Generally speaking, when one writes a description of a Bucks County house for sale that contains the phrase “New Hope pleasure palace,” the phrase “converted barn” also appears somewhere in it. And if it doesn’t, you will probably find a phrase like “restored 1750 farmhouse” or “once served as George Washington’s [insert function here].”

None of these terms apply to this custom-built provincial pleasure palace on 13 lushly landscaped acres in Lumberville, just upriver from New Hope. This duo of spacious manse and comfortable guest house dates to 1994, but it looks like it’s been here a while thanks to the attention to classic detail you’ll find inside and out.

Living room

While there may be no converted barn on this property, you will find repurposed barn beams in the two-story-high living room, where a stone fireplace with a wood stove serves as the dramatic focal point.

Kitchen

That fireplace shares its chimney with the one in the kitchen. That room also boasts high-end appliances, two islands, custom cabinetry with china cabinets over the sink and a smooth-top cooktop.

Master bedroom

The spiral staircase in the kitchen leads to the master suite. In addition to classic style, it contains another spiral staircase that leads to a turret that affords you a 360-degree view of your property. That same spiral staircase leads down to a finished walkout basement that includes a billiards room, sauna, two bedrooms, workshop and storage space.

The outside of this house for sale is as impressive as its inside. Thoughtful landscaping and inviting features that go beyond the spectacular pool and terrace invite relaxation and make great entertaining spaces to boot.
