Property Description
This historic home is the perfect blend of beautiful old world charm and newly renovated convenience and comfort. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood at the heart of quaint Doylestown Borough and overlooking the open space of Burpee Park you will find this timeless treasure. A quick stroll down the tree lined streets will find you in the fun filled downtown shops and restaurants.
Once a twin, this gem has been converted to a single family home while maintaining some of the original characteristics of the 1856 stone home. Folks strolling down the street will not know the secret that lies behind the two doors. Showings to begin at Open House on Saturday morning.
As you enter the home, you’ll immediately be struck by the attention to detail to maintain the feeling of the original living space. Original woodwork, deep window sills and built-in shelving surround the room. To your right you will see what was the interior of #213 E. Oakland Ave. The stunning woodburning fireplace has been refurbished for active use. This half of the room features the restored oak flooring and a set of rebuilt winding stairs leading to the primary bedroom. The left side of the room was the original interior of #211 E. Oakland Ave. This side features new flooring chosen to match its twin and a built-in bookshelf utilizing the space formerly occupied by the fireplace. Both mantles are the originals and mirror each other as do the matching “back doors” that lead to the kitchen.
Stroll into the spacious addition at the back of the home to find the fabulous kitchen, dining area, family room and powder room. The spacious gourmet kitchen offers custom cabinetry, a large kitchen island, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash and a Samsung Bestoke refrigerator with customized panels. You choose if you’d like a pop of color with the green panels or replace with the stainless steel panels, or shop for the panels that best suits your style. A coffee bar and beverage refrigerator will allow for ease in entertaining. The original exterior stone wall has been thoughtfully exposed and serves as a focal point in the kitchen. The open concept allows for a natural flow from the kitchen to the dining area.
The sun filled family room overlooks the picturesque backyard with a new paver patio, perfect for a Summer BBQ, outdoor games and gardening. The original 2 story barn has been converted to an oversized one car garage, along with a parking pad to allow for off street parking.
Back inside, let’s head to the second floor. At the front of the house, find a primary suite with restored wide plank hardwoods, gorgeous front windows that have been hand renovated and include the original wavy glass with deep window sills. Also enjoy a spacious walk-in closet, one original closet, and a primary bathroom with a spacious, tile surround walk-in shower, dual sink vanity and a pocket door for privacy. All this overlooking Burpee Park with south facing views.
Two additional bedrooms with French closet doors, a hallway bathroom and a convenient laundry room with shelving can be found in the rear addition. The home's third floor features a large bonus room with plenty of space for a fourth bedroom, office, home gym or playroom. You’ll love all the natural lighting and the bank of windows with views of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
Old world meets a special renovation to bring the glory back to this 167 year old home with the perfect blend of historic charm and modern amenities. Some of the many improvements include: a new roof, new 3 zone heat pump HVAC system, all updated electrical and plumbing throughout, new chimney liner and chimney cap, new flagstone on covered front porch and so much more. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Doylestown’s rich history. Showings begin at open house on Saturday.
