The kind of home you would think about if you ever find yourself in the chips is this traditional house located in Newtown Township at 10 Stonebridge Crossing Road.
Real sale agent Mark Gatta of Opus Elite Real Sale in Newtown stated that despite the property’s high price, there has been significant interest shown in it, especially from “local celebrities.” Unfortunately, no names. Rules against disclosure prevent him from saying.
“We would all be delighted to have you as a neighbor, and you would know the people who are looking at this house,” he remarked. “Let’s just say that the property has piqued the interest of local sports celebrities as well as non-sports celebrities.”
Many features of the three-story, 10,200-square-foot home include fireplaces, a full basement with the potential to be used as a “safe room,” custom cut stone cladding, five-zone HVAC, five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two half bathrooms (two in the master bedroom), and all of this situated on 13 acres of lush Bucks County countryside.
Almost every system in the house can be controlled remotely because the entire space is wired for remote access.
Thus, you have the option to install blinds and program them to open and close on their own. He said, “You can control everything from your phone or iPad.”
The kitchen is enormous and features two islands along with Sub-Zero and Miele appliances. You may access an unfinished attic through stairs and a basement to a second floor elevator shaft that has already been roughed in.
Furthermore, three acres have already been granted for a second house if you feel you need even more space, perhaps for a carriage house.
What are the $6 million home’s mortgage and taxes?
The amount of taxes paid in 2017 was $40,688. Consider that to be a lot.
Gatta, who also has an office in the Garden State, stated, “Your taxes would probably be double if this home were just across the river in New Jersey.”
Regarding the mortgage, you’ll need to choose whether or not to finance it. If you want to put down the customary 20 percent, you’ll need a cool $1 million. According to Gatta, some people have no trouble paying cash for a house like this.
The annual dues for the homeowner’s association are $4,000. Contractors or at least hired employees will be needed for maintenance and upkeep. To maintain things in order, the present owner employs groundskeepers.
Who built the house and how old is it?
According to Gatta, Richard Zaveta, a renowned bespoke home builder sought after by wealthy individuals wanting opulent living quarters, constructed the property in 2012. Typically, Zavetta constructs “one-off” homes, but this one is part of Creek’s Bend, a 16-home community developed by Zaveta.
Apart from well-known celebrities, the target demographic also includes non-celebrities who are local business owners or people who work in New York but are escaping the high taxes in that state and New Jersey, according to Gatta. The asking price will probably be met by the present owner.
Gatta stated, “It will sell for $6 million,” adding that he has had five to six showings per week.
