OPEN HOUSES ON SATURDAY, JUNE 13 & SUNDAY, JUNE 14 BOTH DAYS 1 -4 P.M.
Nestled on a beautifully landscaped 1.26-acre corner lot in the coveted Pebble Hill neighborhood, this stately residence, affectionately known as Pebble Hill Manor, was built in 1938 and is located just minutes from the heart of Doylestown Boro. Reminiscent of a classic manor house, the home blends timeless architectural character with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful updates by its current owner, a retired custom home builder. Renowned Architect Oscar Martin contributed to some design elements of the original home.
A gracious center hall entry opens to an oversized foyer and warm, inviting living spaces. The formal living room features hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and a corner wood-burning fireplace. Nearby, a handsome home office/den showcases a fireplace with genuine Moravian tile and custom millwork, with a convenient side entry ideal for those who occasionally meet with clients.
The formal dining room is generously sized and filled with natural light from two large windows. Opposite is the efficient U-shaped kitchen offering cherry cabinetry, black granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a practical layout. A passthrough connects to the stunning rear family room addition featuring deep windowsills, custom cabinetry, a striking stone fireplace, and a charming window seat. An informal dining area near the kitchen opens to a screened patio—perfect for summer evenings.
Beyond the family room is a mudroom with exterior access, a separate laundry room, and entry to the oversized three-car garage with a second-level storage or workshop area. The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors, ample closets, and two full baths, including a Jack & Jill bath between the front bedrooms. A staircase leads to the third floor, which features two additional large rooms, a full bath, and abundant storage.
A partial basement houses the utilities and provides additional storage. Oil-fired hot water heat warms the home through original radiators, with cast-iron baseboards in the addition, while central air conditioning ensures summer comfort. Generac generator provided in case of power outage.
Outdoors, the landscaped grounds feature seasonal plantings, mature trees, a bluestone walkway to the front entrance, and an expansive bluestone patio ideal for entertaining. A backyard shed with a newer cedar shake roof provides garden storage, while a semi-circular driveway from Pebble Hill Road to Christopher Lane offers abundant parking and an elegant approach.
A brand new traditional in the ground septic system (for a 6 bedroom residence) has been approved and will soon be installed.
