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 of eclectic homes. The exterior has just been transformed with the chosen colors of Hardie Plank fiber cement siding and it is a WOW! With a main level circular floor plan, the staircase adds a modern architectural element, as do the two floor-to-ceiling fixed pane windows. A tiled entry wraps around to the powder room and kitchen. The large flex space can be used as a combination living room/dining room. Many original features remain that maintain this modern gem, including all the cabinetry and large sliding windows. There is original oak flooring on both floors and luxury vinyl tiles installed in three bathrooms, the kitchen, and family room. The galley style kitchen has long counters topped with high-end leather finish granite, lots of cabinets, including surrounding the refrigerator, and there is a door into the garage with a rear door to the backyard. The family room features a freestanding, wood burning fireplace that adds natural heat to the area and a sliding door gives easy access to the backyard. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two bathrooms. The primary bedroom spans the width of the house and has an ensuite bath. Down the window lined hall is a linen closet, a full hall bathroom, and two other bedrooms. The basement offers an opportunity to finish the 17x23 open space, and it already has an insulated ceiling, baseboard heat, and two 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. There are areas among the tall trees to create an ideal place to relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine at the end of the day. 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. There is room for a floored area over the rafters for additional storage. Beautiful landscaping adds sophisticated curb appeal, and there is plenty of parking in the paved long driveway. A show stopping home in an excellent location (there’s even an elementary school 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 comfortable living, entertaining, and tranquility. Taxes are less than $5500. More than $100,000 was spent, inside and outside, to make this well-loved, special home an oasis that will welcome you back every time you return.
