203 Juniper St Quakertown, PA 18951

****SEPARATE INCOME PRODUCING CARRIAGE HOUSE OR IN-LAW APARTMENT**** One of Quakertown's most iconic properties, the grand house where Bucks County Legend Charles Meredith III spent his entire life, is going on the market for the first time in 80 years. This Victorian Gem was built in 1850 and sits on 3/4 of an acre. The corner lot and its magnificent shade trees and garden is just a short walk from downtown shops, restaurants, and the newly-opened Trolley Barn. The main house has five bedrooms, three full baths and in the rear of the property is a carriage house, a quaint cottage with galley kitchen, two bedrooms and one and a half baths. Between the two homes is a spacious brick patio, and hedgerows provide plenty of privacy. This listing is a once in a lifetime opportunity. As you walk up the wide front stairs of 203 Juniper Street, you begin to feel this is a house steeped in history. The front door opens into a large, gloriously appointed living room with a high, exposed beam ceiling. Three floor-to-ceiling windows face the street. Look down and you'll see meticulously inlaid wood floors, complete with Masonic Star and Compass. Built-in mahogany bookshelves will house many treasured book collections of the avid reader. A stately fireplace centers the room, its light grey stone popping against the dark mahogany walls. The wide base of the fireplace is Mercer Tile from Doylestown. Leaving the living room, you'll walk beneath twin mahogany arches and enter the light-filled formal dining room, with twin built-in corner cabinets with shelving. Off the dining room is a cozy wood paneled den; adjacent to the den is an office or first floor bedroom with a lovely bay window and wall of closets (some cedar). Going back through the dining room, you now pass from the old to the new: the original kitchen was renovated in the 2000's. A large timeless kitchen with radiant bamboo floors, granite countertops, Bosch double ovens, gas Thermador range, microwave and Bosch dishwasher. Through the kitchen you'll see a stunning 1000 square foot conservatory also added to the house in 2000's. The cabinets and granite countertops continue to extend the kitchen or use as a wet bar for easy entertaining. This room is heated and air conditioned for year round enjoyment. Start your mornings sipping coffee watching the sunrise and end your night watching the stars and the ever-changing sky...you may never leave this room. Upstairs, the five bedrooms are true Victorian, both large and small. The primary en-suite also has steps to the laundry room and a large cedar closet. The hallway bathroom was renovated in the 2000's, but the beautiful tile work was untouched, as well as the deep, oversized bathtub. One especially charming bedroom has inlaid wood floors with a door to its own sunlit glass porch. A shaded, private brick patio leads to the charming carriage house. With its galley kitchen, two bedrooms and one and a half baths, it's the perfect in-law suite or rental. Attached to the carriage house is a work shed, as well as a large one car garage. There is additional parking space for two cars on the ramp of the garage, plus plenty of street parking. A stunning property from every angle and in every season, 203 Jupiter Street is the crown jewel of the neighborhood. Don't forget to click on the video camera icon to take a virtual walkthrough.
