About 115 E Washington Ave
Timeless Elegance Meets Everyday Living in This 1837 Georgian Masterpiece in Newtown Boro Step into history with this remarkable, fully restored historic home, originally built in the 1830s by Joseph Archambault, a French Napoleonic War veteran and one of Newtown's most fascinating figures. Archambault played a pivotal role during the American Civil War, where he mustered a cavalry and attained the rank of Major. Nestled in the heart of Newtown Borough, this stunning 5-bedroom residence offers a rare blend of timeless elegance, meticulous craftsmanship, and modern luxury. From the moment you arrive, the classic curb appeal and commanding brick exterior hint at the home’s rich heritage. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, five fireplaces, and original wide-plank pine floors speak to the craftsmanship of the 19th century, while generous proportions and updated features make the space truly livable for today’s needs. The layout is both traditional and functional, beginning with a formal living room and an elegant dining room that invite you to entertain in style. Each space showcases original millwork, fireplace surrounds, and period details that whisper stories of generations past. The sunroom—bright and inviting—is perfect for morning coffee or quiet reading. The heart of the home is the spacious eat-in kitchen, where character meets convenience. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and charm, while stainless steel appliances, upgraded countertops, and a center island provide everything a modern cook needs. Whether hosting a gathering or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this space blends function and ambiance seamlessly. On the next two levels, you'll find five generously sized bedrooms and a thoughtful layout that balances privacy and accessibility. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, featuring an en suite bathroom with double vanities, a makeup station, double closets, and custom built-in dressers. The second floor also includes a convenient laundry area—rare for a home of this vintage. Outside, the fenced yard is a private oasis. Mature landscaping and a garden shed enhance the space, offering both convenience and utility. One of the property’s most unique features is the two-story carriage house, once a horse barn, now brimming with potential. With a stunning copper roof, full crawl space, and exterior bulkhead, it’s ideal for a workshop, studio, or future guest quarters. The carriage house has it's own electric, sewer and gas hookup. Zoning council approval was previously obtained to make the carriage house a single family home, which could produce excellent rental income. Zoning council approval would need to be obtained by new owners, however. The carriage house and shed are connected by a breezeway, which was previously a one car garage and could easily be converted back to such, if a new homeowner would need. Additional features include a full basement with ample storage, original details throughout, and architectural elements that have stood the test of time. Every room has been lovingly maintained, with careful attention to preserving the home’s legacy while allowing for today’s lifestyle. Custom window treatments, 19th-century light fixtures, and restored hardware enhance the home’s elegance. Best of all, this exceptional property is located just steps from the best of Newtown Boro—award-winning restaurants, charming boutiques, cultural attractions, and community events are all at your doorstep. Situated in the highly acclaimed Council Rock School District, this home offers not just a residence, but a rare opportunity to become a steward of local history. Whether you’re a lover of architecture, a preservationist at heart, or simply someone seeking a home with soul, this 1837 Georgian treasure is unlike anything else on the market. Schedule your private showing today and experience the magic of Newtown Boro living.
