Property Description
Beans Farm, circa 1740, an exceptional historic estate in Bucks County is a once-in-a-lifetime offering, where history and beauty intertwine to create an extraordinary compound. The roots of this estate trace back to Colonial days, and as you turn into the long circular drive, you'll feel as though you've stumbled upon a real treasure. The grounds feature an impressive 3 story stone bank barn, a massive equipment shed/open garage, a carriage house offering a two-car garage w/2nd floor storage, a substantial corn crib, a smoke house, a well house, a wood shed, meticulously designed mature gardens that embodies the essence of a Bucks County farmhouse. A charming original stone cottage, known as the summer kitchen, with a fireplace, could be transformed into a guesthouse or studio having septic and water hook-up availability, with a deck overlooking the rear yard. A path of period bluestone pavers lead to the expansive covered front porch and main entrance, which was added to the original structure in 1847. Double doors lead to the spacious rooms inside with gleaming refinished pumpkin pine floors and exquisite woodworking details evoke a sense of timelessness that you just can’t find in modern construction. From the banquet-sized dining room to the cozy library, this estate home offers a perfect balance of formal and informal. The main level features the best of old and new, it has a modern yet rustic kitchen with the original grand walk-in stone fireplace, a spacious island, double sink and pantry area. The remaining first level offers the formal dining room, an elegant formal living room , a family room/library, a main floor bedroom with an en-suite full bath, the laundry room and a convenient powder room. The second level provides the primary bedroom having an adjacent walk-in dressing room and en-suite bath and three additional bedrooms that share a full bath with a private office room completing this level. The third floor includes another bedroom and three separate attic areas that could easily be converted to living spaces. With versatile sections for hobbies, work, and relaxation, this offering provides the perfect backdrop for a fulfilling lifestyle. The outdoor spaces, including a bluestone terrace, a covered porch, and a deck off the original stone cottage, provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Despite being so close to conveniences, this patch of paradise feels like a world of its own, offering a truly inspirational setting surrounded by preserved land.
