Feeling festive for the Fourth? Discover a property for sale with a main house that is believed to predate the Revolutionary War. Seated on the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border, the estate called Doan Hollow is only 45 minutes away from history-rich Philadelphia where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Elegantly remodeled and completely up to date, the renovated home blending old and new is looking for $5.2 million.
Spanning 12 acres, Doan Hollow is located just around the corner from George Washington’s headquarters during the war. Revolutionary in its own way, today, the 8,800-square-foot manor with six bedrooms is a thoughtful combination of original features and modern finishes.
Original exposed stone walls have their moment in the house as well as trendier shiplap-style walls, early beam and truss detailing, and walnut and vintage pine board flooring. In terms of architecture, the L-shape does an excellent job of separating public spaces, like the living and dining rooms with vaulted ceilings, from private spaces like the luxe primary suite.
After a total indoor-outdoor renovation between 2013 and 2015, the spaces have conveniences that people in the 1700s could only have dreamed of. In the airy yet cozy kitchen, appliances from Wolf and SubZero live alongside two-tone cabinetry and quartzite countertops with charming wood beams overhead. When it’s time for a summer cookout, a loggia with an outdoor kitchen awaits for an easy flow outside. Sweetening the deal, the pool and lush landscaping certainly make this the place to be for all future Fourth of July soirées.
If you’re ready to sign your own declaration for this house, look to Linda Danese of Kurfiss Sotheby’s International Realty for the listing.
