A magnificent custom home on more than two professionally landscaped acres in coveted Buckland Farms, perched high above the Delaware Canal with a gorgeous backyard that offers a rare level of privacy and tranquility. Thoughtful architecture creates a sense of openness and space from the moment you enter the grand two-story foyer, with an inviting sitting room with gas fireplace on one side and a formal dining room on the other. Straight ahead, a soaring stone gas fireplace draws you through to the family room, where the home’s classic design comes into focus: beautiful windows, a cathedral ceiling, gleaming hardwood floors, and an elegant wet bar. To the left is a private office or library. To the right, a built-in buffet announces the open-concept kitchen, where the main attraction is its great center island. Topped with a single, three-inch-thick piece of white Calcutta marble, the island not only provides plenty of comfortable seating and under-counter storage, it makes for one incredible food prep area. Completely remodeled in 2017, the kitchen also features countertops of leathered black granite and heavy, custom millwork. The refrigerator, freezer and gas range are by Thermador; the oven, microwave and dishwasher are all Bosch. There is ample storage space in two walk-in pantries. Beyond the kitchen is a spacious laundry/mudroom with white quartz countertops, additional custom cabinetry, a GE front-loading washer/dryer duo, and easy access to the 3-car garage. Upstairs you’ll find the spacious principal suite, which includes a sitting area and two large walk-in closets. The beautifully renovated principal bath boasts a glass walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and dual vanities topped with white macaubus quartzite. There are four additional bedrooms on this level: two are divided by a Jack-and-Jill bath while the other two share a full hall bath. In the finished lower level, 8 ft ceilings, plenty of windows, and a glass slider to a side yard and patio create a bright and inviting place for a home entertainment center, game room or play area. There’s also another private office/studio space here, along with a separate unfinished area for mechanicals and extra storage. Off the kitchen, a maintenance-free Trex deck and hot tub make for the perfect spot for entertaining friends and family. The private backyard is a nature-lover’s paradise, with endless opportunities for bird-watching. This unique property extends to the canal, offering beautiful year-round views of the canal towpath and the open, natural space beyond. Just minutes to New Hope or Newtown, PA, with fine dining, shopping and numerous state parks, and an easy commute to Princeton, Philadelphia and New York City.
