About This Home

As of August 2019

JUST REDISTRICTED for Council Rock North High School, brand new Newtown Middle School and newly renovated Blue Ribbon Wrightstown Elementary School! Welcome to stately 79 Matthew Circle, a stately brick colonial situated on a premium 1.26 acre lot in lovely Highspire. This 4,364 sq.ft. 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home offers it all...quiet, peaceful neighborhood, fantastic space with large room sizes, 9' ceilings, dual zone HEAT PUMPS WITH OIL BACK-UP, generator, gorgeous fenced backyard in a wooded setting with inground swimming pool, and finished lower level offering an additional 1,200+ sq.ft. of living area. Move right into this beautifully maintained home in time to enjoy days of summer fun by the pool! Begin in the elegant two-story foyer with marble floor and a stunning curved staircase. The adjacent formal dining room features crown molding, chair rail and shadow boxing, gleaming hardwood flooring and room to host large gatherings for special occasions. The formal living room offers the same rich hardwood floors and chair rail. Tucked away in a quiet corner off the living room, a private office provides beautiful work space replete with custom built-in bookcases. French doors lead to a cozy sunroom perfect for reading a great book. The great room is warm and welcoming with exposed wood beams, a striking two-story brick fireplace, full wet bar, airy vaulted ceiling, and sun-drenched French doors to the back deck and pool. The center island kitchen and adjacent breakfast room also open to the deck which provides a fabulous open floor plan "flow" for indoor/outdoor entertaining in the warmer months. The kitchen boasts solid cherry custom cabinets, black appliances, center island with a cooktop, exhaust fan and great work space, a convenient granite breakfast bar with stools and sunny windows overlooking the park-like back yard. Enjoy wonderful meals at the breakfast room table or entertain guests while you prepare your meal. The breakfast room showcases a two-story vaulted ceiling, Palladian window, back staircase and 2nd floor overlook. A laundry room, powder room and study complete the first level. The second floor offers a spacious master bedroom with adjacent sitting room, 25' X 15' walk-in closet and a luxury ensuite bath. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the cornered garden tub. Other bathroom features include a vaulted ceiling, skylight, tiled shower and double vanity. Three other carpeted bedrooms with ample closet space share a nicely appointed hall bath. Looking for extra recreation space? The finished lower level provides two connected large open spaces ideal for a media area, family room, gameroom or exercise area. The unfinished area provides great storage. A brand new post and rail fence surrounds the inground pool and back yard. You can't find a prettier backdrop for outdoor entertaining than pool parties on the two-tiered wood deck set amongst a gorgeous treed oasis. It backs up to 75 acres of protected woodland with privacy galore. The swimming pool was fully renovated 7 years ago (vacuum 2014, pump 2017, cover 2016). This home offers the perfect combination of luxury space, top tier school district, easy access to I-95 and the PA Turnpike via the nearby Newtown bypass, and convenient nearby shopping and terrific eateries in quaint downtown Richboro. Great commute to Princeton/Pennington/Hopewell, NJ, Philadelphia and King of Prussia with local trains to NYC. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the quintessential Bucks County suburban lifestyle with all the comforts of home!
