114 Cedar Glen Dr

In a prime location in Upper Makefield Township, a gated driveway entrance leads you to this impeccable home. With beginnings in 1840 but beautifully expanded, renovated and modernized over the years, this in the classic home in the idyllic community of Cedar Glen enjoys a professionally landscaped property surrounded by 8 sweeping acres of protected open space. The 4- bedroom, 3.1 bath home, crafted with natural building materials, was initially restored by the renowned builder, Ferman Lex. This distinctive home is graced by an inviting wraparound bluestone covered porch with standing seam metal roof.
