Experience luxury living in this stunning architectural masterpiece that blends 19th century Victorian historic charm with today's modern elements. Located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Doylestown Borough, this Ralph C Fey AIA design features 4,196 sq ft of sophisticated spaces across three light-filled levels. This 5 bedroom, 4.1 bathroom home is the talk of the town. The front porch will be opened up and restored to its original configuration, shaded by mature trees. Inside the grand foyer, new hardwood floors will extend throughout entertaining areas with 9' ceilings, recessed lighting, and thoughtful customization. A switchback stairwell with contemporary balusters leads to both the upstairs and the lower level. The spectacular great room addition features 10' ceilings, an optional gas fireplace, and walls of windows with panoramic views of gardens. The adjacent gourmet kitchen is comprised of stainless steel appliances, expansive quartz counters, tile backsplash, sleek dovetailed cabinetry, and views of the quaint residential street. Across from the oversized island, an open dining area boasts glass doors that open to one of two outdoor terraces for hosting intimate gatherings or savoring a nightcap beneath the wooden pergolas. Off the kitchen is a butler's pantry, for catering and storage needs, that connects with an elegant formal dining room with a charming bay window. An impressive mud room with closets and built-ins serves as the casual entrance, connected by pavers to the two-car garage. Ascend the optional elevator to the second floor. The primary en suite bedroom is the intersection of tranquility and style, with its exposed brick, vaulted ceilings, and dormer windows. Pamper yourself in the spa-like bathroom with dual vanity, generously sized walk-in shower, and soaking tub, plus a well-appointed walk-in dressing room. Two additional bedrooms feature privacy and comfort, each with spacious closets and their own designated bathrooms. The convenient laundry room rounds out the second floor. The third floor features two additional bedrooms, an open reading nook, as well as the home's fourth full bathroom, all with sweeping views of sunrise and sunset over Doylestown’s rolling hills. The tasteful lower level is wide open with the option to expand into a daylight living area, well-suited for entertainment and relaxation. Invite your neighbors over for croquet or badminton at your lush 0.37 acre corner lot. Install a backyard cocktail pool to cool off after walking to Doylestown's festivals, farm markets, and block parties. Recent improvements to the existing structure include natural gas connection, new energy-saving heating and central air conditioning, 75 gallon water heater, new 250 amp electrical panel, new plumbing, and more. James Hardie lap siding will integrate with existing historic brick, creating one of the most aesthetic properties in town. Enjoy the fine craftsmanship of Irwin Build with plans for the addition already approved by Historic Architecture Review Board. The William Vaux House at 132 West Oakland Avenue is beckoning you home!
