Property Description
This hidden jewel tucked amid gorgeous gardens will arouse your delight in natural beauty and your creative instincts. You will be awestruck by the deep backyard with its fish and lily pond and abundance of rare blooming plants and trees to enjoy in every season from every vantage point inside and out.
This was longtime home to an artist / writer / gardener couple who designed colorful, fragrant plantings for privacy, beauty, and spiritual rejuvenation. Native trees and shrubs shade the house and keep it cool.
Note the handmade Mercer tiles flanking the front entrance that welcome you into this surprisingly spacious home where original hardwood floors lead between living room, dining room, kitchen, and hall in a convenient light-filled circle with entrances both front and back. Inside, the tremendous, bright living room, with bay window overlooking the front garden, features bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace, whose hearth is made from original Mercer tiles. The living room opens to the spacious dining room with its charming original corner cupboards whose windows face the back gardens, and the bright, quarry-tiled sunroom with vaulted ceiling, skylight, picture window overlooking the totally private side garden, and a separate electric heat source. Both the dining room and solarium access the large screened porch - a perfect private oasis where perfumed plants, birdsong, and gentle breezes provide pleasure over three seasons.
The galley style kitchen calls to your creative side with efficient space and cabinets, a large pantry housing a stacked washer-dryer, shelved closet next to the powder room, and kitchen porch leading to the back garden. The basement and two-car garage are also reached from the kitchen.
On the second floor, three unbelievably huge rooms with hardwood floors and surprisingly good closet spaces can be used as bedrooms or home offices. The previous owners used one as an art studio and another as home office and tv room. The upstairs hall bath showcases the original and perfect ceramic tilework of the 40's as does the powder room downstairs. The full basement is dry and provides options for storage, work area, and play space. This location is ideal for easy access to the Trenton or Yardley train stations as well as Rte 1, I-295, and the PA Turnpike - all within 5-10 mins from home! Part of the desirable Westover neighborhood in the Pennsbury School District, this home is available in time for the start of school.
