2017 Bucks County Designer House & Gardens Announced

The 2017 Bucks County Designer House & Gardens has been announced.

Hill Crest Manor on Burnt House Hill Road in Doylestown has been selected. It will be the 42nd Bucks County Designer House & Gardens — an annual home makeover event that serves as fundraiser by the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown.

"This charming Victorian farmhouse has rooms dating back to 1808. A classic representation of a historic Bucks County farmhouse, the home is complete with an original horse barn, kennel garden tool shed, five acres of gardens and five acres of fields with beautiful stone walls," according to an announcement from Visit Bucks County.

The home will be transformed by a team of professionals and then it will be open to the public for tours from April 30-May 28, 2017.

The Empty House Party is scheduled for Feb. 26 and the Preview Gala will be held on April 29.

Proceeds from the Designer House benefit Doylestown Hospital.

Here's more about the house, according to Visit Bucks County:

One of historic rooms, at the heart of the house, is now a spacious dining room with built-in, glass fronted cabinets and Mercer tiles embedded above the fireplace mantle. Guests can enjoy a full-width porch with double entrance doors and large windows and towering trees among the many outbuildings.

Visitors will also be able to browse through the ten-foot ceilings and tall, deep-set, elegant windows of the formal living room and casual parlor and shop several boutiques featuring home furnishings, clothing, accessories and handmade crafts.
