654 HARRISBURG SCHOOL RD Quakertown, PA 18951

Off the beaten path, this 3 BR stone farmhouse encourages you to relax and leave the bustle of the world behind. Surrounded by nature, you are a stone's throw away from the ten mile-long Lake Nockamixon. Bring your kayak and fishing rods, or hike on the many trails in the park. Built around 1860, restored in 1974 with an addition in 2003, this farmhouse retains its original exposed beams, wide-plank flooring, curved plaster deep window-sills. You have two staircases—one of them straight. From the kitchen, step through the original exterior doors to a comfortable family room with built-ins and fireplace; or if you prefer, a second fireplace in the living room faces the dining room through a glass door. Finished attic, which has two built-in dressers, can be used as a bedroom. An antique reproduction wood stove warms the dining room, which steps out onto a screened porch. The in-ground pool enhances the staycation ambiance. A large stone bank barn features prominently, and serves as a 3-car garage; the second floor retains its original numbered timbers and has outside access for equipment. Follow your trail through the woods, leading you to a hidden pond, covered with water lilies. You may be surprised to learn at 46% of Haycock's acreage is preserved, including huge parks and recreational lakes. Professional photos to come.
