Property Description

Situated in the historic district of Newtown, Pa., one of America's most picturesque small towns, "The Parsonage" is a superbly restored, c. 1864 residence that has been featured in magazines, on house and garden tours and in numerous paintings. With rich original details inside and out, this Carpenter Gothic Victorian originally was built for a church parsonage. Now, as a residence, its picture-perfect front porch opens into a pristine interior featuring large-scale formal rooms, high ceilings, oak and pine flooring, and notably, exquisite plaster moldings and medallions. Its extra-wide foyer with the home's main staircase is flanked by two gracious parlors: to the right, a formal living room and to the left, a family room. Both feature gas fireplaces with historically correct surrounds, tall windows and very comfortable proportions with high ceilings. Just beyond is a formal dining room with two built-in cupboards and access to a rear staircase. The Living Quarters kitchen is beautifully designed and updated with granite countertops and newer appliances. Step down to a breakfast area that opens to an enchanting, very private patio and professionally designed gardens that provide scenic views from nearly every window. Private quarters on the second floor include a main suite bedroom with an updated bath finished with a Carrara marble shower. There are two additional bedrooms on this floor with one presently used as an office plus a hall bath. All rooms feature lovely architectural details. The third floor is a complete suite of three bedrooms, a lounge/common area, kitchenette and full bath, perfect for family guests or an au pair. As a bonus, there is a cute-as-a-button, two-car detached garage and more off street parking. Walkable to all of Newtown's shops and restaurants, this residence is one of Bucks County's finest historical houses with outstanding quality throughout and lovely outdoor spaces that make it a choice option for in-town living.
