Pear Tree Farm offers history, a prime location, charm, and serenity. Nestled in 4.5 acres on Furlong Road near Doylestown, this 1845 stucco over stone farmhouse is adjacent to an exceptional three-bay English threshing barn with carriage house, stone walled barnyard, and boxwood-lined garden rooms with magnificent 50' trees. A published history of the farm is in the collecton of the Mercer and Michener Museums. The home has been updated while maintaining its quintessenal character that includes original pumpkin pine and chestnut flooring, pie stairs, bluestone patos and paths, and within a custom kitchen a grand summer kitchen fireplace with wood burning stove. From a bank of 1950's industrial kitchen windows, you look out to a steel trellis of wisteria and trumpet vine offering light in the winter and shade in the summer. Everywhere you look in this house, you will find evidence of its 180-year-old history-historic door latches and knobs, bark covered log basement supports, garret, stone-lined cistern with pump, and original glass in its multi- paned windows. A fenced kitchen garden and original Sylvan pool compliment the grounds. There is great beauty on the property, and the wildlife is abundant. Awake to a chorus of birds welcoming the morning light, while owls deep in the woods summon the darkness. Opportunities abound-whether it is renovating the barn complex, expanding the farmhouse, or building a new home in the back of this picturesque, wooded property.
