Welcome to the Hannah Hibbs home situated on one of the most bucolic streets in the heart of the Newtown Borough Historic District. The original portion of this charming home was built circa 1884, while the additions and renovations over the years make it ideal for today’s lifestyle. The classic arched portico, with original doorbell on the right, invites you to enter the spacious living room with fireplace flanked with classic built-ins. Original oak hardwood floors are carried through to the dining room that flows directly to the recently updated kitchen and breakfast room. Sleek white cabinets, gleaming tile backsplash, Silestone counter, and stainless appliances, including Bosch dishwasher, make this a delightful kitchen in which to create delicious meals. Enjoy morning coffee in the breakfast room, with a stylish and functional beverage hutch, as you delight in the abundant light and rear view. Access the large screened porch with slate floor overlooking the enchanting rear property with meandering stone walkways through gardens of native plantings.
A spacious second story, featuring newer bamboo flooring, includes a sizeable owner’s suite with bow window overlooking the gardens, a comfortable sitting area, and an updated en-suite with handsome oversized shower and convenient double vanity. Two additional nice size bedrooms and modern hall bath are included on this level. The private third floor has two additional bedrooms, one of which was recently a perfect home office, plus a very convenient storage room.
Store your outdoor equipment in the oversized garage that includes a workbench and one of the two outlets on the property for electric car charging. Solar panels installed on the garage roof provide a meaningful contribution to electric service, and with the new Marvin windows in the majority of the home and high efficiency gas boiler this is an economical property to maintain.
Move right in to this meticulously maintained home across from the Chancellor Center and the Brian Gregg Park, and walk to the renowned restaurants, quaint boutiques, and convenient library in the Borough. Enjoy the holiday parades and hometown festivals that are characteristic of small-town America, yet conveniently located to commuter rail lines and highways to Philadelphia, Princeton and New York.
