A small stretch out from city limits sits Warrington township, the self-proclaimed “Gateway to Bucks County Since 1734.” From a real estate standpoint, this Philadelphia suburb has been on the rise over the past few years – and it’s expected to continue to grow. It’s understandable, too, because for families looking to leave city yet still be in commutable distance of it, Bucks County is a popular and highly desirable place to call home.

Median home values in Warrington ring in around $378,400. So, if your budget is just beyond this and falls somewhere around the $500,000 mark, you’re in luck: there are several options that should easily satisfy your tastes. Want to see them for yourself? Read on. We’ve listed our top three below.

This home proves that cathedral ceilings can truly open up any space – even one that has only one floor. The family room features a stone gas fireplace and recessed lighting. Adjoining this room are the dining and living rooms. The kitchen, which features stainless steel appliances, an oversized pantry, and a breakfast bar, is illuminated with natural light from newer windows. Head out the french door onto a decently sized wooden deck overlooking the fenced in backyard. The master suite features wood floors, vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a nice master bath. There are two additional bedrooms and another updated bathroom. You may not find an upstairs level here, but you will find a massive basement. If you can embrace a single-floor lifestyle, you should really check this place out.

In an era when builders play fast and loose with architectural details, this brand-new Colonial gets them right. And you can christen this home as its first occupant. The details are true to the style, from the wainscoting in the foyer to the crown moldings in the dining room, but the layout is totally modern, with a free-flowing floor plan incorporating the living room, kitchen and family room with its working fireplace. The living room, dining room and kitchen have hardwood floors that sparkle, and you’ll find plush carpeting everywhere else. The spacious master bedroom includes a large walk-in closet and an equally large walk-in shower in the master bath, and there’s a large deck in back for outdoor fun and relaxation as well.

This home’s price was reduced by $20,000 on March 10.
