Welcome to 580 Almshouse Road, an historic stone house and cottage located in the Castle Valley region of Doylestown Township. This early four bedroom home includes eleven acres of open meadows, woodlands, and borders the Neshaminy Creek. A beautiful stone exterior and front door welcome you inside, where you will find classic historic details such as vintage hardware, recessed windowsills, and hardwood floors. A lovely flagstone foyer leads to the eat-in kitchen, which boasts an abundance of cherry cabinetry, a Viking stainless steel stove, a center island, and fireplace. Continue into the bright dining room, with gorgeous oak floors. The gathering room filled with natural light features exposed stone, a wall of wonderful built-ins, recessed lighting, windows framing views of the pond, and French doors that lead out to the covered porch. Then step into the living room, which is bright and inviting. A convenient space that could be used as an office or sunroom with recessed lighting and access to the yard completes the main level, along with a half bath. Upstairs on the second level the main bedroom features an en suite bath, pointed stone detailing in the doorway, and abundant closet space. This second level has two additional spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full hall bath. The third level is complete with a spacious and bright bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, and a sitting room. Outside, enjoy scenic views from the porch, including the pond, open acres, and the Neshaminy Creek. Just steps away is a sweet detached 1 bedroom cottage, perfect for friends, family, or an in-law suite. Additional conveniences include a newer roof, circular drive and phenomenal location. Private, yet close to New Britain Train Station and Doylestown Boro, and just down the hill from the picturesque farms of Delaware Valley University. Central Bucks School District.
