3242 STREET RD Doylestown, PA 18902

Rustic sophistication and serenity are the keynotes of this stunning post and beam home. Nature has provided a bamboo cathedral as the canopy sheltering a verdant drive leading to a bright clearing amidst a sylvan setting. Massive double front doors with iron hinges give way to its expansive open floor plan. Cedar paneled walls throughout lend the feeling of a converted barn or mountain lodge. Form and function is evident in iron T straps supporting massive beams and headers. Numerous lit insets showcase art and sculpture. A dramatic double story height kitchen with substantial cabinetry, granite counters, center island with propane range and professional appliances offers an inviting built in breakfast nook. Truly the heart of the home, its great room with soaring ceilings and window walls overlooks a sunlit woodland with hardwoods and native rhododendron and ferns and is anchored by an oversized field stone fireplace with raised hearth. The open dining room, ideally sited off the kitchen and great room seems to float between the two yet is connected and defined by its features. Two first floor bedrooms (one en suite and one with an adjacent bath and fireplace) provide one level convenience. Tucked behind the great room is a bright and cozy study; truly a charming spot from which to work from home. A second floor sunny loft sitting room and master bedroom suite with treetop views are peaceful havens and beckon rest and relaxation. A stunning grid effect concrete rear patio and stone walkways lead to a spectacular free form concrete pool and waterfall spa lined with boulders unearthed from the property. Near to the pool is a sweet cottage, framed by a wisteria covered portico offering 2 rooms, a half bath and storage space; a great guest house or artist studio. Beyond this area, walking trails through groomed woods and mature growth provide an ever changing park like experience. An attached two car and detached two car garages complete this very private compound. Beauty, quality, outstanding design and sensational setting come together in this unparalleled residence. Arrive and unwind.
