Originally an 1850s log cabin, this Bucks County gem sits at the end of a long drive, on 9 private acres, where history and convenience blend effortlessly. The rich history of this property is additionally defined by its location on Buckwampum Mountain, one of the highest points in Bucks County, identified by its early Indian name. At first glance it is evident that the home~s historical details have been richly preserved. Wood floors, pie stairs, hidden log walls, beamed ceilings, deep windowsills and a fireplace with an 18th century wood mantel, recall a bygone era. In complement is the new gourmet kitchen, with granite counters and marble backsplash, stainless farm sink, new appliances and bamboo floors, opening to a deck for summer dining. The first floor continues into dining and living areas, a master suite and bath, den and 2nd bedroom with full bath. But it is the second floor that will enchant, with a large, vaulted bedroom, loft and new bath.Additionally, every visitor will long remember the extensive perennial gardens, the woodland walking paths, exquisite stone smokehouse, the three picturesque pergolas, and the meandering stone walls and creek. Privately sited down a winding path is an 1840~s, rare ~English~ barn. Finally, there are garden and wood sheds and an oversized 2 car garage with a large second floor for studio and storage. Wood Thrush farm, named for these resident birds who provide nightly concerts of birdsong, is situated on a bright, south facing slope, gently uphill from a quiet country road that time seems to have forgotten. In the winter there are long distance views of the lovely Bucks County countryside ~ where rolling hills and verdant farmland are the pre-eminent views.
