Within the esteemed landscape of Upper Makefield, 1789 Wrightstown Road presents a rare offering of enduring beauty, provenance, and distinction. Dating to 1752 and proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Grand Manor holds true historical importance—having once served as a medical hospital for George Washington’s troops during the Revolutionary War. Set on 6.3 exquisitely private acres, the property is composed of a restored stone manor house, a refined two-bedroom carriage house offering over 1,800 square feet of living space, and an extraordinary bank barn thoughtfully transformed into a pool house. The bank barn’s upper level features changing rooms, a full bath, a utility room, and a dramatic two-story family space designed for effortless gatherings, celebrations, and everyday enjoyment. The lower level accommodates an oversized two-car garage, with generous storage and a workshop to support both practical needs and refined living. A naturally formed swimming pool and tennis/sports court create an exceptional resort-like setting, seamlessly integrated into the surrounding landscape. Mature specimen trees, flourishing gardens, and a sweeping meadow frame the residences with an air of timeless grandeur and pastoral elegance—offering privacy, beauty, and a sense of permanence that is difficult to replicate. Ideally suited for multigenerational living, this estate reflects the highest standard of stewardship and a rare sense of legacy. Whether you envision extended family life, visiting guests, or a distinctive retreat designed for hosting, the property’s thoughtful configuration provides comfort, flexibility, and character throughout. Positioned just moments from Washington Crossing State Park, the canal towpath, and the historic crossing site, the home also enjoys convenient proximity to New Hope, Philadelphia, Princeton, and New York City. 1789 Wrightstown Road is not merely a residence, but a landmark estate where history, luxury, and significance converge—inviting you to experience an exceptional chapter of American heritage in refined, living form. ****The bedroom count reflects 4 bedrooms in the Stone Manor home and 2 bedrooms in the carriage home, The bathrooms reflect 4 full in manor, 2 full n carriage, 1 full in Bank barn, 1 half in Manor, 1 half in carriage .
