Johnsgate: Bucks County Historic Property
Solebury, PA, 18963 US / PA
Location Description
JOHNSGATE IS a Bucks County historic property !! Starting with humble beginnings as a lovely C.1830 Bucks County Barn, the original barn remains and has been magically transformed & expanded over the years into a 3 bedroom 3 full bath (4 fireplaces!)stunning residence along with an impressive 1968 modern addition. Johnsgate is tucked away on a lovely country road among many farms, horses, historic barns & historic homes. Bucks County resident and Broadway Set Designer John Root purchased this property and was inspired to design the multi room addition. Root used his talented hand & great sense of style to create a stunning modern expansion of the original barn. The 32'x17' great room includes a wall of glass doors with transom windows above which are similar to the glass doors & windows in a set Root designed for the Pasadena Playhouse in California. In addition to the expanded stone barn main house, Johnsgate has a separate 2 level cottage/pool house (1 bedroom/1 bath/kitchenette/studio space). The cottage's 20'x10' deck faces the gorgeous concrete pool which is nestled into the landscape. This charming cottage is currently used as an artist's studio.
