Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from March 27, 2024
HISTORIC CHARM MEETS MODERN DESIGN! Say hello to 106 Penn St located in historic Newtown Borough Pennsylvania! This residence, which was originally a barn (circa 1778) and converted into a dwelling in 1853, has been completely modernized with the flow and function of a historic structure. In 1978, the home had undergone a complete rebuild that included stripping to its joists and restoring it from the foundation up. FUN FACT…A notice of the election of Franklin Pierce from 1853 was found in the walls during demolition. This most recent updating took place in 2019 – 2020 by the current owners. This included complete renovation of the first and second floors with approval from the Newtown Borough Historic Architectural Review Board. All work was done by local artisans and builders. Highlights of this most recent renovation included connecting the main home with the carriage house and adding full bath, laundry room and new staircase to this space. A stair tower was designed and built connecting all three floors of the home. A key aspect of this addition was to bring in an abundance of natural light and create a dramatic and beautiful element to the home. Another addition included the dining room, expansion of the main bedroom suite to include vaulted ceiling, installing all new bathrooms (3.5 in total), added a slate patio to the back of the home and a front patio/courtyard to the front of the home. One of the main goals of the project was to open-up the first floor plan and create “gathering style” kitchen with an open living area. This goal has been achieved!! The kitchen features custom designed cabinetry and wood work including crafted Water Street pulls & knobs, Calcutta Gold marble countertops sealed with granite shield with warranty, integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator, La Cornu CornuFe 110 Range, custom wood beams, Shaw farmhouse sink with crafted Waterstone Living faucet & accessories, and capped off with gorgeous French Oak flooring. This all opens to a wonderful great room complete w/ a Valor high end gas fireplace with custom gypsum plaster surround created by local artisans at Bucks County Art of Plaster, and French oak flooring. The second level is home to the main bedroom suite that has been expanded and includes a raised ceiling with shiplap wood, automatic remote window shades, French oak floors, Zen style main bathroom w/ Toto Washlet heated commode & bidet, Quartz concrete sink, Victoria and Albert Limestone composite soaking tub and pebble heated radiant floors. A 2nd BR is located on this floor as well with En suite bath. The stair tower (which includes all automatic window shades & Hanglin liquid pendants) continues to the third level where a 3rd BR is located w/ half bath. Back on the main level is the interior connection to the carriage house. There is a new side entry door that was added and a laundry/mud room acts as the passage to the renovated carriage house. The carriage home has a functional first floor that is currently used as a TV/home office area and upstairs is light drenched with vaulted ceilings, wet bar and access to an outside deck that connects to the main bedroom too. This second floor of the carriage house is ideal for a 4th bedroom or enjoy it as an additional entertainment area. The exterior has been preserved and offers a front courtyard with covered seating area, 3 Campania Echo fountains with lighting, brick patio base & TV inside barn doors for outdoor viewing. The rear yard/patio is very private and features a blue stone patio, custom brick wall, beautiful specimen trees and 2022 Hotsprings hot tub Limelight collection, w/ fresh saltwater system. A few other items to mention include sound system on main flr, main BR suite and carriage house, Emtek hardware t/o the home and Aria vents & returns. Architect Joel Petty designed this dream home for the current owners and Nancy Gracia of BareRoot Design Studio, provided her exceptional talent & eye to bring the new space to life.
