4984 Gayman Rd, Doylestown, PA 18902

This 18th century country home on 11 acres awaits you in Plumstead Township and is just around the corner from every access point north, south, east or west. This charming four-bedroom, four-bathroom home combines timeless appeal with modern comforts. As 500 acre lots were sold off by William Penn in the late 1600’s, a path now known as Gayman Road, separated the original and larger parcel of land in that pre-revolutionary time. You will notice much of the area remains a quaint and quiet farming community. The residence has aesthetic appeal with its classic architectural details, most especially the vintage woodwork and interior window details. Exposed wood flooring and hand-crafted steps in the original section of the home are notable. Explore the second floor with three bedrooms in the vintage section of the home and find hidden cubbies! The 2006 two-story 900 square foot addition with a full basement excavation opened up both the first and second floors. The re-design of the first level created a new “front” door that allowed space for a mud room and a 4th full bathroom. Walk down the new hallway to the newer kitchen with Mauser maple wood, vintage series 45 inch cabinets with a large walk-in pantry. The kitchen invites you to join the large open living space you see on the first level. The center point of this open space is the gas fireplace with a natural stone surround. The large dining room adjoining the living area provides multiple options for use. The second level of the addition allowed for the creation of the lovely homeowner’s suite with two walk-in closets and accompanying full bathroom. During this renovation, ALL the windows in the home were replaced with Prism Ultra Low E argon filled insulated glass. Colonial style flat grills within the new glass and full insect screens complete the home for the modern world. The 1800’s (middle) addition to the home was re-roofed to match the new roof line and finished with 30-year fiberglass/asphalt architectural shingles. The original part of the roof is slate. Custom-made blinds for the new addition are still in storage … they were never installed. The owners found the newly expanded views could best be described as a pastural nature sanctuary. With such privacy, why cover them! Step outside from the French doors in the main living area to a lovely bluestone terrace with steps and walkways adorning a garden path to the inground pool. The pool was completely restored in 2021 and features Henry Mercer’s custom designed tiles. Be ready for play or simply unwind at the end of the day. The property also includes two out-buildings, suitable for automobile storge and or animal husbandry offering a glimpse into the property's rich history.
