Early in Act 1 of the musical Fiddler on the Roof, poor dairyman Tevye sings “If I Were a Rich Man,” dreaming of a life of means and luxury. In the tune, he describes his ideal property: “There would be one long staircase just going up; And one even longer coming down… .”

With a residential wish list like that, 15 Chelsea Circle, Richboro, would be just his thing.

This 1988-built custom home (and its numerous staircases) is eye-popping right from the entrance.

Golde, Tevye’s spirited wife, would understandably find this kitchen to die for.

The library-office? A dream spot for Tevye, who also sang about his desire to “discuss the holy books … seven hours every day.”

Not sure what a simple dairyman would do with a pool table, but this home’s got one. And speaking of pool, the backyard holds the swimming variety, connected to the master bedroom by a catwalk.

15 Chelsea Circle, Richboro, lists for $1,500,000, a lot in milk sales for a poor dairyman but a wise acquisition to someone whose budget it fits.
