About This Home

As of March 2016

Enter this magnificently charming home from the large and inviting freshly coated, tree covered patio through the oval cut glass door to the newly installed marble floor in the vestibule. Pass through the wooden, glass paned door immediately you will notice the elaborately placed woodwork throughout the home starting with the double landing staircase and bright open living room featuring custom multi-directional hardwood flooring recently refinished, double windows, high ceilings and an entrance framed with gorgeous built-in full length shelving. The theme throughout the home is large wooden trim around windows, doors and baseboards. The hallway leads to the dining room featuring a wall of built in glass paned cabinets and shelving. Place your dining room table in here and you're done! The kitchen features updated oak cabinets, large deep porcelain sink, wall window cut out to overlook the living room. Enter the laundry room from the kitchen and find an oversized pantry and access to the very large and open backyard which includes a patio and an outdoor fireplace, perfect for entertaining! You will notice that the very long driveway down the side of the house has potential to lead straight through the backyard to the alleyway by simply removing a portion of fence. Or leave it up to keep a fully fenced yard. Large full basement has storage shelving over the steps and several rooms for a work shop, a second fridge/freezer or for storage. Or if you prefer there is a large floored attic above the master bedroom for storage. The first landing of the beautiful wooden staircase contains an updated half bath. Follow the steps to a second landing and up to a large open hallway containing the entrances to 3 big rooms with very large closets and a full bath. The Master bedroom features 2 large closets on either side of the room and the attic storage access. BRAND NEW electrical wiring with upgrade to 200 amp service. Historical fact: This house is the prior residence of Dr. Jean Kirkpatrick, a pioneer, who founded the national organization, "Women for Sobriety" a program which still exists today! Make your appointment now to see this gem on a quiet street in this sought after neighborhood in the Quakertown Borough.
