About This Home
As of April 2022Doylestown Borough is perhaps the best pedestrian friendly town in Bucks County and 208 E. Ashland is an address that will let you stroll down tree lined streets to the center of the Borough. All of the extraordinary restaurants, shops, museums, and don’t forget the County Theater, are within a few short minutes walk.
The 1920 Arts and Crafts home has been lovingly renovated by marquee contractors and expanded to blend Mission style architecture, with contemporary expectations. Step onto the rocking chair front porch and pass through the substantial wood door into the intimate living room, with the warm glow of the hardwood floors and trims reflecting the light from the gas fireplace.
The dining room can accommodate a small dinner to grand holiday gatherings with grace and style. Off the dining room, is the heart of this home. The kitchen; with its stainless Wolfe and Sub Zero appliances, rich custom cabinetry, stainless steel farm sink, and granite counters, provides a perfect environment to prepare everything from snacks to feasts. The island has barstool seating for casual on-the-go meals or a table with built-in bench seating, and a bank of large Arts and Crafts inspired windows that overlook the backyard, pool, and patio.
The bright and airy open concept family room, with its wall of almost floor to ceiling windows, is just off the kitchen. The centerpiece of this room is a lovely gas fireplace, perfect to cozy up to on a chilly winter evening.
A newly remodeled powder room completes the main floor.
Upstairs, is the spacious light filled Main bedroom with it’s wall of closets and built in storage for sweaters and other foldables. Two new walk-in closets flank the short hallway to the en suite bath. This bathroom has all of the amenities of a destination resort; like jetted tub, radiant heat, large walk-in shower, gorgeous twin cherry vanity, and marble tile and counters everywhere. There are three additional bedrooms and a new high end full bath.
As you go downstairs from the kitchen, there is a light filled landing with a spacious laundry room and a bonus room.
Continue down the basement stairs to the versatile sewing room/office/studio space. Pass through a glass door to another entertainment space with media capability, fireplace number 3, a second refrigerator, and wine bar. There is a full bath as well, which is perfect, because pass through the French Doors and you’ll find yourself outside on a large stone patio, perfect for cook outs and a beautiful heated swimming pool and spa. The pool is surrounded by a privacy fence and lush trees. Faithful to the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, there is a oversized two car detached garage and driveway parking as well. Church Street dead ends at the garage eliminating all through traffic. You can also pick up the Doylestown Community Hike and Bike trail across from the garage.
There is also a Generac Generator, that the current owners installed and a fenced raised bed garden.
Whether you’re coming from the city, or the county, 208 East Ashland Street will welcome you to to all of the possibilities that is Doylestown.
