Nestled on a 10-acre lot in Quakertown, the enchanting residence at 1375 California Road weaves together the past and present, writes Sandy Smith for Philadelphia Magazine.  

At the heart of this historic farmhouse is a log cabin erected in 1734, which has been lovingly preserved and integrated into the home’s structure.

A two-story stone addition built in 1838 forms the central wing, and a historic log house, meticulously reassembled in 1988, flanks its side. 

The original log cabin section now houses a formal dining room, exuding rustic charm, while the central wing boasts a modern kitchen adjacent to the breakfast room.  

The 1988 log-house addition is crowned by a contemporary wood spiral staircase leading to a primary suite, complete with a luxurious spa bath. 

The property’s exterior is equally impressive, featuring a deck that offers panoramic views of the surrounding woodland.  

The expansive grounds include a two-stall horse barn, a versatile large building suitable for storage or as a workshop, and an 18th-century bakehouse, adding to the property’s historical allure.
