About 5979 Lower York Rd

Welcome to the iconic Lahaska Farm c.a. 1850. This fieldstone farm house and its Currier & Ives carriage house are now available as a residence with home occupation, retail space and many other approved uses. Ideally located a stone's throw from Peddler's Village, the property offers high visibility. Both buildings have been totally renovated and remodeled to achieve the perfect combination of modern comfort and Bucks County charm. Enter the graceful crushed stone courtyard with circular driveway and face the majestic stone ruins of a period barn. Find the carriage house to your left, the farm house to your right and around back a large electrified storage / workshop barn. Enter the main house through the spacious welcoming foyer. To your right, find a spectacular family room surrounded by 2 walls of glass, exposed stone walls and tile floors. Beyond, you enter the dramatic and functional gourmet kitchen with marble fireplace, center island, brand new Italian Bertazzoni stainless steel appliances and granite countertop. Just adjacent, find the formal dining room and living room with another stately fireplace and ornate copper door that leads to an expansive fieldstone courtyard / patio perfect for entertaining spring through fall. Finishing the first floor is a half bath, bedroom / office and full bath. In addition to the main staircase, an elegant spiral staircase leads to the primary suite from the rear of the kitchen (perfect for midnight snacks). The suite features original hand-hewn beams, wide plank pine floors, walk-in closet and primary bathroom. This level is complete with 2 additional spacious bedrooms and another full bathroom. The third floor serves perfectly as a 5th bedroom, gym, large office or offers ample storage. The full basement is ready to be finished or used for plenty of additional storage. The carriage house (currently an antique furnishings shop) is conditioned and electrified (currently no plumbing) for use year round and has breathtakingly high vaulted ceilings, French carved wood entry doors and beam in the upper loft, gorgeous cathedral like glass windows that bathe the space in light and a beautiful marble wood-burning fireplace. With over 2 bucolic acres there's plenty of space to add a pool, garage or simply enjoy the open space. Blue ribbon New Hope - Solebury Schools and easy access to Doylestown, downtown New Hope and NJ/NY make the location super desirable.
