Property Description
This distinctive custom home is located just minutes from historic Newtown and Yardley Boroughs. It is part of an enclave of just 10 homes, offering a rare combination of space, natural beauty and convenience. You will know you are home as you enter the THE HIGHLANDS community. This exceptional homesite encompasses 10 beautiful acres in the heart of Upper Makefield. Take some time to sit on the covered front porch and enjoy the tranquil setting. Double front doors welcome you to a hardwood-floored entrance with an immediate view of the dramatic family room. This inviting gathering space features a soaring floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and custom-designed book and display shelving with a library-style sliding ladder which adds warmth and character to this room. Direct access to the large deck creates an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. From here, the home unfolds to the formal dining room. Generous in size, it is well suited for special holiday meals or spontaneous social gathering. A large box window overlooks the rear gardens. At the heart of the home is the beautifully updated kitchen, thoughtfully designed with multiple work areas, custom inset cabinetry, a large center island and two sink areas. High-end appliances include a Wolf six- burner range, Electrolux double oven, two Miele dishwashers and two refrigerators. A furniture-style cabinet with its own sink provides an ideal coffee station or serving bar for entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, the light-filled breakfast room offers wonderful views of the perennial gardens and ever-changing landscape beyond. Bring your first cup of coffee into this inviting room or step into the spacious screened porch to enjoy views across the open fields and your own private woodlands. The gracious living room features a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. A separate study with an additional fireplace provides another wonderful space for quiet retreat or entertaining. Together, these rooms bring the home's total to three fireplaces. The FIRST- FLOOR primary bedroom suite creates a comfortable private retreat. It includes a specially designed dressing/makeup area, an updated en-suite bath and ample closet space. Direct access to the surrounding deck extends the living space outdoors. A recently updated powder room and generous laundry room with sink and cabinetry complete this portion of the main level. Convenient access to the side-entry four (4) car garage adds to the home's functionality. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, abundant closet space, a separate makeup station with sink and a full bath with both walk-in shower and tub/shower. Also on this level is an expansive walk-in, floored unfinished attic with a cedar closet. It offers valuable, easily accessible storage today, along with possibilities for a future owner's needs and vision. The lower level is partially finished with game room, wet bar, half bath and generous storage space. Numerous improvements enhance the property. These include a newer roof, driveway, front walkway, kitchen/breakfast room, hardwood flooring, primary bath, powder room, carpeting, water softener and four garage doors. The acreage is a defining feature of this exceptional property. Open land, perennial gardens and mature woodlands create a peaceful setting. The homesite is enrolled in Pennsylvania's Act 319 Forestry program, providing preferential tax assessment while helping preserve the land's natural character. With its distinctive architecture, thoughtful craftsmanship, flexible floor plan, extensive updates and expansive acreage, this is a property of uncommon presence and individuality. The landscape transforms beautifully each season from flowering gardens and open fields to mature woods and beyond. At the same time, the home remains close to all that the Newtown/Yardley area has to offer. Make this YOUR HOME.
