About 936 Big Oak Rd
Welcome to this charm-filled circa-1858 farmhouse, once home to a Moravian church, where historic character blends beautifully with thoughtful modern updates. From the moment you step inside, you’ll appreciate the warmth and unique history that define this special property.
The quaint foyer welcomes you into a large, light-filled combination living and dining room, enhanced by a charming bump-out breakfast nook that’s perfect for morning coffee. The adjacent kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom pull-out cabinetry designed for easy organization and everyday convenience.
Toward the rear of the home, a sun-drenched family room offers the perfect place to relax while enjoying serene views of the expansive backyard—often visited by deer and bordered by woods on two sides for added privacy. This space also includes a tiled entry area and a spacious powder room.
Upstairs, the second floor offers two bedrooms plus a generous primary suite complete with a sitting room, creating a comfortable retreat at the end of the day. A full bath and convenient second-floor laundry complete this level. Throughout the home you’ll find beautiful pine wood floors, with luxurious wool carpeting in the primary bedroom.
A standout feature of the property is the custom 3-bay, two-story garage, built in 2018 at a cost of $115,000. Two bays serve as garage parking, while the third is a dedicated workshop with custom outward-opening doors. The second floor includes an enclosed studio or office along with a large finished area ideal for storage, hobbies, or flexible workspace. The garage also includes a dust collection system for serious hobbyists or craftspeople.
The grounds are equally impressive, with extensive landscaping, hand-laid stone walls, and a stone walkway crafted from rock salvaged from the original barn foundation that once stood on the property. A backyard shed provides additional storage, and a custom-built chicken coop, designed to complement the home, includes a charming built-in birdhouse with year-round feathered residents. If chickens aren’t your style, the covered run easily converts into a protected vegetable garden.
Be sure to look up and admire the stained-glass rooster set in the peak of the roof, a one-of-a-kind piece created by a Bucks County artisan. Relax on the inviting front porch or gaze out the front windows to enjoy the peaceful pastoral views of the preserved farm across the street, where horses, sheep, and goats graze. As a Conservancy property, the farmland will remain protected from future development.
Additional highlights include public water, newer sewer hookup, a newer roof, coordinated tin roofs on the home and garage, pull-down attic storage, invisible fencing, custom Bilco doors, and a basement sump pump drainage system.
All of this in a highly convenient location near Yardley’s charming downtown, parks, shopping, and major commuter routes, offering the perfect blend of country tranquility and everyday accessibility.
