Breathtaking architecture on three wooded acres provides a residence as equally well-suited for entertaining as it is for tranquil everyday living in this Bucks County treasure. The Scandinavian influence is evident in the full walls of glass and dramatic windows that bring the outside in, a central chimney that provides a fireplace on every floor, and the use of natural materials including slate and oak floors. Lovely custom details with a touch of whimsy grace the interior, and the current owners have made extensive improvements. The main floor offers a spacious foyer entrance, library with skylight, powder room and sitting room all on one side of a double fireplace with newly installed woodstove insert. On the other side is the showstopping open living and dining space with vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, custom conversation pit with integrated storage that seats a crowd, and a just-installed wall of custom 12-foot glass bifold doors that allow the separation between the inside and the expansive Ipe wood deck with multiple entertaining areas to all but disappear. The corner breakfast room has two walls of floor-to-double-story-ceiling windows, from which the current owners eliminated a wall and added a breakfast bar to make it more open to the kitchen, where the Scandinavian design principles really come to life. Functional details like a prep sink, pot filler and wine fridge are integrated into the understated warmth and luxury of oak flat-front cabinets alongside fresh quartz countertops and glazed ceramic tile backsplash. The second story has a large central sitting room with fireplace overlooking the living room with a newly renovated terrazzo tile bathroom, two bedrooms, and an office with French doors to a balcony. The third floor is the peaceful primary suite, with a fireplace and sliders to a balcony that spans the entire side of the house and overlooks the wooded hillside and pool area. Soak among the treetops in the gorgeously remodeled en suite, where the tub sits beneath a span of oversized sloped windows, or enjoy the same view from the curbless shower with fluted marble surround. The delightful walkout lower level has a wet bar, a large den with oversized French doors to a cobblestone patio, a guest suite with a newly renovated bathroom, and access to the laundry room. Just as stunning as the home itself is the newly plastered pool and spa with flagstone pavers, which are framed by a decorative wall on one side and an expanse of woods on the other. Other exterior upgrades include new elegant black Hardie board and batten siding and a fence encompassing a large area of the yard and pool. In a bucolic Bucks County setting and down a private road, the home is away-from-it-all yet a short drive to Doylestown, New Hope, and Lambertville, making it both a desirable year-round residence and an attractive getaway for Philadelphians and New Yorkers alike.
