About This Home

As of November 2020

Welcome to 31 Golf View Road, Doylestown Boro's most prestigious address, overlooking Doylestown Country Club, offering views that carry your eyes for miles. The sellers purchased this 1928 home and lovingly remodeled it in its entirety in 2016 adding over 600 square feet of additional living for today's lifestyle, while maintaining the integrity of the original charm. This home offers breathtaking views from the bluestone porch in the front of your home where sunrise and sunsets can be admired and evening chats or morning coffee can be enjoyed. Entering this 4 bedroom 3. 5 bath home you will find an expansive foyer with natural light streaming through from many of the rooms adorning it. Walking through this home you can't help but feel the warmth, yet experience the spaciousness of the living room with gas fireplace, the dining room with fireplace (gas line hookup) detailed in its original state with Mercer tiles, allowing for this space to intrigue guests while enjoying a lovely dinner. Custom millwork creates entryways that are seamlessly detailed and create depth and beauty to each area. The epicenter of this home is the kitchen inspired by the love of cooking and gathering of friends and family alike. White Cabinetry and quartzite countertops with grey tones bring a natural bright aura to this room with 6 burner gas stove with convection oven, a floor to ceiling refrigerator and an additional floor to ceiling freezer with low profile custom cabinet overlays to again, create a continuum of luxury and a handcrafted banquette perfect for the breakfast nook. Additional entertaining and preparing can be accomplished in the Butlers Pantry with additional oven, wine-beverage fridge, sink, and tile work complimentary of the detail most would not think of adding, but all could utilize. A must for most is the private study tucked away for productivity and focus on the tasks ahead of you; there is no shortage of natures offerings with the wall of windows that simply allow you to work in an environment that feels good. Upstairs on the second floor is the Owner's Suite with custom spa-like triple-head shower, quartzite countertops with dual sinks, two walk-in closets just outside the bathroom and space to create a sitting area if desired. Finishing off this second floor down a private hall is bedroom number two with a private ensuite and walk in closet, again, with views to wake up happily to. Meander up to the third floor and this is truly a floor created for children, guests or an Au-Pair with two additional bedrooms, a shared full-bath and a media space in the center for all to gather or one to relax. Your outdoor space in an extension of your home and is unlike any other lot in the boro, offering a three car garage, with just under an acre of property, lush landscaping perfect for a pool if desired. Outdoor social areas have been created with the help of hardscape and landscape designers who envisioned social spaces around a brick gas-fed fireplace, an eating area just outside the rear entry, or a seating area at the curvature of this large bluestone patio. Walkable to restaurants, shops and museums, this home provides you with the feel of a daily getaway while moments away from cultural cuisine, parks and an enrichment of community. Easy access to railways and highways for NY, NJ and Philly commuters. Septa nearby.
