Welcome to this charming turn-of-the-century single family home nestled on a beautiful peaceful .4 acre lot in the heart of New Britain Borough complete with an in-law apartment over the double car garage adding an additional kitchen, bedroom, private office, 1.5 bathrooms, and laundry area making it perfect for in-laws or guest quarters, art/craft studio, live-in nanny, or secluded home office. Rich in character and warmth, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath main home offers the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and everyday comfort. The spacious front porch welcomes you to relax and enjoy the quiet surroundings, while wide plank pine floors add warmth and historic charm throughout much of the main level. The generously sized living room provides plenty of space for gathering with family and friends, and offers a cozy nook that's perfect for office or library space and is connected to the dining area. Designed for the convenience of first-floor living, the current owners have thoughtfully repurposed the family room into a spacious primary bedroom featuring a cozy propane fireplace and barn doors for privacy. The kitchen offers ample cabinetry, ceramic tile countertops, and picturesque views of the beautiful backyard. A full bath with convenient laundry area completes the main level. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, a full hall bath with direct access from the hall and one bedroom, and a finished walk-up attic offering versatile space for storage, or a playroom. Step outside to an expansive paver patio overlooking the picturesque backyard, creating the ideal setting for entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing beneath the shade of mature trees. A truly exceptional feature of this property is the detached garage with a fully equipped one-bedroom accessory dwelling/in-law apartment, built in 1999, featuring an additional 1000+ square feet of living space including a full eat-in kitchen, private office that could be used as an additional bedroom, living room, one-and-a-half baths, and loft bedroom. One of the garage bays is heated and air conditioned, making it an ideal workshop, studio, or hobby space and also houses the laundry hook-up for the apartment. Whether you're seeking multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or additional flexibility, this unique property offers endless possibilities. Buyer is responsible for confirming the permitted use of the accessory dwelling with New Britain Borough. Conveniently located within walking distance of the New Britain SEPTA Regional Rail Station, Wilma Quinlan Nature Preserve, and just minutes from downtown Doylestown's shops, restaurants, parks, and cultural attractions, this one-of-a-kind property combines timeless charm with exceptional versatility and is ready to welcome its next owners.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $16,760, well below the ~$37,800 its asking price implies at Bucks County's common level ratio (5.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $3,707/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($16,760, 1972 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Bucks County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
