Property Description
One of the most unique, spectacular, historical and rare properties anywhere in Bucks County! Imagine owning a piece of history that is the Matthias Harvye House nestled on a compound between the Delaware River and the Canal in Washington Crossing. Cross the red bridge over the canal and be prepared to be transported to a different time and place. Let your imagination run wild as you envision enjoying everything that is part of this amazing 3 acre estate. The main house which dates to 1709 has been entirely updated and renovated with modern amenities, yet done consistently with the historical nature of the house. According to the historical narrative of the estate, Washington and his troops camped on the grounds before marching on Trenton! This 4 bed 3 bath historical masterpiece is reason enough to check out this property, but there is so much more! What started as a project to add a pool house, led the owners to Sean Tracy of Bucks County TimberCraft, and a fully restored barn was added to the estate. The barn, originally located in Kutztown, Pa and dating to about 1840, is truly remarkable. This 3 bed 4 bath masterpiece includes a fabulous, gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances, granite counters and cabinets made from re-claimed wood from the barn. Above one of the two sinks is a Moravian tile mosaic of Washington Crossing the Delaware in 1776. It seems that light shines on it perpetually! Spectacular high ceilings, walls of windows create light and airy space. Just steps beyond the barn and visible through glass panned French doors is the expansive, rectangular pool, which is surrounded by tall ornamental grasses and cobble and fieldstone patios. Outdoor entertaining is enhanced by the gorgeous exterior stone fireplace, a covered summer barn area along with a patio and fountain. Grab a bottle of wine from the wine cellar in the old ice building, and join friends for a wine tasting in this wonderful gem of a building. Gorgeous grounds, extensive landscaping, and unique colorful flowers surround the property. With amenities too numerous to list in full detail, cross the red bridge and enjoy and appreciate everything that is the Matthias Harvye estate and lifestyle!
