Property Description
Easy access to Delaware Canal Towpath & Fabulous River Valley! As you approach this stately, refined early fieldstone Victorian with its hand cut quoins, impressive bay window & eye-catching dormer you also capture a sense of tranquility evoking a simpler time. Notably, this property rests on an original part of the first land grant in Solebury Township given by William Penn to George Pownall a Quaker in 1682. Built when proportion was respected and attention to detail was standard. This remarkable home truly enjoys a parklike setting on approximately 2.7 acres pleasantly positioned amongst towering pine, Kentucky coffee, ornamental trees & a myriad of shrubs & perennials. A magnificent age-old catalpa tree & wisteria covered pergola add to the mix. Dry laid stone walls create a backdrop for a glorious stone patio w/ brick border looking on a reflecting pool w/ a whimsical cherub fountain. What a great place for an evening soiree. Abundant windows throughout, many of them arched, bring the outside in. Several rooms on the main floor open to stone walkways, patios and a sheltered covered porch. You enter this remarkable home through a period double door looking on to the central staircase which divides both the elegant living room w/ mantled fireplace and an adjacent family room, both w/ lofty ceilings. There are so many original architectural features & qualities to enjoy as you move through this splendid yet relaxed home. Crown moldings, fine woodwork, chamfered plaster, deep windowsills, wainscoting, original hardware, hardwood & wide pine floors and subtle accents add to its unique qualities & character. A den offers tall original cabinetry, plank paneled walls & custom half bath. There is an adjacent laundry. The dining room w/ pine floor is complemented w/ wainscot & original paneling. It opens to an enclosed sunroom. The perfect place to relax & read a book. You also have access to an open covered porch to while away an afternoon & seasonable dining. The country kitchen w/ center island offers abundant cabinetry, granite counters & decorative backsplash offering generous storage & workspace. Stainless steel appliances include 5 burner gas cooktop, 2 convection ovens, custom vent exhaust, dishwasher, upgraded refrigerator & wine cooler. An accessory half bath at this location completes the first floor. The main bedroom suite w/ French door opening to a balcony offers an adjacent sitting room w/ lots of custom built-ins. The “wow” factor can be enjoyed in its luxurious custom bath w/ heated floor, featuring eye catching oval soaking tub, oversized ceramic tile rain shower w/ hexagonal marble accents & seamless door, double vanity sinks w/ quartz counters & custom lighting. There are 3 additional bright & cheerful bedrooms plus 2 beautifully appointed custom tile & marble baths. Pine floors throughout add to this lovely home’s personality, workspace area and additional linen storage closet finish the second floor. Third floor sliding stained glass doors open to a spacious light flooded flex space w/ random wide pine floor & a wall of window seating. There is a separate office plus an additional bedroom for guests framed by large arched windows. A wonderful “bonus” is the fabulous carriage house w/ a stunning custom ceramic tile bath w/ heated floor, expansive sliding doors, ship lap walls & original elements of exposed beams and a stone fireplace adding to its understated country feel + well-planned workspace/food prep area featuring quartz counters & stainless refrigerator. All these amenities create an ideal place for celebrations & large family, friends’ gatherings.
