About This Home

As of November 2024

PRICE REDUCTION heightens the wonderful opportunity to own one of the “coolest” houses in Doylestown Borough! A mid-century modern style, it is located in the wonderful Fairview neighborhood (once the Fairview Race Track) of eclectic homes. Sited on the oval curve, the property has a large backyard. The Hardie Plank exterior was completed early 2024 and other inside and outside upgrades and improvements totally $100,000 were made by the current owner. A unique main level circular floor plan, the staircase adds a modern architectural feature. The open staircase can have risers added to it. Custom window shades include the remote controlled blackout shades on the two floor-to-ceiling fixed pane windows. The tiled entry has a closet and wraps around to the powder room and kitchen/family room. The large living room offers many options for use, including a dining area. Large sliding windows provide natural light. There is original oak flooring on both floors and luxury vinyl plank installed in three bathrooms, the kitchen, and family room. The galley kitchen has long counters topped with high-end leather finish granite, lots of solid wood cabinets, and it is open to the family room with a freestanding wood burning fireplace. The two hanging cabinets can easily be moved to another location to open the view. A door in the kitchen leads to the 1-car garage with a rear door to the backyard and the sliding door make backyard access convenient. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two bathrooms. The primary bedroom spans the width of the house and has an ensuite bathroom. Down the window-lined hall is a full hall bathroom, linen closet, and two other bedrooms. The basement offers an opportunity to finish the 17'x23' open space with laundry area, on-demand tankless water heater, whole house water treatment system, and windows for natural light. The other part of the basement is a huge, raised crawl space that can be utilized for storage. An unusual treed property in the borough, there are large, mature trees that provide privacy and shade and there is also open space. Areas among the tall trees create idyllic places to eat, drink, play, and relax. The attached 1-car garage was just partially rebuilt and the ceiling raised with structural support to allow for a potential future roof deck and garden. Beautiful landscaping adds sophisticated curb appeal and the driveway was recently repaved. A unique and special home in an excellent location (an elementary school is walking distance away), it is close to all the amenities of Doylestown, a renowned destination with museums, a community-owned movie theater, wonderful restaurants with cuisine diversity, specialty shops, and nearby shopping centers and parks. It doesn’t get better than this for ambiance, character, entertaining, and tranquility. Taxes are less than $5500. This well-loved, exciting property is waiting for your touches, and it is a place that will welcome you back every time you return. Welcome home!
