About This Home

As of March 2024

Close to everything that Doylestown has to offer, the locational amenities of this delightful 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom beauty in the highly sought after Central Bucks School Disctrict offer elegant Cape Cod-style presence. Representing the welcoming personality of the home, a front-facing, breezy porch is a structural hello to passers-by and a nice spot for relaxing with refreshments, whether in solitude or among family or neighbors. Cross the threshold into a warm welcome that includes hardwood floors in the foyer and dining room, an open floor plan that boasts natural light, stylish lighting fixtures, neutral decor, and a show stopper wood burning stove in the living room underneath exposed beams that inspires gathering and conversation. The neutral palette of the current finishings provide a perfect blank canvas for your interior design talents.
With decor that inspires culinary artistry, the kitchen charms with gorgeous stainless steel appliances, fresh updates, and butcher block countertops. On the second level of this home you will find two generously sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom is tranquil and serene. You will also notice the secondary bedroom is unique and designed with plenty of closet space.
How nice would it be to have a large attractively landscaped yard comes with rear fencing for seclusion? Enjoy pleasant views of the nearby trees and overlooking Neshaminy Creek. No flood insurance needed! Having a driveway with ample accommodation for visiting vehicles leads to a detached three-car garage that is available for its original purpose or for conversion is an added bonus. Grill, cooler, and resident grillmaster are a natural trio on the deck, which is dependably crafted of wood. Other amenities include close proximity to town center, shopping and dining, and schools. This delightful abode is a true Doylestown charmer. The only missing ingredient is you. Schedule your showing today!
