Property Description
STUNNING HOME & LOCATION ARE UNDERSTATEMENTS! Between the Delaware River and the New Hope towpath/canal sits Treehouse on the Towpath, an exceptional house and property. Believed that the original portion dates to the 1700s, this well-loved home has extraordinary views and gardens that complement its wonderful floor plan and architectural features. Over the years it has had well-planned additions that fit in seamlessly and create the ambiance for comfortable living & gracious entertaining in a serene and private setting. Daily, the breathtaking views will feed your sense of beauty and calm. A deck that extends across the rear, with multiple doors out to it and a screened-in gazebo, are but some of what it offers. Beam ceilings, old pine plank & newer hickory flooring, tin ceilings, original bead board doors, built-in cupboards and in-the-wall cabinets, deep windowsills and a sensational first floor bedroom suite. Enter from a brick staircase and pathway to a covered porch and you are in the foyer that opens into the front-to-back great room. Morning sun pours. Step through a door into a study/office, powder room, another fireplace. Continue to the beautiful sky lit hall, with unique Atrium door out to the front of the house, and you enter the main floor bedroom and bathroom. Architectural features and a slider to the deck enhance the main bedroom suite. Awaken and watch the Delaware River flow by. In the rear of the house is the large eat-in kitchen with custom oak cabinetry, another slider to the deck, Corian countertops, spacious island with cooktop. An adjoining laundry room has plenty of storage & a stone-lined area for mechanicals. The original dining room has a huge stone fireplace with iron cooking arm & a pass-through to kitchen that once was an exterior window. A pine door accesses the upstairs spacious second bedroom and a bathroom. Brick walkways and stairs abound, gorgeous perennial gardens, shrubs and ornamental trees, centuries old Sycamore trees, arbor with seating area and mature wisteria, patio below along the river bank, a storage shed and stairs that take you out to the towpath on both sides of the house. It does not get better than this. Stunning and magical in every sense of the words. And, it’s only a short distance to downtown New Hope and its great dining, shopping, renowned Playhouse and the commuting corridors to Princeton, Philadelphia and New York. Whether full-time or weekend residence, come fall in love and become the next owner to relax, eat, drink and be merry with history and the river surrounding you. Welcome home, indeed! Directions: Some GPS systems will not direct you to the house.. From River Road from New Hope, the towpath is just before Rabbit Run bridge crossing the canal to the right. Last house on the towpath lane on the right. Turn around is shortly after the house. Coming south, sharp left onto towpath. showings begin Thursday 4/8/2021
