About This Property
Back on the Market! An idyllic piece of Buckingham Township's rural
past, the historic David Beans Farmhouse, dating to circa
1793-1806, is nestled on a peaceful country road on 2.57 acres of
lush gardens, various specimen trees, spring-fed pond, woodlands
and wetlands. The property was originally a part of a
400-acre patent from William Penn in 1702. The farmhouse is
listed on the Heritage Conservancy's local Register of Historic
Places while a facade easement and conservation easement with the
Heritage Conservancy protects the property as an important part of
the history and scenic value of Buckingham Township.
According to the conservation easement baseline
documentation: "the property embodies the distinctive
characteristics of an early nineteenth century Bucks County
farmhouse and maintains integrity of location, design, setting,
materials, workmanship, feeling, and association." Structures
on the property consist of the original farmhouse with later
kitchen addition, the original springhouse, a garage/workshop
(potential for home office or studio) and charming garden shed. The
facade easement protects the older sections of the home and
springhouse. The easement makes provisions for an addition to
the southeast (rear) of the property, which would be an ideal
setting to take in the unparalleled beauty of the gardens,
woodlands, and pond. The property is in the Paunacussing Creek
watershed, a remarkable natural habitat for a variety of wildlife,
including birds, amphibians and koi inhabiting the pond.
There are magnificent old growth trees, including four
protected specimen trees: A massive sycamore tree, two evergreen
hollies and a magnolia grandiflora. This is truly a breathtaking
and rare natural setting! Preserved farmland in this region of
Buckingham township offers protected views driving to and from the
property. The oldest part of the home (circa 1793-1806) is stucco
over stone with six over six windows. This section offers a
formal living room with fine woodwork, fireplace with detailed
mantel, built-ins, beamed ceiling and handsome original hardwood
floors. The original paneled door with antique lock leads to
a side porch and a staircase leads to the second level. Off
the living room is a charming library with tiled fireplace,
built-ins, beamed ceiling, hardwood floors and half bath. The
dining room is part of a circa 1840s addition with walk-in
fireplace, basement access and second stairs leading to the master
bedroom. Another original door leads to the porch. The
kitchen addition dates to the 1970s and 1980s with cathedral
ceilings, a wall of Pella windows overlooking the property,
clerestory windows, laundry and access to the mudroom. The
second floor offers two bedrooms with low ceilings (approx. 6' 6"),
a full bath and walk-up attic access, perfect for storage.
The pitched slate roof is accented by artistic lightning rods.
The original springhouse is accented by gardens. There
is large garage/workshop with second floor storage that might make
a great studio or home office. Another distinctive structure
is the garden shed with double pent eaves. A blissful piece
of historic Bucks County, convenient to vibrant downtown
Doylestown, New Hope, Philadelphia and New York! The present
owner has lovingly cared for this heritage home for decades and is
now seeking a new owner to become its next steward. This is a
rare opportunity to own a local landmark while bringing your own
vision for a potential addition and interior renovations. New
elevated sand mound design complete with a location behind the
barn. Seller will cover the cost of installation and will
negotiate with buyer on credit. Other than the sand mound, this
will be an "as is" sale. Reports and some estimates
available.
