    Welcome to this thoughtfully updated single-family home in Upper Makefield Township, Bucks County. With 1.5 acres and backing to 68 acres of preserved farmland, this property offers long-range rear-deck views and a quiet setting with convenient access to Newtown, Washington Crossing, New Hope, major commuter routes, Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York. Located in the Council Rock S D and benefiting from low taxes, this home combines a country feel with everyday convenience. The main level features an open floor plan with 9-foot ceilings, all-new Andersen windows, new Andersen bay window in the great room, as well as new 6-panel interior doors with brushed nickel wave knobs and freshly painted interiors. Luxury vinyl plank flooring and original hardwoods (scheduled to be refinished) create a cohesive flow. A freshly painted front door with new Pella storm door opens to a large foyer leading to a 19-by-24-foot living/great room with coat closet and the adjacent dining room is suitable for both daily use and larger gatherings. The updated eat-in kitchen includes new flooring, countertops, cabinetry, range, mounted microwave, deep stainless-steel sink, oversized faucet and dishwasher. A new 15-panel Masonite steel/glass door opens to the newly rebuilt 16-by-14 rear deck, extending the living space outdoors and capturing views of the preserved land. A nearby laundry room with newer washer and dryer adds convenience on the main level. The main level also offers flexible living options with two bedrooms plus a flex room, all with new carpeting, and a full bath featuring a new Kohler oversized tub/shower combination with brushed-nickel fixtures, new toilet, custom-built vanity and medicine cabinet. A four-season room with new French doors to the kitchen includes a ceiling fan, six new windows and a new Andersen sliding door to the deck, creating an inviting space for relaxation, casual dining or observing the beautiful views and abundant wildlife. Upstairs, the primary bedroom and an additional bedroom, both with new 6-panel doors and closet doors, new carpeting and a ceiling fan in the primary, share a three-piece bath with shower stall, new flooring, new pedestal sink, new toilet and updated fixtures. Recessed LED lighting is found throughout the home, providing consistent, efficient illumination. The basement, accessible from the interior or via exterior Bilco doors, houses the mechanical systems, including a newer Biasi B series boiler with a 40-yr warranty. The basement has been waterproofed and includes a new foundation drain leading to a new sump pit w/ new sump pump. Additional updates include a new well pump and pressure/holding tank. The home offers updated 220-amp electric service with a new meter and a 220 subpanel in the garage. The roof with 30-year warranty, is approximately 13 yrs old. A large detached two-car garage w/ new Pella windows provides generous vehicle and overhead storage, along with ample driveway parking. The garage includes a new subpanel with a 220 plug, suitable for an air compressor, welder or other electrical or mechanical projects. To the rear of the main level is a 10-by-19 finished room featuring new Pella windows, new door, drywall, paint, insulation, electric and LED lights, making this bright space perfect for a home gym, studio, office or workshop. The garage and main-level studio both feature new Masonite steel doors for added security. Above, a 12-by-19 upper-level studio is attached to the rear of the garage and overlooks the backyard. This space also offers new windows, drywall, paint, electric and LED lighting, providing a second separate area for work or creative pursuits. Seller will include approved second-floor addition building plans with the purchase, offering future expansion potential.
