2519 ASH MILL ROAD

DOYLESTOWN, PA 18902

Historic, solidly built log and stone house with slate roofs has many original details that confirm its provenance to 1760. It’s not a move-in ready house but its potential, after extensive renovations, will create an exceptional and distinctive home. Seldom do you find a property of this vintage that is in the shape this one is in with usable wide plank flooring, massive doors, and iron hardware contributing to its ambiance. Four fireplaces on the main floor, one of which is in the original log cabin room and is a walk-in fireplace with a beehive oven rarely seen intact. Take a moment to look at the log construction and the beams built 286 years ago! A large living room with a wonderful staircase to upstairs and a separate dining room each have a fireplace and doors to outside patios. In the dining room are massive doors that when open reveal where the kitchen was. It too has a fireplace! From the driveway there is an entry room that was once the kitchen but now could be used as a mudroom, laundry area, and closet area. A half bathroom is next to it. The second floor can be remodeled to suit your needs and offers a full bathroom and two or three bedrooms. One incorporates the area above the original log room with a back staircase. Another graceful staircase brings you to the third floor that could become a bedroom or multi-purpose room. The almost one acre property, the rear part of which is fenced, also focuses on outdoor living. Many doors, some Dutch style, take you to a wide brick area across the front of the house and to a covered sitting area. In the rear is a large paver patio, a built-in stone grill, a huge concrete swimming pool and a two story circular stone tower with the well and a wooden water storage tank above. There are no appliances in kitchen in the house now, but the discerning buyer that transforms this property into a showplace of old world charm and modern amenities will own and live in a very special home. Now a diamond in the rough. The separate barn/garage offers another solid building of opportunity with 3 garages, 2 rooms on the second level and one (18'x18') filled with natural light from a huge skylight and windows overlooking the preserved farm across the road. What a view! The other is 25'by30' for storage. Here are two well-constructed stone and frame buildings on almost one acre of land ready for renovating.. Come fall in love with what is there, what it offers, and what it could become. If you have vision, a love of preserving antiquity and history, and want to design a home and lifestyle that suits your dreams and needs, this property is a must-see. Near Doylestown, Peddler’s Village, New Hope, and their incredible restaurants, shops and stores, entertainment venues, parks and access to commuting routes to Philadelphia and New York, the location is a wonderful one. Come take a look and fall in love.
