The quaint village of Durham, Pennsylvania provides an enchanting backdrop for this classic Georgian colonial home. One can only imagine a time when the nearby Durham Iron Works company built the boats that would ultimately ferry George Washington across the Delaware on Christmas Eve in 1776. Walking through the village past the grist mill and Durham boat replica, you feel part of history. Random width pumpkin pine floors, high ceilings and period moldings accent the inviting floor plan. The formal dining room has a stone fireplace, beamed ceiling and built-in cabinetry with bookshelves. A lovely covered patio showcases views of the pretty yard and stream framing the property, a relaxing haven throughout the seasons. Cherry cabinetry and granite counters are found in the updated kitchen and the second floor boasts three sunny bedrooms with wood floors and stone wall accents. White subway tiles and gleaming fixtures highlight the stylish and spacious main bath. A roomy basement, walk-up attic, and two-car garage provide plentiful storage options in this immaculate home. Ninety minutes from Manhattan and sixty from Philadelphia, the idyllic Bucks County location is a premier weekend and summer getaway. Nearby recreational venues include jogging and biking trails on the canal towpath, trendy boutiques in New Hope, and picturesque country inns to visit on a leisurely day.
