Enjoy the privacy and comfort of a single-family home for the price of a townhouse! Surrounded by farmland and situated far from the road on nearly an acre of land, this beautiful bungalow is move-in ready. In recent years, the living/dining area, kitchen & full bathroom were completely renovated. Also, a mudroom, laundry, half bath with pocket door, deck & sitting porch were added. This home feels like new construction without the high price tag and taxes. 2023 annual property taxes are only $2,076—hundreds of dollars lower per month than the overwhelming majority of properties in this price range. A charming covered front porch, complete with recessed lighting, greets guests and provides an unobstructed view of the historic Moravian Pottery and Tile Works Museum. Inside, the open concept living and dining area is enhanced by a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and gleaming hardwood floors that extend into both of the well-appointed bedrooms. The primary bedroom is over 200 sq/ft and can easily accommodate a designated office space, if needed, or sitting area. Mercer tiles adorn the shower in the recently expanded full bathroom. Large ceramic floor tiles in the full bathroom continue in the kitchen, mudroom, laundry area and half bath, contributing to this home’s cohesive and calming design aesthetic. An abundance of natural light fills the wide galley kitchen, which is enhanced by quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Just beyond the kitchen, the mudroom is the perfect spot for adding additional storage elements, if desired. A French exterior door leads to the recently installed, low-maintenance, composite deck that overlooks the rear grounds. The paver walkway off the large driveway leads to a 3rd exterior door for convenient access into the living room. Don’t miss all the additional storage capacity in the basement--accessed through Bilco doors on the side of the home. Heating system, A/C, roof & hot water heater have all been recently replaced within 2-3 years. The seller has completed $35,000+ in upgrades during their ownership including the installation of custom blinds; installation of a UV filtration system & water softener; interior and exterior painting; and a complete overhaul of the grounds—removing several dead trees; creating all new flower beds around the perimeter; adding 2 new beds at base of driveway; planting 16 Green Giant Arborvitaes along hedgerow and much more. Conveniently located with easy access to Rte. 202, Rte. 263, the R5 Septa Line and just a short walk to shopping, dining, nightlife and community events in Doylestown Borough!
