Property Description
In Bucks County's historic Wycombe Village sits this stately 5 bedroom brick Colonial gem on over an acre of manicured grounds, featuring elaborate boxwood and perennial gardens, and an in-ground heated saltwater pool. Impeccably maintained, the gracious home has been exquisitely restored and enhanced while preserving its original integrity. Midway between Newtown and Doylestown, and bordered by 114 acres of conservation land, the Squire Kirk House was designed in 1911 by noted architect Oscar Martin. From the wide Greek Revival front porch one enters into the graceful foyer with original oak hardwood floors which gleam throughout the entire home. To the right are solid mahogany pocket doors leading to the spacious dining room with dentil molding and chair rail. French doors open to the breakfast room and then on to the stunning new designer kitchen with granite counters and island, white custom cabinetry, stainless appliances and multiple windows with views of the pool and gardens. More French doors lead from both the kitchen and the breakfast room to a fenced brick patio and lawn area. An expansive, light-filled living room to the left of the foyer features 8-over-8 sash windows, extensive mill work and grand fireplace with Mercer tiles and original mantel. Completing the first floor is a powder room, mud room and laundry. The beautiful main staircase and separate butler's stairs take one to the 2nd floor with 3 bedrooms, including the extended master bedroom with multiple mahogany closets and well-appointed bath. The 3rd floor has been delightfully finished with 2 more bright bedrooms and a charming bath with custom cast iron tub. Also of note on this double lot are the pool cottage with a studio apartment and the 1 bedroom carriage house apartment over the brick detached garage, both offering opportunities for nanny quarters, in-laws, office, artist studio, or rental income. Additional highlights include a brand new $50K state-of-the-art septic system, slate roof, dual zoned HVAC, recessed lighting, mahogany doors with original oil-rubbed brass hardware, ceiling fans, and central vac system. This treasure is the epitome of historic grace and modern luxury living, in the Blue Ribbon Central Bucks School District, with low taxes, and within commuting distance of Phila, Princeton, and NYC (only 25 minutes to the Trenton Train platform). VC-1 Zoning permits B&B, home occupation, professional office, and both apartments are legal rentals.
