This charming country farmhouse, bank barn and pool is situated on over 6 acres of open land in the very desirable Jericho Valley, Upper Makefield! The updated home circa 1860 combines timeless charm with modern comforts. There is a large bright Country kitchen with lots of cabinet space and center island plus a lovely eat-in breakfast area with a wall of windows. A sunny dining room/sunroom with beamed ceiling and a wall of windows overlooks the pool area. The beautiful formal living room with fireplace and bay window as well as a library with built-ins feature original random pine board flooring. The second floor offers a large primary suite with en-suite bath and French doors leading out to an upper sundeck overlooking the pool. There are an additional 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths as well as a laundry room. A finished third floor includes an additional bedroom plus 2 smaller rooms perfect for an office or study, expanding the home's flexible layout for guests, work or hobbies. A wonderful, large, covered porch leads to a terrace, hot tub, and pool area. The grounds include a fabulous bank barn with a 2-car garage, a second floor for storage and a reimagined interior. The box stalls and tack room have been converted into a large workshop, hobby room and art studio; however they could easily be returned to their original purpose for those wishing to have horses. A grass courtyard framed by ivy-draped stone walls and a fountain is a perfect spot for enjoying quiet moments and the long-distance views. The beautiful grounds with hard scaping, an old stone wishing well, outdoor lighting, a springhouse perfect for a garden shed and thoughtfully curated gardens create a true rural oasis. Located minutes to New Hope and Lambertville, the home is approximately 50 minutes to Philadelphia and 70 minutes to NYC. There are also convenient bus routes as well as train stations.

Location Location Location!! Prime area preference, low taxes, low maintenance costs- this farmette has amazing potential! Attention primary users or builders/developers!! This charming 4 BR, 3.1 bath country farmhouse, bank barn and pool are centered on 6.32 acres in the much sought after Jericho Valley in Upper Makefield! This comfortable vintage frame home (Circa 1860) offers a flexible floor plan, & is finished on 3 levels. The first floor offers a simple living room with wood-burning fireplace and bay window, and there is a gathering room nearby, both with random pine board flooring. The expansive eat-in country kitchen was totally remodeled (2000), with tile flooring, wood cabinetry, a vast island with granite counters, stainless appliances, a commercial stainless restaurant-style range, wine cooler, and access to a solarium room with flagstone flooring and window surround which could be the perfect dining room-or rearrange the living spaces to suit your needs! To the rear is a fabulous screened porch with "party" lights, a mecca for entertaining, and in close proximity to an inviting pool for Summer fun. The 2nd floor offers the updated main bedroom suite, with maple cabinetry, tile flooring, a jetted tub, and spacious "spa" style shower with body jets, a rain shower head, and window! The main bath is also used as a "changing cabana" for the pool, with French Doors leading to an upper deck and circular stairs to the pool below. Two spare bedrooms and two full baths, along with the laundry, complete the 2nd floor. The finished 3rd floor offers a secondary gathering/media area, bedroom, and home office, all outfitted with wall to wall carpeting. Outside, a wonderful bank barn offers a 2-car garage with new carriage doors & openers, three stalls, a charming stone paddock with waterfall feature, machine shed, and tremendous 2nd floor storage. There is a newer septic, newer barn roof (6-8yrs), zoned oil hot water heat & central air, Rain Bird garden irrigation, newer pool tile, coping & plaster, newer driveway, new boiler (2 yrs), and a spacious well/spring house, great for a garden/tool shed! Just outside is a 3.5 mile walk around the much sought after "loop", a merging of 4 roads allowing for the perfect walk, run, dog walk or whatever! A simply great location with amazing supporting real estate - and first rate if Sol Feinstone Elementary School is an important variable! Simply a lovely, manageable farmette or location for the next estate!

Conservation Management District
The Conservation Management District consists of valuable natural resources such as woodlands, agricultural soils, floodplains, wetlands, aquifer recharge areas, and areas of steep slopes. The Conservation Management District is dependent on groundwater as the primary water source. Agriculture is a significant and an important use of land in the Conservation Management District. For these reasons, uses are permitted in both type and intensity which provide the maximum opportunities for open space in order to protect the natural resources and encourage the continuation of farming activities. Single-family detached, single-family detached cluster, and performance subdivisions are permitted, provided sewage disposal methods shall replenish the water table in accordance with the wastewater policies of the Joint Municipal Comprehensive Plan and the Sewage Facilities Plan Act 537 of the participating municipality where building or development is proposed. The use and ownership of open space within residential developments shall be designed to achieve the purposes noted above and to be compatible with other uses in the Conservation Management District.
