Property Description

An extraordinary opportunity awaits the lover of old stone houses that are steeped in history and have an abundance of original architectural features and details with modern amenities that create character, ambiance, and beauty. Welcome to the Balderson-Lloyd farmhouse, an exceptional property with 284 years of improvements and careful restoration. On the edge of Dolington Estates, it sits far back from the road on 1.5 acres of heavily screened land that provides privacy. Lighted stone pillars lead first to a 3-story carriage house, circa 1800s, and then to the house. Built in four sections, the first in 1740, it is a distinguished home. The front of the house has two covered entrances. Over one of them is an original emblem denoting that the house was insured by Benjamin Franklin! In later years a cottage-like, clapboard addition was built to provide a laundry room and half bath and a convenient entrance into the kitchen. Step into the 2-story kitchen and you will be delighted with the stone wall that was once the exterior of the house. Remaining are the authentic walk-in fireplace and an iron-covered beehive oven for baking bread, both now decorative. Handcrafted cherry cabinetry, granite counters, double wall oven and a 6-burner Jenn-Air gas cooktop in the large island provide a functional and beautiful kitchen that includes a casual dining area and stairs up to the loft and the main bedroom suite. The first floor continues with an enormous dining room and the great room with Delft tile fireplace. The second floor features two large bedrooms, the main one with ensuite bath and a door to the loft. There is also a tiled hall bathroom and large closet. Can you find the "secret" closet? Another staircase takes you to the third floor and two other bedrooms. Exterior amenities include the 3-story carriage house, circa 1800s, with four garage bays and a separate storage room. Above are two unfinished floors. A vintage potting shed, another large shed for storing equipment, and a charming playhouse add to the wonderful exterior areas. And then there's the stunning freeform pool and spa with an evergreen arch welcoming you to this fenced area with dense evergreen screening. Sophistication, comfort, original wide plank flooring everywhere, deep sill windows, vintage wood doors with iron hardware, five doors to the outside, covered porch w/Mercer tiles, a patio, many sitting areas for relaxation, playing, eating, entertaining. This exceptional property has it all, including public water and sewer. Private but not isolated, it is in a location with easy access to great shopping, dining, recreation (including the Delaware River) and commuting roads to NY, Princeton, and Philadelphia. Pennsbury School District. Here the living is easy. Now, if only the walls could talk. Welcome home!
