Property Description
Built in 1898 by Oscar Martin, this beautifully updated Victorian home brings together the architectural character of another era and the comforts of modern living, right in the heart of Doylestown Borough. From the moment you arrive, the gorgeous front porch sets the tone. Inside, original details, exposed brick, rich hardwood floors, and oversized windows give the home a warmth and personality that are hard to replicate. The main level has a wonderful flow, with a welcoming family room opening to the living room, where an exposed brick fireplace and oversized bow window create a natural gathering place. The living room also offers a second entrance to the home. Just beyond, the kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a six-burner range, statement range hood, pendant lighting, and a generous island with seating. Exposed brick adds character to this fresh, inviting space, while the adjoining dining area offers a comfortable spot for everyday meals and dinner with friends. A convenient powder room and a spacious laundry room with built-in cabinetry, windows, and tile flooring complete this level. Upstairs, three bright and generously sized bedrooms offer hardwood floors, lovely natural light, and plenty of room to settle in. A full hall bathroom features a stall shower, vanity, and window. Continue to the upper level to discover the primary suite, a private retreat with its own fireplace, exposed brick, ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom with dual sinks and a stall shower. An additional flexible room on this floor, with distinctive sloped ceilings, is currently used as a workout space and could accommodate a variety of needs. The fully finished basement adds another substantial living area, with hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and plenty of room for a media room, recreation space, hobbies, or entertaining. A walkout provides direct access to the backyard. Outside, the rear yard is lush and inviting, with mature greenery, established perennial plantings, a beautiful patio, and room to enjoy the outdoors. A driveway and detached three-car garage provide valuable parking and storage options. All of this is just a short walk from the restaurants, shops, museums, parks, and everyday conveniences that make Doylestown Borough such a wonderful place to call home. Thoughtfully updated while retaining its distinctive Victorian character, this Oscar Martin home offers space, history, and a location that is difficult to beat.
