Property Description
This "Grand Ol' Lady is back and rarin' to go!" In gorgeous Doylestown Borough and minutes to walk to all the fine restaurants, museums, parks and Memorial Day parade, please take a moment and step back to the Victorian Era. This home, carefully and thoughtfully designed by Oscar Martin c.1899 (and on the Oscar Martin tour of Doylestown homes) has the character, warmth and charm of bygone days, with all the benefits of an upgraded kitchen, baths, central air, newer roof, finished basement, 3 car detached garage with openers, and more. As you enter the wrap around front porch, note that there is plenty of room for porch furniture for those impromptu "porch parties"! As you step inside, an open floor plan is evident with all of the rooms open to each other and anchored by an exposed brick wall that houses the fireplace with a gas woodstove. The open plan kitchen offers "top of the line" appliances and unique, concrete counter tops with a built-in breakfast table. The formal dining room, family room and mud room complete the first floor. Up the grand front staircase are three bedrooms that share a large hall bath with clawfoot tub. There is also a cozy library, and a second floor laundry and crafts room, where a back staircase is located nearby. The main bedroom retreat is located on the third floor and has a wood-burning fireplace, walk-in closet, 5th bedroom or office/sitting room, and its own private bathroom. Once serving as town's carriage repair shop, the finished walk-out basement with powder room now offers even more living space. This home is on the Historical Registry and was featured on the 2006 Christmas house tour! Large screen TV in family room included. Newer water heater (2015), oil tank (2016) roof (2008-9), A 1 year home buyers warranty is included for extra peace of mind! All this in award-winning Central Bucks School District.
