A Rare Borough Treasure Offered for the First Time in Over 50 Years!
In the heart of Doylestown Borough, this 1923 Craftsman-style home is a true architectural gem... a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own something truly special. As one of the original Sears Kit Homes, its story began over a century ago when its carefully labeled parts arrived by rail and were assembled with care and craftsmanship on-site. This particular home is the Savoy model, one of Sears’ most beloved bungalow designs, known for its thoughtful proportions, quality materials, and enduring charm. From its origin to today, it has stood as a quiet testament to both American ingenuity and timeless style.
What makes this home so memorable is its perfect blend of modest scale and commanding presence. Large, round, unadorned columns on the front porch give it a subtle grandeur... simple yet strong, lending a sense of permanence rarely found in homes of this size. These bold columns are more than just architectural features; they are defining elements of its identity, setting it apart with quiet confidence.
Inside, the charm deepens. The generous living room, with three sets of elegant double doors opening to the wide front porch, is an inviting space filled with natural light and warm character. Details like corner built-ins, original cabinetry, and a fireplace graced with Mercer Tile celebrate the home's heritage while offering everyday comfort.
Over the years, the home has been wonderfully maintained, with thoughtful updates that preserve its character while enhancing its livability. Among the newer components are the roof, HVAC outdoor condenser, and a re-lined chimney — evidence of the care and stewardship that has kept this home strong and ready for its next chapter.
With three bedrooms and two full baths, including one bedroom conveniently located on the main floor that could serve as your primary, this home surprises with its spaciousness. The two upstairs bedrooms are especially large for a home of this era, offering flexibility and room to grow. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and even a Sub-Zero refrigerator... smart, efficient, and stylish. There is a delightful sunroom just beyond, perfect for morning coffee or afternoon reading.
Set on a lovely lot with alley access from Long Lane, the garage is tucked neatly beneath the house and complemented by ample driveway parking. Whether you're drawn to its storybook past or inspired by its potential for future memories, this home is a rare offering in one of the Borough’s most beloved neighborhoods.
