Property Description
An amazing opportunity to own this landmark property in the heart of Doylestown Borough. Experience living at its finest with this rare period find situated on an extraordinarily large corner lot surround by tree-lined streets is the Giles Gordon House - circa 1871. A 3-story, 4 bedroom, 2 bath Federal-style home just steps away from the center of town with access to shops, restaurants and all the cultural spots that the borough has to offer including the Septa train station providing commuting into Philadelphia. Oozing with character and charm, this home captures your attention immediately. From the stately brick exterior, architectural corbels, eyebrow windows, fluted cement columns and ornate wrought iron gate which ornaments the rear yard and garage area as well to the cozy courtyard, this home will steal your heart. Enter into the open and inviting living room with its hardwood flooring, decorative wood burning fireplace and multiple large windows allowing an abundance of sunlight. The convenient neighboring dining room offers plenty of room for those special gatherings and is adorned with a perfectly positioned bay window and access to the side porch for that spot-on entertainment flow. Follow the continuing hardwood path to the sunny kitchen which features a neutral pallet and plenty of cabinetry along with a useful wall pantry and entry to both the unfinished basement and backyard patio area. A first floor bedroom can be found on this level which is currently being utilized as an office and is complete with a private, full bath and spacious closet. Upstairs on the second floor, you are greeted by a main bedroom highlighting an enormous walk-in closet, a full hall bath and 2 sizeable bedrooms; one that connects to a bonus/sunroom perfect for a family recreational room. The 3rd floor, walk-up attic offers limitless possibilities and currently showcases a private library/study but can easily be transformed into an art studio or even a fitness space. Outside in the backyard, you will find a covered, raised patio, flagstone courtyard, stone walls and Mercer tile accented water fountains surrounded by flower beds and greenery. Additional amenities include an upper level cedar closet, refinished hardwood floors throughout and a 2-car detached cupola accented garage with bonus driveway parking which can be closed off with its beautiful scroll designed wrought iron gate. Bright and functional with scenic town views from every room, this haven offers classic style while enjoying the highly desired downtown lifestyle.
