Merestone Farm, a more than two-century old stone renovated farmhouse located on the banks of Lake Nockamixon, Pennsylvania, is now available on the market for $3.2 million.
Situated 85 miles from New York City and 40 miles from Philadelphia, Merestone Farm is still intact despite the fact that it was built more than two hundred years ago, specifically 1810, according to Architectural
Digest. The 3,670-square feet farm includes a barn, which has been transformed into a spacious timber guesthouse.
The main house features five bedrooms and three bathrooms, and the main bedroom has its own laundry room. A large open-hearth fireplace and an entertainment area are installed in the living room with richly fabric wall coverings inside the house. There is also a wood-beamed dining room with French doors leading to the screen-in porch. High-end features are added to the refurbished kitchen including high quality cabinetry and appliances. It has an array of appliances, too, including Subzero, Gaggenaue, Wolf and Miele appliances.
Furthermore, floor-to-ceiling windows are set up in the family room. The house also has a library with glass walls to establish a perfect view of the eight-acre grounds. The property has a pool and a pool house that gives a magnificent view of the nearby lake. There is also a relaxing Zen garden and multiple stone patios.
The barn-turned-guesthouse is the highlight of the estate; its interiors still have the original timber beams. The guesthouse has an open floor plan with Jerusalem limestone flooring and polished threshold floorboards, a spacious dining area, and sky-high ceilings and exposed infrastructure. The staircase is made from old farm tools that lead to the sleeping loft. The property also has a small gym and a caretaker's office.
Addison Wolf Real Estate wrote that the Merestone farm is one of the most "spectacular properties" presently listed in Bucks County. After the old farmhouse was painstakingly restored, it now follows a high level of aesthetic and sophistication.
