About This Home
As of February 2020Welcome to 1697 Powderhorn Drive, a stately 4 Bedroom, 3.5 Bath Brick Front Colonial Home situated in the wonderful & well established community of Dolington Estates, located in Newtown, one of the most desirable areas in all of Bucks County. This home is being offered by its ORIGINAL OWNERS and "pride of ownership" doesn't begin to describe it! The first word that comes to mind is PRISTINE. From the minute you enter this meticulously maintained and beautifully appointed property, you will feel like you walked into new construction -- the condition is that perfect! Your incredible experience begins with a drive up to one of the largest lots in all of Dolington Estates - just over 2 acres: a true park like setting, with sprawling lawns encircling the home from all sides, and fabulous low maintenance landscaping & hardscaping, a portion of which is designated as nature reserve which only adds to the pretty views and privacy you will experience while you're relaxing in your lovely sunroom or on your large outdoor patio. The recently built curved portico entry welcomes you into a grand 2-story foyer with sweeping staircase and sunlit formal living and dining rooms with crown moldings, floor-to-ceiling windows and gleaming hardwood floors. Walk back through the center hall to the heart of the home which is marked by wide open rooms, high ceilings, neutral paint & decor and tons of windows. The Kitchen is classically beautiful & functional with tons of cabinetry, SS appliances, granite counters and huge center island. The massive sun drenched Family Room features custom wood burning fireplace, new luxury carpet and large Bay window. Tucked away next to the Family Room is the Study complete with a full wall of built in bookshelves. Its hard to know which room will be your favorite because there are so many, including a spacious FOUR SEASON sunroom to die for! A powder room and a large mud room complete the first floor. Upstairs you will find the Owners Suite with large sitting room, large walk-in closet, and pretty, neutral master bath featuring luxurious soaking tub w/ dual sinks. There are 3 additional nice-sized bedrooms all with new carpet throughout the 2nd floor as well as a full hall bath with dual sinks. As if that's not enough, head down 2 levels and step into an amazing 800+'ft finished lower level whose 9'ft ceilings really set this space apart from the "ordinary". This "half" day finished basement is the perfect retreat featuring a full bath, Gas Fireplace, lots of entertaining spaces and great storage area. Additional features of this property include completely finished oversized 3-car garage, dual zone HVAC & security system. This is an extremely accessible location, driving time to Center City Philadelphia is just 30 minutes. Princeton is 20 & Trenton is only 10 minutes away. You must come and EXPERIENCE this PRISTINE home today!
