Imagine owning a piece of local history from the early 20th century when gas vehicles became the new mode of transportation up and down Newtown Pike, and life was simple. Friends and family pulled up to this wonderful Dutch Colonial, known for the last 40 years as the red sleigh' house, at the end of their trip, to enter this Center Hall Colonial home, just across the road from the prestigious George School! The front-to-back foyer features a set-back grand staircase allowing plenty of space to greet guests and the grand parlor welcomes allin to warm their toes in front of the cozy brick fireplace and enjoy a cup of tea! This room offers chestnut color hardwood floors, built-in etageres, and bright natural light from three sides. The current owner added a lovely sunroom, with two sets of vintage French doors, and custom corner built-ins to while away the hours and enjoy the views of this 1.1-ACRE lot and its centralized location! Meals were taken in the traditional dining room, located just off the cook's kitchen, while catching up on local news and happenings of the day. The spacious kitchen, featuring custom built-in cupboards and pantries, allows for prep, serving, and entertaining, or just a simple leisurely breakfast with a view of this expansive lot! A convenient powder room is located off the rear entry foyer to complete the main level. The upper-level landing provides you with a space to stop and take in the landscape before continuing the last few steps to the bedroom level where an obvious owners' bedroom, complete with dressing room and two very generous closets, awaits you at the end of a long day. Two additional bedrooms are situated with perfectly placed windows for long-distance panoramic views of South, East, and West. Hardwoods also grace this level. An original and pristine turn-of-the-century bath with art deco detail, is an integral part of the charm of this home! A surprising walk-up attic offers many possibilities such as dormers with a fourth bedroom or guest suite! A two-car detached garage AND a shed are a part of this huge parcel, suggesting numerous future projects and expansions! Don't miss this incredible opportunity to own a lovely vintage homeonce on the Langhorne Holiday Home Tour being marketed for the first time in 40 years! As the 'keepers' of this home, you can turn the crystal and porcelain doorknobs, appreciate the built-ins, and inhale the charm of the early 20th century and make it your own!
