If your dream home is a place where top-notch restaurants, deep history, natural beauty, and a welcoming community are as close as the doorstep, this one-of-a-kind New Hope residence might be just the thing.

The three-bed, three-bath, 2,300 square foot house sits near the historic towpath trail and near the Aquetong Creek.

Its structure shows a long-term ability to weather storms, but her sturdy bones don’t mean puritan living. This early period house has gone through a recent, extensive, and meticulous renovation by the current stewards, preserving its history while providing modern updates to plumbing, electric, and fixtures.

Although the buzz of New Hope is close by, the gated walkway and rich protection of trees act as sound barriers and provide privacy.

Custom, built-in bookshelves and wainscoting compliment the large living room and sitting areas.

The brand new, state-of-the-art eat-in kitchen has multihued slate floors and stone arches.

Dining room couldn’t be more convenient — or impressive. The preserved hearth makes a stunning frame around a holiday table brimming with food and guests. But the nearby wood-burning stove ensures a cozy atmosphere.

The master bedroom is an elegant blend of light-welcoming windows, brick walls, and a beamed ceiling.

The master bath and closet are respectively plush and roomy, but they both retain hints of the property’s 19th Century past.

Spaciousness and comfort are the hallmarks of the other two bedrooms. The third-floor quarters has a loft ceiling that brings a grand sense of airiness to the space.

Back downstairs, walls of glass offer direct access to the three-tiered patios, perfect for al fresco dining and enjoying the hot tub. These patios present a tranquil ambiance and capture the rear vistas of the long lawn and views of the Aquetong Creek.
