About This Home

As of March 2025

Nestled in the highly desirable Doylestown Hunt community within the acclaimed Central Bucks School District, this meticulously crafted “Devon” colonial offers a private lot with scenic views of open and wooded areas. Enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance to Historic Doylestown Borough, where you’ll find a vibrant selection of shopping, dining, museums, and more.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a foyer with hardwood floors that extend throughout the hallway and into the formal living and dining rooms. These freshly painted rooms feature upgraded hardwood flooring, adding a refined touch. The renovated kitchen stands out, offering granite countertops, a stainless steel under-mount sink, and a terracotta tile backsplash. The 16” x 16” white cabinetry with a glazed inset, complemented by recessed lighting and additional built-in cabinetry with granite countertops and under-cabinet lighting, creates an inviting atmosphere. Premium stainless steel appliances include a KitchenAid Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator, a Kitchen-Aid 4-burner gas stove/oven, and a dishwasher. From the breakfast room, a slider leads to an expansive rear deck and backyard—ideal for relaxation and entertaining. The adjacent family room features a wood-burning fireplace, new carpeting (12/24), and backyard views. A laundry room with ceramic tile flooring, a sink, and a convenient half bath completes the main level.
The owner's suite is a serene retreat upstairs, offering a spacious walk-in closet with custom organizers, a ceiling fan, and an upgraded ensuite bathroom. The bathroom features a walk-in shower with seamless glass, a custom oval tub, and ceramic tile flooring. Three additional well-appointed bedrooms, all with double closets, share a hall bathroom with a tub/shower. The unfinished basement provides ample storage space and offers potential for future expansion. Additional highlights include a newer Trane XV95 HVAC system (installed 7/23), a JDS Air Tech 2000 high-efficiency air filtration system, a newer hot-water heater (installed 1/18), and a Generac generator. Relax or entertain on the expansive rear deck with open and wooded views.
This home is ideally situated within walking distance of Doylestown Borough, the SEPTA train station, and all the town's shops, dining, and cultural attractions. With easy access to major commuting routes such as I-95, the Blue Route, Northeast Extention, and the PA & NJ turnpikes, the location is commutable to New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, the Poconos, and the greater Philadelphia suburbs. This property offers a peaceful retreat and unparalleled convenience.
