Nestled along one of Doylestown Borough’s most coveted streets, this distinguished residence occupies one of the most desirable lots in town, offering 2,747 square feet of meticulously curated living space across three levels. Originally built in 1875, this 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath brick manor has been exquisitely restored, including a full masonry repointing that showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A canopy of mature trees provides natural privacy as you approach the new walkway leading to the enclosed, all-season front porch—an inviting prelude to the sophistication found within. Inside, the foyer opens to expansive entertaining spaces adorned with newly installed wide-plank hardwood flooring, 9-foot ceilings, recessed lighting, and thoughtful architectural details throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a sunlit sanctuary featuring custom hardwood cabinetry, quartz countertops, a neutral tile backsplash, and premium appliances, including a Bosch gas range. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the living room, where natural light streams through antique glass windows, preserving the home’s historic character while embracing contemporary comfort. Celebrate special occasions in the elegant formal dining room, enriched by a charming bay window. At the rear of the main level, enjoy morning coffee on the intimate back porch overlooking the gardens. A stylish powder room and convenient laundry room complete this floor.

Ascend the original staircase to the tranquil primary suite, featuring a generous walk-in closet and a spa-like en suite bathroom with tiled stall shower and dual vanity. Wide plank hardwood floors extend through the second bedroom, which also offers an en suite bathroom.
