About This Home
As of July 2023Welcome home to 78 Bittersweet Drive, a stately Tiffany model with classic brick facade that features over 5,000 sq ft of beautiful living spaces. Enter the two-story foyer with grand, centered staircase and embrace the hardwood floors and architectural elements, including wainscoting, crown molding, and chandelier medallion. The formal living room is to your right and formal dining room to your left. Pass through the butlers pantry to the open concept kitchen, boasting cherry cabinets, custom island, granite counters, and Viking appliances, including range hood and commercial oven and six-burner gas range. From both the kitchen sink and every seat at the breakfast table, you'll admire views of the tree line at Central Park, spectacular in every season. The kitchen opens to the two-story great room, with gas fireplace, neutral paint, and sunlight pouring through. Through French doors, you can work from home in peace and quiet from the functional office. Both laundry and powder room round out the first floor. Up the grand front staircase or the casual switchback staircase off the breakfast room, you'll find comfortable living quarters. The oversized primary suite has cathedral ceiling, custom neutral paint, and electric fireplace for ambience. Three spacious closets offer abundant storage solutions. The primary bathroom is flooded with light, boasting a dual vanity, stall shower, and soaking tub. Down the hall, two spacious bedrooms share a hallway bathroom and the spacious princess suite features its own private en suite bathroom. The lower level was designed with entertainment in mind. The custom bar includes hardwood cabinets, granite counters, beverage refrigerator, sink, and ample storage for glassware and appliances. Watch game day with friends, play billiards, or cozy around the home's third [gas] fireplace. Next to the sliding glass doors that lead to the outdoor oasis, you'll find a lower level powder room and cabana-style changing room for your guests' convenience during pool parties. The backyard resort is calling your name, with raised deck for dining off the kitchen and sprawling patio that weaves through lush gardens and around the in-ground pool and spa. With thoughtful flowering landscaping and shaded spaces for additional seating, guests will never want to leave this private oasis. A hammock is nestled between trees for ultimate relaxation on a summer day. This garden haven features a practical shed and raised planters. Trees and shrubs were carefully planted for enhancing privacy in all seasons. Back inside, you'll find unfinished basement spaces for your fitness and storage needs, as well as an oversized three-car garage. Doylestown Lea is the neighborhood to belong to, in close proximity to Central Park, biking distance to Central Bucks schools, and a stone's throw from the new Terrain Gardens at Del Val, which open in June. Take advantage of this spectacular opportunity to live in the heart of the action!
