About This Home
As of December 2021Welcome to 118 S. Franklin Street in one of the most sought-after locations in Doylestown Borough. Get ready to fall in love with this 3 bedroom, 2 full bath Victorian home offering old world charm with today’s modern updates. From the moment you drive up, you’ll notice the wrap around porch, desirable corner lot and a fenced in backyard, all ideal for enjoying the outdoors. The exterior was recently stain painted for durability & appearance. Enter the home into the original living room with a decorative fireplace with brick surround, built-in cabinetry, and windows are plentiful to enjoy all the natural lighting. Let’s continue into the hearth of the home…the kitchen. Newly renovated, with white cabinetry, large center island, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, breakfast nook, recessed lights. This true renovation will not disappoint and is the perfect spot to gather & entertain. We head into the new addition of the home which includes a beautiful family room space, complete with vaulted ceilings, stacked stone fireplace, as well as a beautiful full bathroom. Off the addition, you’ll find the laundry area and a side entrance that leads to the large and very private paver patio. We head upstairs, to the second floor, and notice the decorative spindles and newel post from yesteryear with the hardwood flooring continuing. The primary bedroom is located in the front of the home with closet organizers. Two additional bedrooms and a newly updated full bathroom in the hallway makes this home truly move-in ready. The third floor has the potential to be finished for a true primary en-suite or additional living space. The basement level has lots of room for storage, which the owners currently use, along with daylight windows and easy access to the newly replaced mechanicals. The backyard has plenty of space with a large paver patio, ideal for your year round barbeques or enjoying your morning coffee. You will notice a large gate on the surrounding fence, which could provide a space to add a driveway. 118 S. Franklin Street is in the heart of town, and an easy stroll to all that Doylestown Borough has to offer. Schedule a showing today and let this be your next place to call home.
