Set on 4.42 private acres in the heart of Solebury, Stonecroft is a storied Bucks County estate with origins dating back to an early Penn grant. Originally constructed by the Ely family in the late eighteenth century as a stone bank barn, Stonecroft was then converted to the studio of noted New Hope Impressionist Stanley Reckless, and, most recently, thoughtfully transformed into a one-of-a-kind private residence. Stonecroft is currently owned by the producing director of Bucks County Playhouse, where countless stage luminaries were house guests. nA long, private drive lined with mature hydrangeas leads to a setting defined by rolling lawns, specimen trees, and complete privacy.
