Easy access to Delaware Canal Towpath & Fabulous River Valley! As you approach this stately, refined early fieldstone Victorian with its hand cut quoins, impressive bay window & eye-catching dormer you also capture a sense of tranquility evoking a simpler time. Notably, this property rests on an original part of the first land grant in Solebury Township given by William Penn to George Pownall a Quaker in 1682. Built when proportion was respected and attention to detail was standard. This remarkable home truly enjoys a parklike setting on approximately 2.7 acres pleasantly positioned amongst towering pine, Kentucky coffee, ornamental trees & a myriad of shrubs & perennials. A magnificent age-old catalpa tree & wisteria covered pergola add to the mix. Dry laid stone walls create a backdrop for a glorious stone patio w/ brick border looking on a reflecting pool w/ a whimsical cherub fountain. What a great place for an evening soiree. Abundant windows throughout, many of them arched, bring the outside in. Several rooms on the main floor open to stone walkways, patios and a sheltered covered porch. You enter this remarkable home through a period double door looking on to the central staircase which divides both the elegant living room w/ mantled fireplace and an adjacent family room, both w/ lofty ceilings. There are so many original architectural features & qualities to enjoy as you move through this splendid yet relaxed home. Crown moldings, fine woodwork, chamfered plaster, deep windowsills, wainscoting, original hardware, hardwood & wide pine floors and subtle accents add to its unique qualities & character. A den offers tall original cabinetry, plank paneled walls & custom half bath. There is an adjacent laundry. The dining room w/ pine floor is complemented w/ wainscot & original paneling. It opens to an enclosed sunroom. The perfect place to relax & read a book. You also have access to an open covered porch to while away an afternoon & seasonable dining.
