Welcome to 18 Timber Knoll Drive, a charming Bucks County reproduction manor home nestled on almost 2 acres in historic Washington Crossing. Featuring 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths displaying notable stately architectural details throughout including intricate moldings, wainscoting, columns, coffered ceilings and true divided-light multi-pane windows. The prominent stone front exterior with dual front entry and flagstone walkway is as timeless and classic as the interior. The inviting 6,700 square foot floor plan and arched entry ways lend to endless allure around every turn of this home. Upon entry, you will find a striking centrally positioned curved staircase and a nearby intimate and spectacularly designed library with walls of impressive floor-to-ceiling custom, built-in bookshelves, anchored by a stunning gas fireplace showcasing Mercer tiles. Across the foyer, the front living room is spacious and features a useful double-sided wet bar concealed by paneled doors, a second gas fireplace, this one fashioned with a marble surround, and a seamless flow into the naturally lite formal dining space with its wall of paned windows, eye-catching tray ceiling, two corner built-ins, wainscoting, and kitchen access. The open floor plan showcases a generously sized great room that streams easily into the grand gourmet kitchen, thoughtfully outfitted with high end appliances, granite island and countertops with seating for 8 bar chairs, and the lengthened coffered ceiling solarium breakfast room, lined with expanded built-in banquette seating/underneath storage accommodating 50+ sit down guests and pleasing space for your hosting needs. Just off the kitchen, the cozy covered white railing and column accented veranda with its Southern style charm and ambience suggests a welcoming spot of shade and comfort during the warm summer months along with picturesque views of the park-like setting backyard and glimmering pond. The inviting, yet elegant great room with stone fireplace, is drenched with sunlight from the multiple arched transom highlighted windows and allows for scenic views of the private wooded backdrop, several bluestone patios and pool with built in hot tub.
