Surrounded by mature trees, lush landscaping, and open green space, this exceptional property offers a rare blend of historic character, modern conveniences, and peaceful outdoor living.
Inside, you'll find four spacious bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms, showcasing classic Victorian details that reflect the home's rich heritage. Warm and inviting living spaces provide the perfect setting for both everyday living and entertaining, while abundant windows fill the home with natural light and offer beautiful views of the surrounding grounds. The welcoming family room features custom built-ins and a cozy propane stove, creating a comfortable gathering space for family and friends.
The backyard is truly a private retreat, offering a picturesque, park-like setting with plenty of room for recreation and entertaining. Enjoy evenings around the fire pit, unwind in the relaxation tent, and take in the soothing sounds of the water fountain. Mature landscaping enhances the property's natural beauty, while a charming potting shed and impressive carriage house barn provide endless possibilities for gardening, hobbies, storage, workshops, or additional workspace. The barn includes a two-car garage, electric service, a workbench, and abundant storage.
Additional features include a finished attic with plans in place for a future full bathroom, offering excellent potential for expanded living space. The painted basement includes water-sealing concrete and convenient laundry facilities, providing a clean, well-maintained area with added protection and functionality. A whole-house generator offers year-round peace of mind, while the fully fenced backyard with a six-foot fence creates a secluded setting for relaxation, entertaining, and play.
Numerous updates enhance the home's appeal and value, including newer roofs on both the house and barn, new gutters, new windows, Central Air, and freshly painted exteriors on both buildings, making this property truly move-in ready.
Residents will appreciate the low taxes and exceptional location. Enjoy a short walk to the New Britain Train Station, sidewalks throughout the neighborhood, and convenient access to the Doylestown Bike & Hike Trail. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being within walking distance of Covered Bridge Park, offering scenic walking, biking, and running trails, while Peace Valley Park is just a short drive away, providing even more opportunities for recreation and enjoying nature.
Located within the highly regarded Central Bucks School District, this property also offers unique flexibility with its current R-1 Village Historic Commercial zoning designation. As presently zoned, the property may provide opportunities for a home-based business and exterior signage, making it an attractive option for those seeking both residential comfort and potential business use.
