Hill Crest Manor, a gracious Victorian farmhouse with portions dating back to 1808, conjures images of yesteryear: at the heart of the home sits the original room of the house, now a spacious dining room, with “cash windows” from which field hands were once paid, and where the original hand-pulled doorbell is located. A full-width front porch welcomes guests with double entrance doors flanked by large windows. The center hallway is flanked by a formal living room and more casual parlor each with ten-foot ceilings, tall deep-set elegant windows, plaster crown moldings and pumpkin pine floors. Mercer tile accents are inlaid in brick floors in the kitchen and pantry, and over the dining room fireplace mantle. The property name is Hill Crest Manor, 3690 Burnt House Hill Road, Doylestown PS 18902. For more information, call 215-345-2191 or visit www.buckscountydesignerhouse.org.
