About This Home
As of November 2021A serene setting awaits. Beautiful 1.2 acre lot offers open space for gardening and backyard fun, woods and creek at the rear of the property and a multi level deck for enjoying it all! Large windows throughout the first floor of this home take in the stunning views of yard and passing wildlife. Step inside this stone and frame front home and you will be captivated by the dramatic floor to ceiling stone wood burning fireplace in the family room. Flanked by an atrium door and large window (new in 2011) that capture the view of the yard and deck, this is the room you will enjoy in every season. The center hall entry with wood flooring leads to the peaceful living room and formal dining room with brand new, neutral carpeting as well as directly into the family room. Adjoining the family room is the open kitchen and breakfast room with a wall of windows and privacy to enjoy your meals and conversation. New appliances were added in the open tiled floor kitchen. A large pantry is located between the dining room and kitchen. Custom wood flooring was recently added in the family room. The primary bedroom is on this level and you will find a second stone fireplace (gas line was added but not used) for this fireplace. An updated window (2011) allows views of the deck. A full bath with soaking tub, shower and double sinks as well as a nearby first floor laundry room allow for ease of first floor living here. The second and third upper bedrooms are spacious and a fourth bedroom/den is used as an office. The hall bath was renovated in 2008. Additional improvements include new roof, enlarged gutters and downspouts in 2012, well pump was replaced in 2013 and water heater was replaced in 2019. A one year home warranty is included for peace of mind! Large 2 car garage and full unfinished basement offer plenty of storage and additional space. The new Doylestown hike and bike trail will be nearby and will offer easy access to schools, town and walking trails. Top rated schools, healthcare and historic Doylestown Borough are only minutes away. You will love living here.
