Description
—Welcome to 978 2nd Avenue, where historical charm seamlessly marries modern luxury. Built in the early 1800’s by Jacob Wismer, this colonial farmhouse has been beautifully restored by its present owners. Situated on a stunning 2.14-acre plot, the house is surrounded by picturesque gardens designed by Donald Pell, which initially received two awards upon completion. The gardens feature hand-cut salvaged fieldstone utilized for edging, paving, and new retaining walls to compliment the existing ones. Steps away from the home is a timber-framed lean-to barn designed to house two cars and a workshop with plenty of storage. The barn is lit with industrial style lighting chandeliers and fixtures. As you enter the home, you are greeted by a kitchen that blends vintage charm with modern convenience, showcasing custom cabinetry hand-planed by Roger Wright, beautifully contrasted by Bucks County soapstone countertops and a classic farmhouse sink. The island features reclaimed wood from the original porch, creating a warm focal point. High-end Miele appliances, including a custom paneled refrigerator, ensure culinary excellence when entertaining family and friends. The kitchen slider opens up to a slate terrace with a delightful setup for outdoor living. From this terrace you can enjoy the gardens, barn ruins and borrowed views of a meadow with a serene creek and wetlands located to the east of the home. The combination of a Master Spa Jacuzzi and the inviting terrace create an ideal ambiance for unwinding and socializing. Throughout the home, heirloom-quality lighting handcrafted by Authentic Designs in Vermont adds a touch of elegance, enhancing the farmhouse's historic charm. Sunlight bathes this home through expansive windows, illuminating intricate molding and showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era. At the heart of the living room, a striking wood paneled fireplace commands attention and you can just imagine its flickering flames providing both warmth and a gathering point for all. The family room features tailored built-in wall cabinetry for the TV and sound system. This custom built-in offers storage solutions and contributes to a tidy environment. The design of the cabinetry also affords the room to be seamlessly turned into a formal dining space should it be preferred. As you make your way to the second floor, the exquisite walnut railing atop the balusters is sure to catch your eye. Cozy bedrooms are showcased by exposing the wood ceiling beams which contributes to creating a sense of warmth while adding depth and a sense of history to the space. The primary bedroom features an updated bathroom offering a luxurious and functional space to include a jetted tub. Completing the space is a walk in closet designed to offer ample storage and functionality. The renovated hall bath offers timeless charm and elegance with its refined finishes. As you continue up to the third floor, you'll find a versatile attic space that's heated, cooled, and insulated—ready to be transformed into whatever you envision. Below the kitchen addition, you'll discover a sophisticated library with custom bookcases perfect for showcasing your literary collection, with an exposed stone wall adding timeless character. The nearby half bath enhances the functionality and comfort of this inviting space. Across from the library, exists an unfinished space which offers endless possibilities for customization by the new homeowners. The space is fully exposed and waiting for you to complete it. Perhaps an entertainment area to include a pub and game table. Its walkout design also provides convenient access to the outdoors and a walkway that leads to a dry well and a root cellar. Seize this opportunity to own a piece of history, your chance to own a quintessential Pennsylvania farmhouse, where every corner exudes character and charm, waiting for you to call it home.
