Historic Farm on the Park where sun filters through mature trees onto the pristine facade of this c. 1880 Bucks County Classic home. This Bucks County Classic sits on a country road with 17 acres attached directly to the Bucks County Horse Park in Ottsville. There are only a handful of properties adjacent to the Horse Park and this one offers a new 9 stall horse barn complete with every amenity. And, with 1200 ft of road frontage there is plenty of opportunity for future lot subdivisions. The almost 3,000 SF home has a newly renovated kitchen with Virginia Soapstone counters, hand made ceramic wall tile, custom maple with glass cabinets, Italian Verona 5 burner gas range with double electric oven, stainless Victory hood, Shaw's English ceramic farm sink, Bosche dishwasher and Barber Wilson English double faucet. The new kitchen includes an eat-in dining area and a walk-in pantry where the Whirlpool refrigerator lives with multiple shelves for all of your cooking needs. The kitchen resides in the original section of the home and the windows have custom hardwood sills to accentuate the depth and beauty of each window. The hardwood floor is a wormy American Chestnut hand-picked and installed by the current owners. The large attached dining room has the same Chestnut floors and boasts a lovely Hubberton Forge chandelier and large arched doorway which opens to the oversized living room. The living room has multiple windows for bright light and has a full wall of local stone that surrounds the wood-burning fireplace. The first floor of the home has a newly installed full bath and large mudroom perfect for the dog owner since the mudroom is attached to a large fenced yard. The first floor also offers a separate entrance to a large bedroom with plumbing for a future kitchenette. Perfect design for in-law suite or farm help. The second floor offers three large bedrooms with another full bath and 1/2 bath and a very large laundry room. The entire second floor has oak hardwood floors and is flooded with natural light from multiple windows. The second-floor laundry is very large and open and a must-have for any family. The walk-up attic is the entire length and width of the house and offers unlimited storage and possible room for expansion. This house was renovated in the 1960's which offers the large open rooms and the current owners have just installed a new central air-conditioning system. There is also a less than 5 yo Burnham Oil burner for heat in the winter.
The newly built barn is 60x60 ft. The barn includes a total of 9 stalls, 5 are 12x12 and 4 are 14x10. Each stall has its own fan and lighting. The aisle is 13 ft wide with inset rubber and concrete. All of the stalls feature dutch doors leading outside and the interior doors are full ventilation metal. The metal roof has insulation to keep the barn cool in the summer and warm in the winter. There is a shower stall with hot and cold running water and all of the lighting is LED tubing which brings bright natural light into the barn and eliminates shadows most barn lighting causes. The tack room is heated and air-conditioned with a double sink with hot and cold running water and has a composting toilet. There are multiple dry lots all with drainage and layers of stone and pebbles so the horse will never be in mud or water.
Of course, one of the most important and significant features of this property is the direct access to the Bucks County Horse Park. Imagine never having to trailer anywhere again. Ride directly from your own property to miles of trails or meet your trainer for lessons on the cross country courses or in the dressage arenas. It will be very easy to find boarders looking to have such access to safe manicured trails. This is a very special property for the horse enthusiast, historic home lover, and anyone who wants privacy.
