Property Description
The Circa 1780’s “Bank House” located in the heart of New Hope Borough is a classic late 1700’s Bucks County home, benefiting from extensive renovations while preserving its historic and pristine character. Some of the many original features include 14”+ wide plank pumpkin pine flooring, multiple sets of pie staircases, and original doors and hardware. This red brick home is situated on a quiet country road, affording privacy plus scenic views of the Aquetong Creek from its hilltop setting. The home has 3 dedicated on-street parking spots and is a 5-minute walk to the wonderful heart of New Hope and the Delaware River. Bluestone stairs with classic cast iron railing and stacked-stone walls lead to the Main level kitchen patio area and the kitchen entrance of this historic treasure. The gourmet kitchen boasts original pumpkin pine flooring, recessed lighting, white full overlay custom cabinetry with solid wood countertop, and a two-tier Bucks County Soapstone island with soapstone sink, counter and breakfast bar. Also featured are high-end stainless-steel appliances including a “Jenn Aire” French door refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, an Italian F. Bertazzoni dual-fuel range with red enamel finish and a stainless-steel F. Bertazzoni microwave oven. There is also a spacious dining area with a wall of windows.
