About This Home
Welcome to this stunning Bucks County estate where timeless craftsmanship, natural beauty, and refined living converge on 5 breathtaking acres within the coveted Council Rock North school district. Set gracefully beyond a meadow of pollinators and framed by a wraparound porch, this custom masterpiece invites you to savor sunrise mornings overlooking your private landscape. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a residence that is grand in scale and intimate in comfort. A soaring 2-story foyer with dramatic turned staircase, rich wainscoting, thick crown molding, arched hallways with keystones, and transom windows introduces interiors bathed in natural light. Hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, leading into a sophisticated formal living room adorned with a coffered ceiling and gas fireplace. French doors open to a serene deck echoing gentle sounds of the nearby Neshaminy Creek. The chef’s kitchen is nothing short of extraordinary, designed for culinary artistry and elegant entertaining. Granite counters, knotted pine cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigerator, 48” gas range, pot filler, double ovens, wine refrigerator, stand mixer appliance lift, and an expansive island with butcher block carving station anchor the space. A tray ceiling breakfast room wrapped in windows provides the perfect setting for quiet gatherings. The great room impresses with its cathedral ceiling, wood-burning fireplace, and architectural trim, creating a warm yet dramatic space for connection. This wing of the home is enhanced by a walk-in pantry, coffee station or dry bar, well-appointed laundry room with folding station, powder room, and direct access to the oversized three-car garage. On the opposite wing, formal entertaining shines in the elegant dining room. An executive office with custom cherry cabinetry, an additional powder room, and walk-in closet contributes to sophistication and functionality. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue through the hallways accessed by both formal and casual staircases. The primary suite is a haven, featuring a tray ceiling, extended sitting area, vanity station, and dual walk-in closets. The spa-inspired bathroom boasts separate vanities, a soaking tub, private water closet, and an expansive shower with dual rain heads, all overlooking panoramic views of the estate grounds. A princess suite enjoys a spacious closet and its own private bath, while two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets share a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill bath with separate private shower and toilet. A thoughtful loft area creates a designated homework zone or additional home office. The third-floor retreat is comprised of a wooden ceiling, dormer windows, generous closet space, and newer carpeting, offering versatility as a fifth bedroom, studio, or lounge. The walk-out daylight lower level is designed for unforgettable entertaining, with gas fireplace, recreation area for pool table and games, full bar with sink and refrigeration, and a spacious fitness room adjacent to a fourth full bath. The unfinished section features abundant storage. Outdoor living rivals a private resort. The saltwater gunite pool creates a focal point for summer gatherings, with waterfall and spacious integrated hot tub for up to twelve friends. A charming pool house includes a powder room, storage, and space for a future tiki bar or cabana lounge. At the rear of the property, a substantial pole barn with oversized doors, two deep garage bays, workshop space, and second-floor storage provides extraordinary utility for hobbyists or collectors. Newer roof (2017), HVAC system (2018), water heater (2023), robust 400-amp electrical service, and a partial house generator, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Adjacent to preserved land, this extraordinary estate represents a rare opportunity to own a private sanctuary where luxury, land, and lifestyle align. Experience the estate that redefines elevated Bucks County living.
