182 SHORT RD Doylestown, PA 18901

If you are looking for a property with substance and character but also immaculate, move in ready and updated, this is the home for you. Just a quick drive to Doylestown Borough this beautifully crafted Luther Nash home is a work of art. The 1.20 acre lot is partially wooded creating a softly shaded natural sanctuary. Sitting on the rear travertine deck, surrounded by easy maintenance woodland landscaping of specimen azaleas, ferns and rhododendrons and listening to the birdsong and the babbling of the water feature, it's easy to forget that you are just a few minutes from major routes or public transport to get you into the city. Nestled off a quiet road, in a lovely community, the primarily brick exterior is charming with a both a covered porch entry and a more formal front door leading into the beautiful foyer with brick flooring. Flanked by the formal dining room and gorgeous living room with exposed beams, hardwood floors, wainscoting and the first of four fireplaces are the details here. The sunroom off the living room will be a favorite with brick floors, walls of windows, skylights and stunning stained glass that picks up the evening sunset and translates it into a mosaic of gleaming jewel tones to decorate the room. The kitchen is the charming heart of the home with a second "colonial" fireplace which has seen many a meal cooked inside. Four burner Wolf stove, furniture center island, granite counter tops, copper backsplash, Dutch door to the yard and harlequin tile hearth are just a few of the features. The dining room has the same hardwood flooring and exposed beams found throughout the home as well as a built in corner cabinet and sparkling vintage chandelier. The large sunny family room has the third fireplace, bay window and a sweet study with built in bookcases. The highly insulated studio addition, great for multiple uses, features vaulted ceiling, skylights with solar remote controlled room darkening blinds, tiger wood hard plank flooring, exposed beams and a separate HVAC system. A laundry room, mudroom, butler pantry and powder room with hammered copper sink completes this floor.
