Property Description
Inside, authentic period details abound, from exposed beams and heart pine floors to walk-in fireplaces, an elegant staircase, and custom woodwork. The spacious, sun-filled kitchen features artisan-crafted cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a GE Café double oven, and gracious farmhouse sink. It flows seamlessly into a formal dining room and an impressive two-story great room. The Great Room features the home's original exterior stone wall and impressive window walls with a full-length window seat. French doors lead out to a herringbone patterned brick patio.
The cozy tavern room with a walk-in fireplace is perfect for chilly evenings, while the living room's raised-panel mantel, beamed ceiling, and original double-hung windows add warmth and charm. Upstairs, the serene primary suite offers a fireplace, ensuite bath, and lovely garden views. Additional bedrooms include a flexible-use library with built-ins and a unique overlook into the great room.
Outside, the home is surrounded by mature gardens, heirloom plantings, and historic outbuildings, including a gazebo, springhouse/root cellar, writer's cottage, and a 2-bay garage. The four-zone heating and two-zone AC systems provide comfort year-round.
While Hillside Farm is a tranquil retreat, it also holds a remarkable place in American history. Built around 1806 by James Henry Slack, a Revolutionary War veteran and early abolitionist, it later became the birthplace of Civil War General James Richard Slack and home to railroad historian Edward P. Alexander. The property has received a Preservation Award and has hosted numerous community events and garden tours. The property is not subject to conservation.
Centrally located near Newtown, New Hope, and Princeton, the location provides easy access to Philadelphia, New York, and regional rail. Hillside Farm offers a rare opportunity to own a legacy home where history and gracious living beautifully meet.
