Built in 1792

Big, beautiful farmhouse-style home with a rich history and a number of recent updates. Built in 1792, this three story, 3,497 sf house sits on a 4.9 acre lot with a natural spring in the back. The house features tall ceilings, original wide plank flooring throughout, 5 fireplaces, dual interior stairwells (with original pie slice steps for the rear stairwell), 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, separate dining room, living room and den/library, along with a large basement for ample storage. The property itself features a large pond and abundant greenspace throughout the nearly 5 acre lot. Regarding its historic charm, the property was originally deeded by William Penn to Thomas Hillborn in 1702, whose Quaker family would go on to open their home as safe haven as a part of the Underground Railroad during the 1840s and 1850s. More recently, the property has seen a number of investments in order to preserve and enhance this wonderful home, including a complete rewiring of the house, full resurfacing and painting of the interior drywall and plaster, exterior masonry including repointing of the house's beautiful stone and replacement of the side patio, roofing work including replacement of the dormers and chimneys, replacement of the rear bilco door, and hardscaping/landscaping improvements including new driveway gravel and removal of ivy/wisteria and 4 large trees. Full detail on work completed and additional historical details about the property have been included in the seller documents. Come experience serene Bucks County living and make this charming Newtown house your picturesque home.
