About This Home

As of November 2021

Stunning house on a hill.  Located in the highly desirable Doylestown Ridge community this bright and beautiful home can soon be yours.  This home is located in the award-winning Central Bucks School District with easy access to major commuter routes and only 5 minutes from the wonderful restaurants, shops, and entertainment in the historic town of Doylestown and just minutes from Peace Valley Park, Lake Gelena or jump right on 611 or 313 for a quick commute. The impressive two story foyer greets you as you enter the home.  Immediately to your left is your dedicated first floor office with glass french doors, perfect for working quietly from home.  Continue past the recently updated hallway powder room to the kitchen.  The kitchen features gas cooking and a bright white country feel.  The kitchen sink looks out to your sprawling private back yard.  The den has a vaulted ceiling with a gas fireplace for cozy winter nights.  The first floor has additional semi-formal living and dining room areas which meld seamlessly together for entertaining friends and family.  This level is finished off with a substantial mudroom/laundry room which leads directly to a large two car garage.  The second floor has a large primary bedroom with a large primary bathroom including a relaxing soaking tub.  Included in the primary is not one, but two closets.  A large walk in and a second large hallway closet.  This primary hallway leads to a large private sitting area that can be used as a second home office, work out area or upstairs reading/tv room.  The three secondary rooms are nicely sized with plenty of space and bright windows.  The basement is large and unfinished and ready to make it whatever you desire.  The sliding glass door off the kitchen leads to a good sized two tier deck with custom awning.  The backyard widens out to a large and private grassy backyard without a neighbor in sight. 
This is a special one so don't let it slip through your fingers and see it today!
