About This Home

As of December 2020

On a quiet, tree lined street in the highly sought after Arborlea neighborhood, you will find this charming expanded Cape Cod offering 4 bedrooms, including a newer first floor master suite and 3 full baths. In this wonderful home you will find all the charm of the 1940s with today's modern amenities. As you enter into the vestibule/foyer that keeps the elements out of the main home, you immediately notice the attention to detail throughout this home. Enter through the glass French door onto the recently refinished wood floors that flow throughout most of the home. The dining room features a wood burning fireplace with wood surround mantle, a built in china/storage closet and is open to what is currently the sitting room that could also be an office/study. Take note of the unique folding wood doors that separate the two rooms. The well thought out kitchen has been updated with custom cabinetry, under cabinet lighting, pull out cabinets with many unique storage options and granite countertops. This kitchen is open to the breakfast room and family room addition. The family room is a wonderful sun drenched space to gather and has hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace and lots of windows offering views out over the backyard and gardens. Go through the French doors from this area to the light filled sunroom with heated tile floors, a skylight and sliding doors that lead to the backyard oasis and paver patio. From the family room you can also access the outside from the side door that leads to the side covered porch. Lastly, on this level is an updated full bath with custom tiled shower and a laundry room with utility sink and extra storage. The serene first floor master suite addition features a cathedral ceiling, a wood burning fireplace surrounded by built-ins and pocket doors leading to the master bath. The master bath boasts his and her sinks, each with their own custom wall cabinet and outlet inside to plug in and hide your personal items. A stunning custom tiled shower, rain sensor skylight with remote to open, heated towel bar, linen closet, a walk-in custom closet with organizers and a closet for storage or as the current homeowners are using it, as a mini office. Mrs. Seller has thought of every possible storage use in this addition. This master suite has its own heat and A/C. Take the staircase to the second floor with three additional bedrooms each with hardwood floors and ceiling fans. They each have their own unique closets and storage areas, including built-in cedar chests. The 3 bedrooms share the partially updated full bath with skylight that opens. The unfinished basement is a great place to storage those items not is daily use. Also find a crawl space under the master bedroom addition for extra storage. Enjoy the backyard with a paver patio and mature landscaping with many hydrangeas, hosta's, other beautiful plantings and storage shed. Of special note are the newer windows, newly painted exterior and newer HVAC. Arborlea is a wonderful neighborhood in Yardley that has an annual picnic, Halloween Parade, Santa visits at Christmas and a neighborhood library box makes this a wonderful place to call home.
