Property Description

This one-of-a-kind 1984 passive solar home called "Sunstone" was designed by George Britton, the co-founder of the Philadelphia Folksong Society and Folk Festival. Built with exposed Bucks County 180 year old barn beams, weathered wood and stone, it is quietly situated on a private road overlooking Whitemarsh township preserved space and on its own 1.15 acres. Enter a foyer to a hallway that opens up to an open space containing the living room, dining area and kitchen. The first floor has a large master bedroom with bath, a hall bath, a small bedroom and laundry. Open stairs lead up to a loft overlooking the living area and a small bedroom with slanted ceiling (so you can't stand up in part of it) and skylight which could be an office or playroom. The character is extraordinary, as good as any carriage house! Other features include: two car attached garage with inside access and plenty of driveway parking; central air; 1500 kilowatt generator in case of power outage; sliding doors to exterior from living room, dining area and small bedroom; kitchen with cherry cabinets, corian counters and dishwasher; insulated curtains; solar hot water heater; sun stones and a trombe (double) wall on south side designed to capture the heat of the sun and distribute it into the house; three solar panels; raised stone fireplace flanked by glass doors and views of the woods; adjustable shelves; first floor laundry; cow bell doorbell; yoke lighting fixtures in living room; wall air conditioner in master bedroom; three double closets in master bedroom; split block walls to hold and distribute heat; folding desk in loft room; dry stone walls around driveway and back yard; 2009 dimensional shingle roof; well water (so no chlorine or fluoride added); huge, very usable walkout basement could be studio/workshop/home office or possibly finished space; quarry tiles in great room absorb heat in winter when there are no leaves on trees and stay cool in summer. Lots of closets and storage in basement and two attics. The location is secluded yet just 1/2 mile to the Miquon train station and trails to center city and Valley Forge.
