Property Description

Rare opportunity to own one of the oldest and most historic properties in Solebury Township. Circa 1704, the last two owners of Primrose Run Farm occupied this property for more than 100 years. Now it is your opportunity to be the next steward and restore and preserve this historic treasure. Plastered stone and frame farmhouse, bank barn with garages below, tractor storage, chicken coop, stone spring house, pond, and a charming two-story artist cottage occupy the 11.63 acres of conserved land. The main floor living room has a walk-in fireplace, oak floors , deep sill windows and multiple built-in cabinets, including two corner cabinets in the dining room. The country kitchen has pine cabinets and is open to the family room with built-ins and a picture window to enjoy rear views. There’s a half bath and a hall with exterior door to the side covered porch and 2-level rear screened flagstone porches. Three staircases take you to the second level with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have access to a covered porch that overlooks the pond and rear meadow. All the bedrooms have plaster walls, a mix of random width pine flooring. Another staircase takes you to the third level that has roughly finishe attic rooms. Plenty of storage, but bring your imagination. The basement has a new oil burner, an inside oil tank, workshop, and greenhouse with outside access. Note that the conservation easement provides two building envelopes for family dwellings but also permits agricultural building for farm use. Convenient to shopping, dining, entertainment and recreation in New Hope and Bucks County, there are commuting routes to Philadelphia, Princeton, and NYC. This home can be a showstopper and a private sanctuary of serenity and beauty. Enjoy wildlife, birds, flowers, open pastures, and woods. Welcome home, indeed!
