Property Description
Interested in owning your own piece of history in picturesque Wycombe? Located in a bucolic village setting, this captivating Folk Victorian is a step-back in time, exuding turn-of-the-century warmth and charm, yet brought to modern times with newer additions, renovations and upgraded features. The Emma Hall House, built in 1895, is situated in the heart of the Wycombe Village Historic District, which is on the National Historic Register, but is not itself registered as such. Footsteps away from the home, lies the original Post Office, the restored Reading Company Station house, and many unique homes of the period; most built between 1891-1915. Your tour begins with the quintessential Victorian wrap-around porch, with lofty beamed ceiling and original front and side entry doors. The first floor front entry hall features a handsome, classically-detailed staircase. In the living room, custom built book/curio shelving frames the doorway into the adjacent bay-windowed study. Next, enter the formal, yet cozy dining room,
with crown moldings, ceiling beams, and closets. Inside the sunny sky-lit kitchen, with dining area, admire the original, built-in buffet & cupboard with marble top and the abundant built-in shelving. From here, step down into the large light-filled 4-season family room with 2 skylights, and one of the room's focal points- the Vermont brick & Mercer tile-framed woodstove with bold mantelpiece; perfect for large gatherings! Stunning views of the outdoors are provided by the full wall of windows and a french doors leading to the backyard. {Note: The family room, kitchen addition/renovation and a half bath were completed in 1990, skylights and family room roof new in 2021}. On the second floor you'll find two bedrooms; one with lovely pocket doors and both with original millwork detail, plus a generous full bath with jacuzzi tub/shower. The third attic level renovation offers a finished third bedroom, and a bonus room with skylight, perfect for a private office space ,an exercise room, or simply relaxing . This home is replete with striking architectural details: gabled roof with fretwork trim, wainscoting, pocket doors, beautiful moldings and built-ins; all set on a serene, landscaped lot with mature trees and shrubbery. Enjoy your own fenced-in backyard oasis with a patio ideal for weekend entertaining, and a 19th century Carriage House with bay window, a ceiling fan and electricity. Finally, a vintage potting shed, woodshed and driveway that parks 3 cars. This unique example of Bucks country living is a must-see, just waiting for you to make it your very own. Conveniently located near restaurants, farmers' markets, retail shops, wineries, parks and woodland preserves, like the 1711 acre Tyler State Park {about a 12 minute drive}, plus city and vacation destinations!
