Considering Buying a Farmhouse?

Here's what you need to know...

When purchasing a Farmhouse, your agents knowledge of the local Farmhouse Market is just as important as when you are looking to sell one.

• I run a comparative market analysis on any home you are considering purchasing to help you determine an offer price.
• Are there conservation, easement, or deed issues you should be aware of that can affect the value of the home?
• I can provide you with a list of home inspectors that specialize in older homes.
• Septic & well inspectors are also very important for older homes.

Purchasing a home is a large investment. Sometimes, Farmhouses will require some renovation. It is important to be level headed and realistic about the amount of work a Farmhouse may truly need.

• Most Farmhouses are located close to busier roads. These were the main roads that enabled the transportation of goods between northern areas, like Bethlehem, down to Philadelphia. Be prepared for this, or be prepared to pay more for the ones situated down long drives in quiet areas.
• Layouts are not as ‘open’ as the homes of today, although renovations can correct this.
• Main Bedrooms with there own full Bath were not common.
• Closet space was much smaller. People didn’t have as many ‘things’ as we do today. They also used wardrobes.
• Basements can be a little interesting. Dirt floors and low ceiling height was common.
• Sloping floors are common. That doesn’t mean the house is falling down.

You have options to remedy these items. You can buy a Farmhouse that has already been renovated to include today’s modern conveniences, or you can renovate them yourself to ensure you get exactly what you want.

Why go to all this effort, you might ask? It’s because of the vernacular architecture that simply isn’t cost effective to build into the homes of today.

• Bucks County Fieldstone Exteriors
• Interior Stone Walls
• Walk-in Fireplaces
• Wide-Planked Wood Floors
• Deep Sills
• Pegged & Scribed Beams
• Pie Staircases
• Pent Roofs, Cornice Details, & so much more.

Every one of these homes has a unique story. The materials, design elements, and architecture of the homes speak to the history and home building practices from hundreds of years ago. It’s truly priceless character.
