About This Home

As of April 2022

Location Location Location is the key. This is a truly walkable location. This Historic Doylestown Boro home is located in the first block on East State Street that is still 100% residential. Built in 1877 for Peter Stommel, then town tailor, and owned by the same family for almost 50 years. This is an ideal home as Burpee Park is across the street , Fanny Chapman Pool is only a five minute walk away, and Central Bucks Schools are within walking distance. For Philadelphia commuters, the train station is within walking distance. In addition, museums, shopping, and restaurants are just steps away. All the Boro has to offer is within walking distance making location one of its best features! This Stucco over brick Victorian 3-4 bedroom, 2 bath could be yours to continue the tradition. Home features original random width pine flooring, Pennsylvania Blue Marble mantel, exposed brick, 9 foot ceilings and neutral color, newly painted rooms. Spacious dining and living room with fireplace make entertaining a delight. Newer stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Completing the first floor is a family room, full bath and laundry. Choose your stairway to the second floor with two spacious bedrooms and a smaller third bedroom, office or sitting room and large hall bath. Fourth bedroom, additional storage and attic space on the third floor. Front and side porches extend the outdoor living with a lovely stone wall that surrounds the property. Full basement with exit has plenty of room for storage and has been used as a game room. Two car garage PLUS parking for at least two more cars. Updates including two zone high velocity air conditioning (2012), stucco removed and replaced down to the brick with a replacement slate roof (within last 15 years).
