Upper Makefield Township, Pa. | $2.975 MillionAn expanded and updated 1840s farmhouse with four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, on a 4.49-acre lot with a barn and swimming poolThis late Federal house is in a luxury subdivision in Upper Makefield Township, a historic community in Bucks County in which 40 percent of the picturesque land is preserved. All of the systems were upgraded, and an interior designer made substantial additional contributions to “lighten” the home, the listing agent said. The property is about 30 miles northeast of Philadelphia, 70 miles southwest of New York City and three miles west of Washington Crossing, where George Washington traversed the Delaware River on his way to winning the Battle of Trenton. The kitchen has vintage floorboards, a stone fireplace wall, traditional-style cabinetry with granite countertops, and contemporary lighting. A lineup of French doors along a rear wall opens to a covered flagstone patio looking out to the pool, and there is a breakfast banquette in a corner.
