"Sweetbriar Barn" This custom designed Bucks County barn comes with a slice of heaven'. Tucked in the hills of beautiful Bedminster, It's a short walk to the Lake and Nockamixon State Park. Stone retaining walls, lush planting and a large pond bordered by woods, enhance the stunning 3 acre setting of this unique home. Several additions and many upgrades over the last 50 years have enhanced the design of the original. The dramatic core of the house is a sunken two-story great room with a floor to ceiling fireplace highlighted by an interior rounded chimney with antique hand-cast brick. Framing a double set of sliding doors overlooking the pond is the second story library balcony, accessed by a curving wrought-iron staircase from the adjacent open dining room. Designed for a grand piano, the first- floor music room and a second-floor gallery with a sitting room overlook the great room. But the heart of the house is the kitchen/gathering room. A vaulted ceiling with a rear window wall highlights a spacious workspace with two separate sinks and an oversized granite center island with built-in desk area, ideal for informal buffet gatherings. Appliances, built into custom Amish cabinetry and antique brick, include Sub Zero refrigerator, solid surface Dcor range and conventional/convection wall oven with separate microwave oven.

A functioning coal stove with an antique brick surround adds ambiance and supplemental heat in winter.
