About This Home

As of May 2025

Nestled on a private, lush lot in the highly desirable Doylestown Lea community, 38 Bittersweet Drive is a rare find. It's not often a property becomes available along the tree-lined Neshaminy Greenway Trail in the neighborhood. This impressive 4-bedroom, 2.1-bathroom home boasts multiple refined living spaces, perfect for both sophisticated entertaining and relaxed everyday living. As you step inside through the portico, you are greeted by the grand two-story foyer featuring gleaming hardwood floors that extend throughout most of the main level. To the left, the formal living room radiates timeless elegance with an abundance of natural light and a neutral color palette that invites relaxation. On the right, the formal dining room exudes sophistication, enhanced by crown molding and chair rail detailing, providing the perfect backdrop for hosting elegant dinner parties and special occasions. Adjacent to the dining room, a butler's pantry effortlessly leads into the gourmet kitchen, where you’ll find granite countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, rich wood cabinetry, a spacious center island, and updated appliances. The sun-drenched breakfast nook offers stunning views of the picturesque, private backyard. Step down into the inviting great room, where a cozy wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround serves as the room's focal point, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Double glass sliding doors open to the expansive back deck, ideal for dining al fresco or simply unwinding in nature. A convenient main-level laundry room with garage access, as well as a tastefully appointed powder room, add to the home's functionality and comfort. Ascend up the gracefully turned staircase, to find the luxurious primary suite, offering soaring vaulted ceilings, two spacious walk-in closets, and two private sitting areas for moments of peaceful retreat. The spa-like en-suite bath features dual vanities, an oversized soaking tub, and a large stall shower. Three additional spacious bedrooms, each with ample closet space, share a beautifully appointed full bathroom with a tub shower. The unfinished basement with walkout access to the backyard provides abundant storage options to suit all of your needs while offering plenty of potential for customization. Located within the highly regarded Central Bucks School District and within walking distance to Central Park, scenic trails, Terrain at DelVal, and the exciting soon-to-be completed Doylestown Township Park Improvement Project, this home provides unparalleled access to modern conveniences.
