Residential Land with Home for Sale in Newtown, Pennsylvania

Welcome to Eight Bells. An unparalleled blend of history, charm, and modern luxury. This extraordinary property, dating back to 1710, features a meticulously restored barn and the original farmhouse, both standing as testaments to over 300 years of rich heritage and architectural evolution. Originally part of the expansive Woodhill Farm, Eight Bells was known as the "hay mow," a three-story structure once filled to the rafters with hay harvested from its grounds. The historical wagon trail, still visible today, connected the barn to the farmhouse. The approach is magical, with lavender stone stairs beckoning you towards the entrance. As you step inside, you're greeted by soaring ceilings and original magnificent beams that exude grandeur and create a remarkable sense of spaciousness. Every corner of this home emanates warmth and elegance, thanks to its exquisite textures, luxurious materials, and radiant heated floors that span throughout the entire residence. The gourmet kitchen is a haven for aspiring chefs, inviting them to unleash their culinary creativity. At the heart of this converted barn stands a magnificent cement Rumsford fireplace, an architectural masterpiece that serves as a testament to the visionary design of the current owners. Its presence anchors the great room, radiating warmth and ambiance, setting the stage for countless memories to be made. Meticulously renovated, this barn boasts a cozy primary suite on the lower level, complete with a sumptuous marble bathroom adorned with mother of pearl mosaic floors and glass tile shower walls. The exposed stone and radiant heated floors ensure your comfort and luxury year-round. A custom dressing room with beautifully lit cabinetry and German mixed metal pulls adds an extra touch of opulence. On the second floor, two guest suites await, featuring a newly added full bathroom with a Lefroy Brooks pedestal sink and exquisite Carrara & Calacatta herringbone marble walls and floors. As you ascend to the third floor, endless possibilities unfold. This versatile space can serve as a home office, a cozy guest bedroom, or any other space tailored to your needs. Nestled within the barn, a hidden gem awaits--a completely private guest apartment designed to elevate your stay to new heights. Accessible from inside the barn or through its own private entrance with an elevator, this luxurious retreat offers convenience and seclusion. With a spacious bedroom, a full bathroom featuring marble mosaic floors and shower walls with vintage Kohler fixtures, a living room with a gas fireplace, JennAir appliances, and a balcony overlooking the gardens, it's a sanctuary of pure indulgence. The splendor of this estate extends beyond the barn itself, as the grounds are truly magnificent.
