THIS HOME HAS THE LOCATION and MUCH MORE! , and exactly what Bucks County Buyers are seeking ! It is spacious and Immaculate! Whether you seek a serene country setting with an easy commute to Lahaska, New Hope, or Doylestown and nearby tourist destinations or a peaceful, home station as you watch the deer stop by in the spacious back yard lined with a pastoral tree line, it's the perfect blend of village and country. So Welcome to 4958 Edgewood Rd ! : a pristine and beautiful home just outside the quaint village of Historic Mechanicsville ;the heart of Central Bucks County. This home is lovingly cared for and it shows! The views outside from the inviting front porch or the rear poured concrete patio are both great places to enjoy the quiet setting for a summer beverage or a friendly cookout. In addition CBE school levels, CBE High School, Holicong Middle, and Cold Spring Elementary and their tennis and track amenities are just a bike ride away! This home has a side entrance to enter and exit from the mud room for those sometimes cumbersome groceries on a rainy day. Plenty of extra storage is accessible for lawn gear in a pretty backyard shed that has a picturesque sitting bench and small patio surrounded by perennials- a quiet retreat! Exiting to the back yard you will relax on a design stamped cement patio. And that's just the exterior landscape! Inside, you will view a beautiful custom cherry cabinet kitchen with plenty of recessed lighting, 3" quartz
counter tops, a designer backsplash, and a practical breakfast bar, all newer stainless steel appliances are included and all this overlooks an open concept casual kitchen nook with plenty of light and charm from a bench seat large box/bay window. In fact, all the windows are big, bright and new throughout the home! This open concept kitchen area looks out to a gorgeous beamed family room with an expansive Stone Wall Fireplace, which includes a wood pellet stove for additional warmth on those chilly winter months; a crowd pleaser for parties or just a small group. Enter this home from the charming porch to the flagstone Foyer, where on one side is the Dining room on the right and a large Living room with faux fireplace to the left. This home is a Classic center-hall Colonial, with an open view from cheerful kitchen, warm family room leading to the 3-season Florida room. Also notice the chair railing and double crown moldings in both L/R and D/R rooms which are custom crafted. The BRIGHT and airy Florida Room off the family room is wrapped with brand new large windows and a ceiling fan. This addition adds a nice touch for entertaining guests. The entire house has recently installed Marvin windows (replaced recently) in each room. The ENTIRE home also has hardwood flooring, with exception of the Foyer which has inviting flagstone slate floor and a spacious coat closet. In fact, most rooms have generous closets; walk ins and other, particularly in the bedrooms( spacious by today's standards, even in new construction) The basement is clean as a whistle, and has plenty of storage and a workshop. It also includes a faux fireplace with an electric heater. The double garage is in exceptional condition and freshly painted with additional off road parking for 4/5 vehicles. All of the rooms are freshly painted ready for the next buyer to personalize. Central Air throughout this lovely 4 bedroom, 2/1 bathroom home with a garden setting is private yet has a nice countryside feel that is a treat for the eyes. Did I mention that the hall bathroom has radiant heat flooring! Too many other details to mention. Please schedule an appointed today, it won't last in this market! It is a dream property and pristine ready!
