About This Home
As of February 2019The 1884 Thomas W. Trego House and Winner of the 2017 Stewardship Award from Doylestown Borough. Pictures speak a thousand words. Undoubtedly the most impressive and comprehensive restoration in all of Doylestown Borough! Perfectly located on sought after Maple Avenue, with over one half acre, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, private driveway, in ground heated pool with spa, one car garage and outdoor playhouse. This iconic Queen Anne home has been lovingly updated by the finest craftsmen, each a true artisan of their field. No surface was left unturned. Every room in this home will impress your senses as the sunlight finds its way into each space. Original wood details are prominent on floors, moldings, large pocket doors, hallway doors and trim throughout. European flair added at the four fireplaces with English, gas fired, coal baskets. The stunning new kitchen is a chef's delight with gorgeous custom cabinetry, marble countertops, kitchen island and top of the line appliances. Off the kitchen is a spacious breakfast room with custom built-in hutch and beautiful views. The inviting living room and dining room, each with their own fireplaces offer 10 feet ceilings. Newly remodeled family room is at the back of the home with walls of new insulated windows to allow views of the private rear yard and an exposed brick wall. The second floor hosts the Owner's Quarters to include a bedroom with fireplace, sitting room with wall of custom built-in bookcases and a cozy fireplace, an impressively appointed custom walk-in closet, and a breathtaking new owner's bathroom. The newly designed laundry room completes the second floor. The third floor is a delightful surprise with three generous bedrooms, great closet space, high ceilings, a loft/family room, and a gorgeously updated bathroom. There is also so much to boast about outdoors with all the attention to detail and artistic procurement throughout the yard, landscaping and exterior of home. You'll love the inground heated pool with spa and private space. A darling playhouse is located out back with new copper roof. ALL NEW electric, plumbing, water/sewer/gas lines to the street, underground electric, whole house Kohler natural gas generator, heat and air systems, water heaters (one for master suite, one for rest of house), masonry flues for all four fireplaces, Bevolo gas lamps at exterior doors, copper on top roof, egress door system from basement and home generator.
