Property Description
Residing in prestigious Upper Makefield, this idyllic luxury estate is a lesson in extraordinary living. Built in the year 1752, this remarkable estate holds a distinguished place on the National Register of Historic Places and historically functioned as a medical facility for the troops of George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Nestled in a serene setting, the property includes a charming two-bedroom carriage house, a picturesque natural swimming pool that enhances the landscape, and a tennis court perfect for leisurely pursuits. An architectural masterpiece, the stately farmhouse hosts an awe inspiring sun-drenched great room with a library, vaulted ceilings and gas fireplace. A custom William Draper kitchen, rich wide-plank floors, exposed beams, custom millwork and six noble fireplaces also grace this extraordinary home. Additionally, the original bank-barn has been cleverly transformed to serve dual purposes as both a pool house and a garage. Surrounded by vibrant gardens, sturdy trees, and a sprawling meadow, this residence offers an enchanting blend of historical importance and natural charm. Washington Crossing State Park, where Washington crossed the Delaware in 1776, is just a mile away and offers access to the renowned 58.89 mile canal tow-path, is home to the iconic narrow metal bridge, scenic views along the lake and beautiful trails for hiking, trail running and biking, as well as a museum and historical sites. Exceedingly private yet conveniently located near New Hope Borough-known for its riverside dining and theater experiences, this estate is also near major cities such as Philadelphia, Princeton, and New York City; making it ideal for commuters and urban lifestyles. 1789 Wrightstown Road represents the perfect fusion of Bucks County's cultured elegance and modern luxury. *** The bedroom count is reflective of 4 bedrooms in the main home and 2 bedrooms in the awe-inspiring carriage house.
