PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
A comfortable Cape Code on three wooded acres, with stream and wildlife pond, provides a rustic retreat in Upper Bucks County, minutes from Lakes Towhee and Nockamixon, with easy access to I-78, PA Turnpike, & Hwys 313, 611, & 309. Terraced woodland steps lead visitors to the front door where a slate entryway welcomes you to a bright living room with hardwood floors and large, south facing windows that give open views of the wooded front yard. The spacious country kitchen is well appointed with open display shelves and cabinets. The dining area has access to a broad deck through a glass sliding door which affords views of the woods and fenced backyard landscaped with a pond, native plants (selected to attract birds and butterflies), raised beds, mulched paths, and terraces that blend into the woodland. Two first floor bedrooms are currently used as home offices, with windows overlooking front / backyards. Upstairs, a comfortable master bedroom and additional bedroom offer south and west tree top views and gabled space with hardwood floors. The basement has a sound-proofed ‘music’ room currently used as a gym room, with plenty of unfinished space for storage, a workshop, laundry hook-up, and easy access to the backyard via a Bilco door. House and property well looked after by current owners, a childless
non-smoking couple, with no pets and "outdoor-shoes-off" custom, who have added many improvements and upgrades in the last two years. Moving to a new job.
