergola with bluestone patio directly outside of the kitchen/dining room with a butcher block side table. Perfect for entertaining all your guests, soak up the sun at your in-ground pool next to the recently added pool house and why not some cocktails and hors d'oeuvres on the bluestone patio watching the sun set.
