Property Description
At the end of a tree-lined drive in a prime Buckingham country setting, Stone Court Farm is a notable Bucks County property with 200+ years of rich history and character. Prominent historical figures visited this home ranging from Gen.George Washington's cavalry and convalescing Civil War soldiers to Helen Keller and Madame Chiang Kai-shek who came as guest of renowned sculptor Jo Davidson when he owned the property in the 1940s. The farm is situated on over 11 acres with formal terraces, gardens, a fountain and stately mature trees reminiscent of the English countryside. The beautifully maintained center-hall house is perfectly situated for maximum natural light and vistas in all directions. The home boasts high ceilings, large windows, extensive millwork and spacious rooms. The original section of the home, now the dining room, includes a huge walk-in fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The living room is paneled in antique cherry with a pumpkin pine floor and fireplace. The updated, custom island kitchen by William Draper is outfitted with chocolate granite countertops and reclaimed wood flooring. A mudroom just off the kitchen features radiant heated floors and opens to the expansive stone courtyard and formal gardens. An office with a fabulous picture window, built-ins and a powder room complete the first floor. A graceful center hall stairwell and rear staircase lead to private quarters on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The main bedroom includes a sitting room/office, wood-burning fireplace, dressing room, updated bath and wonderful views. Completing the 2nd floor is another en suite bedroom, a laundry area and additional full bath. The hall bath serves the third-floor bedroom and features a slipper-back soaking tub, fireplace and separate water closet. The guest cottage with modern comforts and many original architectural details has exposed stone walls, a fireplace, full kitchen, full bath and bedroom with vaulted ceiling, fireplace and light from clerestory and skylight windows. Jo Davidson used the cottage as his studio where he formed blocks of clay into detailed, nuanced busts and figures of U.S. presidents, poets, scientists and others for public installations around the world. The barn contains a two-bedroom apartment on the upper level with a living room, fireplace, full kitchen and 1.5 baths and the lower level has 3-car parking and storage space. The property has been maintained with a long list of improvements. Possible subdivision.
