Description

More than 800ft down a tree lined country drive way, flanked by open fields and dotted with freshly harvested hay bales the exciting glimpse of Silver Buttons Farm begins to emerge. This quiet and sophisticated compound is reminiscent of the estates in Greenwich and Darrien, Connecticut. As you pass through the gates, you enter a formal auto-court with a panoramic view of the stately and quintessential Bucks County farmhouse, 18th century bank barn with a separate art studio with north-facing window over the two car garage with guest suite. The initial portion of the main dwelling was built in the late 1700s and has evolved into the present 5700 sq/ft home. All of the rooms on the main floor have 9ft ceilings and on the 2nd floor rise to 14ft in the primary suite. The modern kitchen has a Garland stove and corresponding high end stainless appliances . The kitchen is eat-in, with adjacent formal dining room. The highlight of the first floor is a 1000 sq/ft solarium with three walls of windows that look out at the pool, pool house and fields. The home has been meticulously maintained while preserving the age-old patina on the floorboards. The main floor millwork dates back to 1810. The bedrooms on the 2nd floor range from 1000sq/ft to down to the smallest of the original 18th century home. There are 3 full baths on the 2nd floor and a powder room off the foyer on the main floor. Just 50ft away is the former carriage barn, which has been transformed to a modern office with bathroom and a separate guest suite above with full bath. The fully reimagined and beautifully lit, party barn with heated dining area just across the motor court has a commercial size kitchen, full service wet bar and three bathrooms. Follow the sweeping staircase to the 2nd floor with additional bar adjacent to the dance floor. The home is surrounded by a lush and serene landscape with fieldstone walls and impressive gardens. To the rear of the property is a rectangular lily pond. At one end of the pool is a Williamsburg-inspired pool house with French doors and slate roof. At the other is a large pergola with mature wisteria. Silver Buttons Farm is the estate that you are looking for.
