Historic Elegance in the Heart of Newtown Borough!! Own a remarkable piece of history in one of Bucks County's most sought-after boroughs — just steps from Newtown's vibrant shops, restaurants, and cafés. This stately single-family home pairs late 19th-century character with thoughtful modern updates throughout. A charming front porch leads to a grand open foyer, where restored plaster crown moldings, rich wood baseboards, and soaring 9-foot ceilings set the tone for the entire main level. Gorgeous 5-inch plank hardwood floors flow across all three levels, tying the home together with warmth and craftsmanship rarely found today. The gathering room's wood-burning fireplace anchors the open floor plan — a natural gathering spot for entertaining or quiet evenings in. Upstairs, five generously sized bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The second level adds two more bedrooms plus a well-appointed hall bath, while the third level completes the layout with three additional spacious bedrooms — ideal for a growing family, multigenerational living, or a home-based business. A standout feature for entrepreneurs and professionals: the property is zoned Village Commercial, offering the flexibility to operate a home office or small business right from this address — a rare opportunity to blend residential charm with commercial potential in the heart of Newtown Borough. Location is everything: enjoy easy access to major commuting routes into Philadelphia, Princeton, and New York City, all within the award-winning Council Rock North School District. Historic charm. Modern comfort. An unbeatable Newtown Borough address. This one won't last — contact us today to schedule your private showing.
