What's special
Tucked away in a quiet, tree-lined setting just minutes from the heart of both Newtown and Doylestown, this delightful 1920 home is a standout. Full of character and thoughtfully modernized, it’s anything but typical. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and over 3,000 square feet of space, there’s room to spread out and enjoy life—indoors and out. The main level features a spacious bedroom and updated bath, offering flexible living options. A stunning family room addition brings the wow factor with vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, and exposed stonework that adds warmth and texture. Natural light fills the space while skylights invite the outdoors in. The kitchen is a showstopper with custom cabinetry, quartz counters, a farmhouse sink, and updated lighting. It’s open enough to entertain yet private enough to enjoy a quiet morning coffee. A stone sunporch with floor-to-ceiling windows runs along the front of the home—perfect for relaxing all year round with peaceful views of the wooded landscape. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms share a sleek, updated bathroom. Every detail has been curated to blend modern comfort with original charm—wood floors, stone accents, and unique architectural touches set this home apart. Outside, a brick patio offers space to dine, unwind, or gather around the firepit. The oversized detached two-car garage gives you extra storage and flexibility. Nature lovers will appreciate the surrounding greenery, frequent wildlife sightings, and total sense of calm that comes with this tucked-away location. While it feels like a retreat, you’re still just minutes from major roadways, shops, and restaurants—making it the best of both worlds. This one-of-a-kind property invites you to slow down, explore every corner, and fall in love with a home that doesn’t follow the rules—because extraordinary never does.
