Turn down the stately gated drive and find yourself at home amongst tall trees and mature landscaping in Upper Bucks County. Situated on 24 idyllic acres, Turtle Pond is an escape from the hectic pace of everyday life, perfect for a full time residence or as a weekend retreat. Built circa 1850, the stone home has undergone additions and renovations in the intervening years, yet still maintains the charm of a rural farmhouse. The entry vestibule with slate floor opens to random width pine floors, exposed stone walls, and log-and-mortar walls in the foyer and dining room. Nearby, the oversized kitchen and breakfast area are bright and sunny, with large windows and doors leading out to the stone patio. A cozy living room with a wood stove, along with a full bath with laundry complete this level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own en suite, while two additional bedrooms share a hall bath. A library and den are on this floor as well, along with access to the unfinished third floor.The view from every window is serene, overlooking lush meadows, old-growth trees, and a large pond covering nearly an acre that is home to frogs, fish, and turtles and even includes its own island. A 2-car attached garage and separate barn with garage space offers lots of room for storage or projects. Located in the Quakertown school district, and just a short drive from shopping, dining and commuter routes, Turtle Pond is proudly offered for $659,000.
