Property Description
OFFERS RECEIVED. ALL OFFERS DUE BY TUESDAY AT 12:00 PM. Merrie Dell Farm was once a horse farm and, later, the home of renowned mystery writer Martha Grimes. Today, this classic 1700s Bucks County stone colonial and stone spring house boasts almost 25 acres of preserved fields and woodlands. Three Mile Run Creek flows through the property and is classified as a protected, trout stocked waterway.
The magical qualities of Merrie Dell Farm begin at introduction to the enchanting stone farmhouse, with its large bluestone patio. A timeless representation of its Bucks County heritage, the living room has random width antique floors and period moldings, exposed ceiling beams, deep windows and an original walk-in fireplace. A dining room and well-appointed kitchen are just beyond. Both the office and family room offer walls of windows looking down into the valley. A first-floor primary suite is an unexpected yet welcome feature in this vintage PA stone home, with an ensuite bath and multiple closets. Upstairs, three charming bedrooms, all with original details, and a hall bath, are on the second floor.
Outside, the property offers extensive privacy and lush creekside views. An in-ground pool is nearby, while a small stream trickles down to Three Mile Run Creek. The detached 4-car garage includes a workshop in the back for hobbies or storage. Both inside and out, the 1700s character and ageless dignity are evident in this quintessential Bucks County property, appreciated and tended for generations.
