209 N BELLEVUE AVENUE

LANGHORNE, PA 19047

Welcome to a stately 1780 legacy estate that seamlessly marries the prestige of a former Quaker meeting house with a quarter-million dollars in comprehensive modernization. Situated on a rare 1.22-acre lot in the heart of historic Langhorne Borough, this residence is set back over 200 feet from the street, offering a commanding presence and a level of privacy virtually unmatched in the area. The expansive front lawn is protected by a conservation easement, guaranteeing that your sweeping views and lush greenery buffer remain undisturbed in perpetuity. A grand circular carriage drive leads to an inviting front brick patio and masonry sitting wall, where a massive 8-foot-tall custom wood door opens into an interior defined by soaring 10-foot beamed ceilings and recently refinished Brazilian cherry floors. The architectural integrity is preserved in its 18-inch thick masonry walls and deep-sill windows, yet the living experience is thoroughly modern. The home features a grand Reception Hall with a floor-to-ceiling artisan reading nook, fireplace, and library, which connects via 8-foot converging pocket doors to a formal Parlor. When opened, these spaces transform into a magnificent Grand Double Parlor, offering a uniquely flexible floor plan for large-scale entertaining or secluded relaxation. The chef’s kitchen serves as the heart of the home, boasting coffered ceilings, granite counters, a signature copper main sink complemented by a secondary prep sink, and intricate custom cabinetry. This landmark property stands as a testament to continuous stewardship, with approximately $259,000 in documented capital investments. The mechanical and structural core was transformed by an extensive overhaul including a whole-house PEX-plumbed hydronic (Modern Radiator) heating system, structural reinforcements, and premium insulation. This foundation is complemented by a recent surge of upgrades: high-velocity central air (2023), a newly added designer first-floor powder room (2026), and a stunning second-floor bath renovation (2026) featuring a custom walk-in tile shower with glass doors. An additional second-floor bathroom offers the year-round comfort of existing radiant heated floors. Peace of mind is anchored by a $19,000 comprehensive professional basement waterproofing system (2025). Exterior maintenance is simplified by a new roof and gutter guard system on the detached garage, along with a newly installed leaf-protection system on the main residence. The estate offers 7 versatile bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, including a second-floor laundry for modern convenience. Outside, the grounds are a sanctuary featuring a walled brick paver patio, a covered porch with a ceiling fan, and a secluded "Secret Garden." The detached 2-car garage has been transformed into a high-function hobbyist’s studio, fully electrified and featuring dual custom-built, lacquer-finished wooden workbenches. While this estate enjoys the historical pedigree of the Borough, it is not a registered historic property, granting the next steward full freedom to customize. Experience the perfect blend of 18th-century soul and 2026 luxury in this one-of-a-kind Bucks County landmark. A comprehensive Property Dossier detailing the $259,000 in modernizations, school district highlights, and local amenities is available for review in the home and via the MLS documents section.
