About This Home

As of August 2025

Beautifully remodeled contemporary house on a "Retreat" like large, wooded lot just 1 mile from everything Doylestown Borough has to offer. Upon entering the home, you will enjoy the beautiful skylit vaulted ceilings and wood burning fireplace in the main living area, through a set of French doors you will find an additional living/entertaining area with vaulted ceilings, skylights and a row of large casement windows. To the other side of the center hall is the Kitchen which has a multitude of cabinets/lighting and all new fixtures and appliances. In between the Kitchen and Dining room you will also find another covered entry for easy access to the driveway. Heading down the main hall you will find a laundry room with a Utilitub and an additional Pantry closet off of the Kitchen. At the end of the Hall, you will find the Primary Room featuring a Jack and Jill style bathroom, you will also find a Large Walk in Closet with California closet inserts and an additional sink & vanity. The Primary room also has French doors to incorporate the additional entertaining area if desired. Heading upstairs you will find a modern style loft overlooking the Living area with two hall closets and plenty of room for a home office or kids tv area. Off of the Loft you will find 2 Large bedrooms both with large walk-in closets. At the end you will find another Jack & Jill style bathroom with an additional extra room. The extra room could be used as a home office, studio, crafts room or even just a non-traditional guest room or additional walk-in closet. The Exterior features a freshly redone Deck off of the rear of the home with built in benches and partitions for entertaining in a beautiful, wooded setting. This home is in the perfect location to enjoy all of the things Central Bucks has to offer. You really can take the Bike & Hike path directly into town for all of the entertainment and shops without having to worry about parking, or head just minutes to Peace Valley Park the other direction. All while enjoying the serenity of close to an acre of your own. With the Major remodel done all you need to do is move in and enjoy.
