Property Description
Rich in history, architectural character, and thoughtful modern enhancements, this extraordinary converted barn offers a rare opportunity to experience a distinctive country residence in the New Hope countryside. With six bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, and a blend of rustic authenticity and sophisticated design, the home offers a versatile lifestyle. A spectacular vantage point provides views of the iconic Bowman's Hill Tower and the surrounding Bucks County landscape.
The home's welcoming entrance with a custom designed Paramount Wood Co. door opens to interiors that celebrate its barn heritage while embracing contemporary comfort. Wide-plank pine hardwood floors, distinctive architectural details, and inviting living spaces create warmth and character throughout. The formal living room features a fireplace and sliding doors opening to an expansive Ipe wood deck, where views toward Bowman's Hill Tower provide a backdrop for outdoor entertaining and peaceful evenings.
The beautifully designed chef's kitchen, created with Sweetbriar Interior Design, features soapstone countertops, a substantial center island, Wolf and Subzero appliances and formal and casual dining options.
Designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles, the residence includes a first-floor bedroom and full bath, complemented by an additional half bath. A formal living room, library, and a family room with projector, blackout shades, and surround sound provide spaces for relaxation, recreation, and entertaining. At the far end of the home, a separate artist studio and game room enclosed behind double doors offers a setting for artistic pursuits, creative work, or a private retreat.
The second floor offers a thoughtfully arranged bedroom layout. To one side are four additional bedrooms served by a full hall bath. To the other, the primary suite provides a private sanctuary with a comfortable sitting area, generous walk-in closet, expansive windows framing beautiful views, and a spacious bath featuring a steam shower. The finished lower level adds versatility, with a gym and office space featuring a separate exterior entrance. Additional basement workshop space and half bath.
Significant improvements enhance the home's comfort and functionality. Updates include a brand-new six-bedroom septic system installed in 2019, roof replacement in 2016, new windows in 2019, a new boiler in 2018, a new kitchen, new Ipe decking in 2021, Hardie board siding, air-conditioning improvements in 2023 and 2025, a new gravel driveway and front door in 2025, a four-panel security system, and refinished hardwood floors in 2026. Additional improvements include steel railings, new iron handrails, and a reverse-osmosis water system that services the kitchen.
Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds, a welcoming fountain at the front of the home, and the expansive deck create an inviting setting. The property offers convenient access to the Delaware Canal towpath, the Delaware River, and the historic attractions and natural beauty of the surrounding area.
Just minutes from the restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and cultural attractions of New Hope and Lambertville, this distinctive property combines country living with access to the region's celebrated river towns. Approximately 45 miles from Philadelphia and 55 miles from Newark Liberty International Airport, it offers access to major Northeast destinations. Trenton is approximately 20 miles away.
