Property Description
Enter one of the nineteenth-century's earliest stone houses in Bucks County known as the Henry Hartzell House, documented by the Heritage Conservancy. According to Wikipiedia, Bethlehem Pike began as a Native American path called the Minsi Trail which developed into a colonial highway called the King's Road in the 1760s, connecting Philadelphia with Bethlehem. Surprising in an 1810 residence, you will find a straight staircase and a large foyer usually associated with manor houses. And that's not all: other architectural details identify with the 18th century: two corner fireplaces in the living room (originally two rooms); a large walk-in fireplace with shutters in the kitchen; a hand-rail built into the stairway wall. Beautiful beamed ceilings throughout, extra-wide plank ceilings on the second level (from the attic), deep window sills, wood floors, original crown molding are just some of the features preserving this house's integrity. An en-suite bedroom on the main floor could be used as a dining room. Additionally, a two-story garage provides welcome workshop space, with heat, extra electric outlets, and insulation. Less than an hour from Philadelphia.
