When king charles ii of england settled his debt to william penn, he granted him 40,000 square miles of prime land that has now become a major part of bucks county, pa. A small portion of this historic grant was later purchased by isaac frankenfield in 1850, and he built for his heirs, a handsome stone and stucco hall-parlor style farmhouse. The structure has gone through many architectural changes over the centuries and the current owner, an architect, has preserved and respected the historic bloodlines and improved additions that were added, creating an open and light filed interior that conveys a modern sensibility. The original hall is now a formal dining room, with the original fireplace and mantel and the butterfly staircase that is a vignette of authenticity. The parlor is now a multi-functional room that serves as an tv room, office, and extra bedroom. Both rooms have radius cornered and deep sill windows. Both kitchen and living room have walls of glass that look onto a redesigned screened porch which overlooks the in-ground pool enclosed by fieldstone walls. Professionally landscaped, including up-lighted trees and shrubs, the pool area and porch are a go to spot for summertime entertaining. A wood burning fireplace in the living room is the favorite nucleus for wintertime gatherings. Hardwood flooring moves throughout the home, including the wide plank, pumpkin pine floors in the original second floor bedrooms and a finished attic area that can be used as an office, exercise room or playroom and features exposed stone walls. Usually, in historical homes, the bedroom space can be limited. This is not the case with frankenfield house. A conventional stairway from the living room lead to three guest bedrooms ,a "jack and jill" bathroom and the master bedroom suite that boasts a cathedral ceiling, walk-in closet and a light filled master bath with skylight. The suite over looks the lower portion of the property, a stream and a dry pond. Located just 5 minutes from doylestown, with its museums, restaurants, excellent medical facilities, public transport.
