Property Description
HERE IT IS - the Reason Everybody Wants to Live in the Borough! This highly recognizable home stands out as a distinctive Colonial Revival architecture synonymous with this charming town. Built on the corner of E State St and E Oakland Ave in 1877 for the town tailor, Peter Stommel, this home remained in the same family for over 50 years. Materials authentic to the times were used whenever possible to update and preserve this historic homes integrity, including a replacement slate roof on the main house and copper roof on the front porch. The exterior was stripped down to the brick and scored stucco applied to resemble limestone. Follow Bluestone walkways between covered porches on both the front (facing E State Street) and side (facing E Oakland Avenue) of the home, ultimately flowing into the multi-tiered Bluestone patio with steps to access the kitchen for easy outdoor entertaining. Upon entering the front door, 9 ceilings and original random width pine floors continue from the living room with a gas fireplace, into the spacious dining room featuring a decorative fireplace with Pennsylvania Blue Marble mantel. French doors from either room lead into the open layout of the kitchen and family room addition. Warm, radiant heat rises from the reclaimed heart-pine floors milled by JC Woodworking , and surround sound speakers in the family room provide an entertaining experience on movie night. A wet bar with copper sink and beverage cooler tucks away behind foldable doors. The powder room is conveniently located around the corner. Design elements and finishes are masterfully combined within the kitchen, from Superior Woodcraft cabinets adorned with 1800s Bennington porcelain knobs and brass drawer pulls, to the honed and leathered quartzite counters with matching backsplash, 130 year old Cherry accent bar, and antique farmhouse sink with raw brass faucet and spray. High-end appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf 6-burner commercial range with hood and Mercer tile mosaic, and Bosch dishwasher. Upstairs, the second floor features two generously-sized bedrooms lined with windows stretching almost the full height of the 9 ceilings. The full bathroom was tastefully remodeled with radiant heated floors, towel warmers, quartz vanity with double sinks and a stall shower. The laundry room is tucked down the hall, where a back staircase leads down to the kitchen. Another flight of stairs reveals a finished attic with the third bedroom and additional storage room. Thoughtful updates were made in keeping with early aesthetics. Wi-Fi smart thermostats and 6 temperature zones allow controls for efficient gas heat and high velocity central air conditioning. Inclement weather is not a problem with provisions for a standby generator installed with new electrical panel. Durable epoxy floors and plenty of storage may be found on the lower level with built-in Moduline organizational cabinets, plus an additional room for mechanicals. Epoxy floors continue into the oversized 2-car garage, opening onto the driveway adjacent to E Oakland Ave. A double-sized utility sink and hot/cold mixers on the water spigot make projects and clean-up a breeze! An antique streetlight illuminates the side walkway and entrance to the covered porch that overlooks Burpee Park. A custom built gardening shed with electric stores outdoor furniture and equipment, and a cedar fence with copper top accents provides peaceful surroundings. The well-planned, low-maintenance landscaping with environmentally friendly plantings (no grass!) allows plenty of time to take a five-minute walk to Fanny Chapman Pool. Or stroll a few blocks into Town Center for galleries, restaurants, Farmer's Market, theatre, museums, library and shopping. Nearby public transportation and easy access to major commuter routes. Award-winning Central Bucks School District. Make your appointment today to see why this Borough home is so special!
