About This Home

As of December 2024

Open house canceled for this weekend. Welcome to this picturesque home oasis located in the historic borough of Quakertown! A must see- The lush greenery of the secluded backyard evokes the feeling of being in a botanical garden. With two covered porches, you will have ample options to enjoy your morning coffee or to watch the evening sunset. When you step into 49 S Main St you will feel like you stepped into another world. The beautiful beamed ceilings, exposed brick, and the gorgeous distressed hardwood floors bring you back to the unparalleled artisanship of the 1800s when this house was built. This home perfectly pairs stunning colonial craftsmanship with modern flair. The house boasts of natural sunlight throughout along with beautiful views from the windows. There have been many renovations, including all new kitchen appliances with slate finish, a GAF shingled roof, water heater and furnace along with a central air system that was added to the home. The first floor offers a large country kitchen with a separate breakfast area and kitchen island. Also featured on the first floor is an updated powder room with a beautiful exposed stone wall attached to the laundry room for convenience. The second floor hosts four bedrooms along with a full bathroom, and a stairway to an unfinished loft/ attic area for plentiful storage. Walking out to the backyard area is where you find the sprawling garden oasis, consisting of a gorgeous manicured lawn, and breathtaking views. There is a freestanding barn which offers a large workspace and another finished area for an office, playroom, den or general escape. The barn includes storage space on the second floor, which could also be converted into a finished loft area. Beyond the red barn behind the fenced area, is an additional parcel of land originally used for parking. This can be opened up and seeded for a larger backyard which would be perfect for outdoor entertaining. Nestled in the beautiful and historic Quakertown borough with all of its charm, 49 South Main St. is a half a block from McCooles, one of the most famous eateries in the country. Also in walking distant are countless restaurants, amazing shopping and some of the most exceptional antique shops around. 49 S Main Street is convenient to route 309, 313, the PA Turnpike, with an easy commute to Philadelphia and New York. This home will surely win you over, so please come and take a look.
