If you are looking for country living in a quintessential Bucks County home, look no further! This brick farmhouse-style home was originally built in 1935 as the parsonage for the church across the way. The current owners thoughtfully renovated the home to create modern functionality while maintaining its historic charm. From the outside, you'll note the stately brick walls, slate roof, and lush landscaping, along with newer windows (2015) all around. As you enter through the front door, step into an open area with hardwood floors, with the living room on the right and dining room on the left. The living room features wide molding and offers access to the side entrance. In the dining room, you'll note the original fireplace and its Mercer tile surround (check out the four corner tiles!), flanked by built-ins on the left (fireplace is non-functioning). Off the dining room, the former side porch was enclosed to create a sun/Florida room which features a brick wall and is currently used as a family/TV room. The dining room opens to the spacious kitchen featuring hardwood floors, a dining area, white shaker-style cabinets and white Whirlpool appliances. Plentiful counter space, a propane-fueled gas range and recessed lighting will make cooking a pleasure! An original window - the only one remaining in the house - overlooks the sun room from the kitchen. Continue through the kitchen into the large laundry room which can also be used as a mudroom. A powder room is tucked away off the laundry room. The laundry room offers access to the exterior through a side door to the driveway, or a rear door to the spacious deck. The deck overlooks the expansive yard, which is partially fenced. Back inside, from the living room ascend the stairs to the second level, where the hardwood floors continue through the hallway into the 3 nicely-sized bedrooms which are served by a hall bath with shower. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet; the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms also have large closets, one cedar-lined. From the hallway, there is a door to another staircase providing access to the large, high-ceilinged attic with plentiful space for storage. The full, unfinished basement offers additional storage space and also has all new windows. Newer septic, driveway and HVAC; electric was completely rewired and a new 200 amp panel added. New hot water heater was installed in May 2022. Located in the desirable Palisades School district. See it before it's gone!
