Property Description
Proudly introducing Running Springs Farm, a legacy property offering total privacy, timeless sophistication and endless views across 7.5 lush acres. Situated in the prestigious Jericho Valley area of Upper Makefield Township lies this historic homestead. Established in 1740, this classic Bucks County property seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury and is now available for the first time in over 50 years. As you arrive, a grand circular driveway welcomes you, leading you to a breathtaking property that whispers of timeless sophistication. The home’s custom kitchen, comprised of tasteful built-ins, exposed beams, top-of-the-line appliances and custom cabinetry, provides charming views of the outdoor patio, spring house and in-ground pool. Host dinners and entertain in the formal dining room which opens to the lovely screened-in porch and outside terrace where you can enjoy all four seasons of Bucks County landscape. Meander from the formal dining room and enter a cozy keeping room (the original kitchen) with an oversized wood burning fireplace. Beyond this, there is a large playroom/storage area. The first floor is completed with a laundry room featuring tons of storage, a sink, a bar area, and a powder room. Climb the stairs or enter the second floor through the original entrance way. Here you will find an elegant living room with fireplace. This floor also consists of a private & stoic library/office with a fireplace, and 2 lovely bedrooms, each with their own character and charm. A full bath completes the second floor. Finally, as you reach the third level you will find the third bedroom and powder room along with the master bedroom which has beautiful bleeding pine hardwood flooring and an oversized elegant bathroom. This unique property is a must-see, and it offers rich history as well. Stories intertwine with legends, such as alleged encounters between one of the homestead’s former owner and Marilyn Monroe within its walls, lending an air of mystique to its past. As you tour the grounds you will find an original large Bucks County Bank barn with stables and a hay loft. The barn leads to two large pastures which could accommodate your horses and farm animals. You can safely store your cars in the detached two car garage. Today, this exceptional estate stands as a testament to timeless elegance, with sensational allure and bountiful surroundings. Located on a picturesque road across from a large preserved farm, less than 10 minutes from New Hope, within the esteemed Council Rock School District, Running Springs Farm provides easy access to premier shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations. Its proximity to major commuter routes ensure convenient access to major hubs such as Philadelphia, Princeton, and New York. This is a true, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a rich piece of Bucks County history on a quintessential country road. (Seller is a licensed agent.)
