Situated on 4.5 acres in Bucks County, this structure was originally Achey's Mill, built in the 1760s; it was converted into a home in 1971. The reinforced-concrete bridge over the creek was designed by Henry Mercer. The first floor features an eat-in kitchen and open great room, a living room, and a powder room; a wraparound deck off the dining area overlooks the creek and woods. The second floor has four bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a library with large windows and built-in bookcases. On the third floor are complete living quarters: kitchen, full bath, two bedrooms (one is a loft), and an office area. There are open-beam ceilings, four stone fireplaces, hardwood floors, a finished walk-out basement, and a security system.
