DOYLESTOWN, PA — The 2020 Bucks County Designer House and Gardens has been selected.

This year's Designer House and Gardens is Creekside, a renovated 1850s farmhouse on 17 acres along the Neshaminy Creek in Doylestown Township.

The property features the original farmhouse, which has been expanded into a three-level home redesigned to include large, open spaces while keeping the quintessential Bucks County features.

The Bucks County Designer House and Gardens is an annual home makeover event that serves as fundraiser for the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown.

"The highlight is the second-floor master suite with its gorgeous stone fireplace and an added bonus of a wraparound balcony. The second and third floors feature five more bedrooms, a small reading nook, two bathrooms — all in the original part of the home which boasts the original heart pine floors, 19th-century farmhouse doors, and wrought iron hardware," organizers said in an announcement.

Outside, the property features a party-sized deck and a 4,000-square-foot pole barn that will be home to the 2020 Designer House Boutiques and Café.

Organizers shared the following images of the property:

The series of events surrounding the home's makeover and subsequent tours begins on Sunday, Feb. 23 with an Empty House Party. Following the Empty House Party, Creekside will be made over by a team of designers.

The Empty House Party is a chance for the public to see the house before designers, landscapers and boutique owners "work their magic," organizers say.

The Opening Weekend Gala is set for Friday, April 24. Tours will continue through May 24.

Advance purchase house tour tickets are $30 through April 25 and $35 at the door from April 26 - May 24. Tickets for Seniors 62+ will be $30 at the door.

The Village Improvement Association fundraiser will benefit Doylestown Health's ONE VISION: The Campaign for Doylestown Health campaign. "These funds will support a wide range of transformative initiatives and priorities that include the capital construction projects currently underway."
