    What's special

    This lovely colonial, circa 1750, sits on a gentle bend at the edge of Newtown Borough. Solidly built and carefully maintained, this home has seen a fabulous transformation at the hands of master craftsman, Scott Lesser. Stunning country kitchen with farm sink in the island - with granite counter. The rest of the counters in the kitchen are Pennsylvania soapstone. Newly installed southern pine flooring, custom cabinetry with inset doors and soft close drawers, exposed stone walls, double ovens, Bosch gas cooktop with custom hood,upgraded "wavy" subway tiles on backsplash. Walls were opened to the family room which features new flooring and a large fireplace (non-working). The side entry of the home was reconfigured to allow for a larger powder room and additional space was created for a stackable washer and dryer - located now tucked away off of the side entry hallway. A delightful sunporch is located off of the kitchen/family room, providing serene views of the rear yard. The formal living room features custom built ins as well as a working fireplace - recently restored. The formal dining room is bright and cheery - all rooms on the first and second floors have been recently painted. The second floor has a delightful landing with built-ins - perfect reading nook. The master suite is located at the rear of the house - a more recent addition - featuring custom wainscoting, built-ins, a walk-in closet as well as a remodeled bath featuring a claw-foot soaking tub, new flooring, pedestal sink and newer shower. The hall bath has been completely remodeled with shower with insets for sundry items, seamless door and custom tilework. There are two additional bedrooms on this level, one of which features a restored wood-burning fireplace as well as extensive wainscoting. The third floor features the original flooring, two addtional bedrooms and a full bath. A true gem in Newtown Borough - a lifestyle home in a idyllic historic town. Walk to restaurants, parks and shopping. Easy access to public transportation - SEPTA station within 5 miles, and easy access to PA Turnpike and 95 - close to Princeton, Philadelphia and NYC for commuting.
