Mid-Century Modern, Colonial

Just minutes from the center of New Hope, but with the delightful appeal of a rural retreat, this exquisite home, fully renovated and updated in 2019-2020, combines old stone barn charm and mid century elegance. Its lovely setting on one of Solebury's most picturesque roads offers privacy, beautiful outdoor spaces and stunning long distance views. Enter this gracious home into a large foyer with one of the old stone barn walls and striking herring-bone patterned brick floor. Adjacent is the expansive living and dining room, with soaring ceilings, wood beams and gleaming hardwood floors that run the full width of the fabulous mid-century addition. Here, walls of sliding glass doors topped with transoms open on to a raised, covered porch that looks out to lawns and gardens and a spectacular pool with lush plantings. In the living room, a wood-burning fireplace is flanked by elegant built-ins. The dining area is linked to the completely updated kitchen through a sleek butler's pantry with a wall of cupboards. The kitchen features gorgeous quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, a ceramic farmhouse sink, generous custom cupboards and drawers and a comfortable peninsula with seating. Stone walls, brick floor, a wall of windows overlooking the pool, gardens and long distance views, along with a sliding glass door to the courtyard patio, add to the fabulous ambiance of this exquisite space. Beyond the kitchen and back in the "antique" section of the house, is a serene family room/library graced by a stone fireplace and a large window looking out to a pretty enclosed garden. Completing the main level is a new tile powder room. Up a flight of stairs from the foyer is the home's light-filled main bedroom - a tranquil retreat with random-width wood floors, a decorative stone fireplace, an elegant, fully-renovated tile bathroom with glass shower, and double sinks. There are two additional, generously-sized bedrooms at the walk-out lower level, one with a charming window seat overlooking the pool and gardens. They share a new two-room tile bathroom. The laundry is conveniently located here as well. Just beyond the beautiful courtyard patio and garden is the wonderful guest house which features a bedroom, living room/office, a full tile bath and a half bath. A large deck on the upper level, with its spectacular views, is the perfect location for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. The lower level of the cottage opens to the pool area. At the front of the property is a generously-sized stone governor driveway with ample parking, and a three bay garage with storage. This unique and very special home is located only 5 miles from the center of vibrant New Hope, with its theater, art galleries, restaurants and music venues. The Holland Tunnel is a 69 mile drive; Philadelphia is 43 miles.
