928 TAYLORSVILLE ROAD, WASHINGTON CROSSING, PA 18977

Discover one of the most extraordinary and historic properties in all of Bucks County—the Matthias Harvye House. This remarkable estate, set on 3 enchanting acres between the Delaware River and the Canal in Washington Crossing, offers the chance to own a piece of history. As you cross the charming red bridge over the canal, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. According to historical accounts, General Washington and his troops camped on these very grounds before their pivotal march to Trenton. The main house, originally built in 1709, has been meticulously updated with modern amenities while preserving its historical charm. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, this home is filled with period hardware, pumpkin pine floors, pie staircases, deep sill windows and 2 fireplaces but the estate offers so much more. Modern amenities here include heated floors, walk in cedar closets, and updated lighting. Also on the property is a fully restored barn, dating back to c.1840 and relocated from Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 4 full baths, a gourmet kitchen with high-end stainless-steel appliances, soapstone countertops and cabinetry crafted from reclaimed barn wood, no detail has been overlooked. Expansive high ceilings and walls of windows fill the barn with an airy brightness. Wide planked floors span the entire barn, and the primary living space is anchored by two stunning turned staircases lined with cable rails leading to the upper level. A standout feature is the Moravian tile mosaics and accents throughout. Beyond the barn, visible through French doors, lies a rectangular pool bordered by lush landscaping and paver patios. Outdoor entertaining is a dream here in a covered summer barn area made with the original barn’s stone walls, with a stunning stone fireplace, and a serene patio area. The original springhouse which offers heat and cooling has been converted into an art studio and provides endless possibilities. Additional amenities are a 3-car detached garage with epoxy floors and built-in storage, pond filled with frogs and fish, home generator, direct access to the canal’s towpath, and close proximity to historic Washington Crossing State Park, the Delaware River for boating and fishing, and Newtown, New Hope and Yardley for dining and shopping. The grounds themselves are an exquisite showcase of landscaping, walkways lined with vibrant flowers and picturesque surroundings completing the estate’s charm. From the historical significance to the modern-day comforts, the Matthias Harvye estate offers a truly unique lifestyle.
