Property Description
A Wonderful Circa 1760 Solid Brick In-Town Residence with an Out in the Country Feel! The Huddleston Family were some of the very earliest settlers of Bucks County, nearly a hundred years before the Revolution. This home was originally built as a "twin home" by William Huddleston, as a wedding gift for his two daughters - this home has been thoughtfully cared for by the current owners, who are now ready to pass it along to the next caretakers. Much love & effort have gone into the re-imagining of the property over the most recent few decades - from the refinishing of the original random width Pumpkin Pine flooring that runs through the entire house, to the grounds filled with specimen plantings. Upon entering guests are welcomed into either of the two front parlors, each with an original fireplace. The brand new Stainless Steel & Granite Kitchen is an ideal counterpoint & compliment to the character of the original fireplace and pie-stairs (one of two sets in the home) for accessing the private sleeping quarters above. Just beyond the new kitchen is the charming pantry room with its brand new refrigerator, additional cabinetry & counter top space, the convenience of a full bath & direct access to the side yard and extensive gardens. Adjacent to the kitchen is the generously scaled formal dining room, also with its own decorative fireplace (behind the Oak Breakfront) & another set of pie-stairs. At the back of the home is the main floor's full laundry room with separate mud room that opens out to the large, arbor covered rear patio. Upstairs the uniquely inviting layout offers flexibility, convenience & privacy. The primary bedroom offers the warmth of the random width antique flooring & the character of an original fireplace, as well as an en-suite full bath. The second bedroom also has a decorative fireplace and is generous in size, as well. Bedroom number three readily offers a number of options - bedroom space with an adjoining sitting room (where the large closet is), a bedroom & office space combination, OR the seller would be willing to "add a doorway & short wall" to close off this space with an acceptable AOS. (The floor plans will help make the layout clear.) A wonderful bonus & an interesting option for a new owner is the huge, full attic on the 3rd floor with a set of pie-stairs at each end of the space. The attic is stand up height, with original raw random width flooring and loads of potential! As mentioned at the top of these remarks, the home was originally built as a twin, or side-by-side duplex - If so desired, a conversion back to its original 2 twin configuration could offer a new owner additional flexibility if distinctly separate living spaces were beneficial. Outdoors, the fully fenced property captures an oasis like feeling with its extensive perennial & specimen plantings, mature trees, two garden sheds, and wide variety of nooks, paths & settings to enjoy. This wonderfully private setting is just over a block away from Middletown Country Club's Golf Course, as well as the community farm co-op where vegetable garden plots may be leased for $50/season (2020 season). So much has been updated and improved upon that a scroll through the MATTERPORT 3D Presentation Above, as well as Your Own Personal Tour are a Must. Please Note: All of the Fireplaces & their Associated Chimneys are Non-Working & Decorative Only. The Newer HVAC System is a High Efficiency Unit, as such it is Direct Vented to the Outside with No Need for a Chimney.
