1005 RIVER RD, Erwinna, PA, 18920

Rarely are iconic and historical properties matched with such dedicated, comprehensive and accurate restoration. This modern expansion & renovation is in complete symphony with the centuries old craftsmanship. Set on 30+ acres, Sugaree Farm is surrounded by fertile river valley farmland and yet just steps to the Delaware River and walking distance to Frenchtown with it's shops, restaurants and new performing arts center. With its original footprint dating back to 1788, hand hewn pumpkin pine floors, exposed fieldstone walls, and ornate custom millwork are the overture to this master piece. Enter through the front door to a welcoming foyer that leads to a sunny eat in kitchen with butcher block island, floor to ceiling stone walls, pendant lighting and wide plank pine floors. Cross the quarry stone threshold into the original foot print with deep windowsills, pumpkin pine floors, dining room built in cabinetry and original farmhouse pine ledged door. The seamless addition offers an expansive family room with views of planted fields , a floor to ceiling fieldstone fireplace and an additional sitting room for quiet conversations or hours with a novel. The upstairs has a spacious master suite with study, large master bath, and French doors to a warp around porch that provides views of gentle farm land in every direction. There are two more generous bedrooms as part of the original structure that are warm with antique building materials and seem more fitted for lanterns than electric light. The original staircase is worn as only centuries of foot traffic can do, bowing in to the countless steps of 170 years and generations of local gentry and welcomed guests. The exterior in whole has been painstakingly restored and matched to period specific Italianate farmhouse architecture. The original 2 story Pennsylvania bank barn has had a complete exterior renovation by local artisan stone masons. The barn interior 2nd story is framed out and permitted for a 2 bedroom guest suite with full kitchen and laundry. There is also an oversized two car detached garage with heated work shop, storage area and multiple equipment bays. This venerable and authentic Bucks County farmhouse is truly an architectural achievement inviting a new steward. It's your turn to become a part of the story.
