Property Description
These homeowners have enjoyed EVERY moment of re-designing the inside and outside of this historic home and property and it shows...picture yourself here! 131 E. Oakland Avenue is the oldest brick home in town and located in the Historic District of the Borough of Doylestown. Random width pine floors guide you from gorgeous room to gorgeous room! The formal Living Room offers 9' ceilings, crown molding, gas fireplace with stunning faux finished wood mantle and granite surround. Spacious Dining Room offers pine flooring, fireplace (chimney currently capped at top), custom cherry cabinetry and paneling and entry to charming side porch, one of the gateways to the stunning gardens. The side porch has 4 removable glass panels that are typically installed in the winter for cool weather enjoyment of this inviting space! Note the antique hand-dug, stone-lined well in the floor of the side porch (well not in use). The gourmet Kitchen offers Italian porcelain flooring with radiant heat, both granite and stainless steel countertops, Island, Miele steamer wall oven and Miele convection combination wall oven, Viking stove top with griddle and grill, Miele exhaust hood, under cabinet lighting and some other wonderful surprises! French doors from the Kitchen lead you to the stunning rear yard with antique grinding stone walkway, ornamental iron gate, brick Mercer-style garden wall, perennial gardens, tiered stone patio made from old stone from Doylestown sidewalks (yes, indeed that is true!) And be sure to take a close look at the koi pond as it was made from reclaimed curbing from antique window "eyebrows." Walkway leads you to the detached heated garage and parking space for 1 car. Back inside and off the Kitchen is a pantry area with wine fridge, storage and granite counter top and access to the charming Powder Room with radiant heat flooring, mounted Italian sink vessel on under-sea mined Brazilian granite! On the second floor you will find 2 en-suite Bedrooms and Laundry Room. Primary Bedroom offers vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet with custom storage system that will wow you and lovely primary bath with vaulted ceiling, French limestone flooring, granite topped vanity with raised Villeroy and Boch sink and over-sized tile shower! Through the pocket door you will find Bedroom 2, currently staged as a Den, with random width pine flooring, fireplace with granite surround, wainscoting. The full Bath has polished stone floor and shower and demilune-style vanity with marble countertop. Travel up the turned staircase to the fabulous and sunny Studio/Office space with built-in bookcases and cabinetry, hardwood floors. The sun floods this space from windows on three sides! In the Basement you will find built-in bookshelves, storage space AND a temperature-controlled Wine Cellar!
This home underwent a complete renovation in 2008-2009, carefully and creatively designed by Doylestown's, Ellen Happ! The addition included adding the Kitchen on main level and Primary Suite area on second floor, new baths, new plumbing, updated electric and gas service, gas fireplace, heating, new liners in 2 chimneys, etc. There is a sound system with built-in speakers in the Living Room, Dining Room and Bedroom 2.
Remember...YOU are buying MORE than a home, YOU are buying a LIFESTYLE...the Borough Lifestyle!
