6 orchard way

Welcome to 6 Orchard Way - this beautiful 1930's estate home was built in a bygone era when elegance, extraordinary materials and craftsmanship, fine appointments and custom millwork were paramount in constructing the finest Yardley homes. Situated on a double 1.09 acre corner lot (sold as one parcel), this home begins with an old-style Bucks County masonry brick exterior, stately columns and a covered front porch ready for rocking chairs and a great book. As you enter the traditional center hall, note the arched doorways, hardwood floors (throughout entire home but basement), plaster walls and beautiful hardwood staircase which differentiate this home from newer "cookie cutter" homes. At the far end find a coat closet and charming remodeled powder room with gray wood-look floor, pedestal sink and new toilet. To the right find a spacious L/R centered around a wood-burning f/p with plenty of room for large gatherings. If you work out of the home, the adjacent office provides quiet privacy, sundrenched windows, custom built-in bookcases and ample room for two desks. To the left of the foyer lies the elegant formal D/R. This welcoming room with gorgeous bay window, wainscoting, chair rail and beautifully constructed built-in corner cupboards beckons you to linger over a warm meal with family or friends. The adjacent kitchen makes entertaining seamless. With ample room for a future center island, this nicely appointed kitchen boasts a sunny garden window overlooking the exterior deck, granite counters, light wood cabinets, recessed lighting, stainless refrig., range with vent hood, microwave, dishwasher, ceiling fan and quaint, roomy pantry for lots of add'l storage. Enjoy outdoor entertaining? A convenient exterior door to the deck makes carrying food in and out easy! A large sunny family room extends from the kitchen. This renovated addition provides great casual space for a media area, kitchen table or other gathering with added large storage closet. Over-sized French doors open to a fantastic screened porch ready for outdoor dining or relaxing with a favorite cup of coffee. This porch can also be accessed from the back yard, wood deck and driveway. The 2nd floor offers a large master B/R with charming window seat, two original closets and an added walk-in with laundry (add'l laundry facilities in basement). Best yet, the newly remodeled spa-style ensuite master bath features a gray wood-look tile floor, free-standing white vanity with marble top, subway tile shower stall with seamless glass door, new lighting and fixtures. Two other large carpeted (with h/w beneath) B/Rs share a sunny remodeled hall bath with wainscoting, tile tub/shower and flooring and pedestal sink. Follow the gleaming h/w stairs to the finished 3rd floor for one additional B/R and full bath. This bedroom provides custom built-in shelves and window seat with storage. The adjacent bath has a stall shower, single wood vanity and quaint palladian window. Looking for more recreation space?
