Stone Cottage Woods

This history of Stone Cottage Woods dates back to the earliest settlement of Williams and Durham Townships. The original restoration revealed architectural details which would date the structure to the early to mid-18th century, making it one of the area's oldest surviving homes.

Today, it is the quintessential 'Bucks County stone farmhouse", expanded and modernized into a gracious home. Beautifully landscaped with stone walls and patio, a lively Koi pond, fully fenced yard and a private in-ground pool, the property boasts expansive views of Stouts Valley and includes an acre of undeveloped woods in back.

The rustic farmhouse ambiance with two walk-in fireplaces, wide-plank heart pine floors and exposed beams, creates a cozy living and guest space with a private entrance. A 2005 addition gracefully wraps around the original cottage, exposing interior stone walls, and adding the drama of scale and light. Artistry abounds in Venetian plastered walls, gold and silver-leafed painting and unique fixtures and architectural details. The large, fully equipped eat-in kitchen (stainless steel appliances, gas range, hickory cabinets, travertine backsplash and granite counter tops) offers access to a private deck and wisteria covered pergola, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining by the pool. The kitchen steps down to the dining room with a Moravian tiled fireplace and pellet stove, and family room/library wired for a full house speaker system.

Each bedroom suite boasts a full private bath and sitting area. A dramatic foyer staircase leads to the graciously appointed master suite. There is a unique loft space that can be made into a 4th bedroom for that unexpected guest.

The walk out basement is partially finished and heated with a wood stove. A pull-down attic offers lots of storage. Toward the rear of the property is a 3-car garage and heated contractor/art studio, ideally suited for a home-based or commercial business. There is a potting shed and raised bed vegetable garden. The home also has a vibrant VRBO/Air BnB history as an extra source of income.

Whether you're seeking a country retreat conveniently accessible to New York City, New Hope or Philadelphia, or a historic stone farmhouse updated for modern living, Stone Cottage Woods is a home where one's senses and imagination can be rejuvenated and inspired.
