Years before the start of the Revolutionary War, a Bucks County farmer built this quaint cottage, stone by stone and one hand-hewn beam at a time. At first approach, the elemental nature of the stone cottage with thick fieldstone walls and slate roof recalls the simplicity of that era and creates the illusion that time has stood still. Once inside, however, there is no doubt that a skilled and sensitive renovation has occurred. Today, this bewitching circa 1760s cottage can best be described as a marriage of old and new, where functional and artistic merge. Embracing a bygone era when life was simple, random width wide plank wood floors, stone fireplaces, butterfly stairs, deep windowsills, and exposed beams can be found throughout. This colonial past has been improved with central air conditioning, heated floors on the first level, and updated kitchen with granite countertops. An upper level primary suite has been enhanced with an ensuite bath with heated marble floors and elegant fixtures. Outside an inviting pergola-shaded patio overlooks the fenced yard with vegetable and flower gardens. For over 250 years the home has stood sentinel over the surrounding hills and valleys observing the seasons and changes coming and going. This bit of history is located within 10 minutes of NJ, 25 minutes of downtown Bethlehem and Doylestown and 90 minutes to NYC.
