If you are seeking a sunny and airy home with gracious appointments and one floor living, on one of Solebury’s prettiest streets, this home will check all of your boxes. The ranch style home is perfectly located between the River towns of Stockton and New Hope and a bike ride away from the Delaware River. Gently sloping from the quietly winding road is a three bedroom three full bath home with a large, fenced yard backing to trees and a sweet, detached barn waiting for the perfect use. The main floor is open with the gorgeous kitchen entirely open to the great room with stone fireplace and woodstove insert. Because of the open floorplan, this fireplace does a marvelous job of heating nearly the entire home. Not only is it wonderful to have a fire but the savings in heating costs will be appreciated. The kitchen has expansive handsome cabinetry with custom additions such as spice rack pullouts and sheet pan organizers. An impressive 6-burner commercial style stove with double ovens is crowned by a matching stainless steel hood. A huge square center island with storage, prep sink and beverage cooler also has casual seating for entertaining or a quick meal. A completely open dining area will fit a good sized table and chairs. One step down is the large, heated sunroom with three walls of windows overlooking the flagstone patio and lush rear lawn. What a wonderful place to curl up with a book and watch the snow fall or a dramatic thunderstorm in mid-summer. The three bedrooms are all found down a hallway with the first one being the smallest. This room has two closets with one has been set up as the main floor laundry with a full sized washer and dryer and storage shelving. This can easily be converted back to a closet, if needed, because there is a second laundry hookup in the basement. The bedroom has a beautiful full bath right across the hall. The second bedroom features a beautifully appointed ensuite full bath making it a wonderful guest room. The primary bedroom is set up for maximum quiet tucked in the back of the house with a large walk in closet and a seating area and gorgeous full bath up front and the bedroom just beyond. A shiplap accent wall provides a stylish contrast to the freshly painted room. In fact, all of the house has been freshly painted! Glass doors open to a lovely walkway leading to the rear yard and, upon waking, provide a beautiful morning view. In addition to the fresh paint, the entire first floor has recently refinished wood floors throughout. Downstairs is the full basement with a large room flanked by two smaller rooms. You could still have your family room and add a separate craft or exercise space since both can be closed off with pocket doors. The two car garage can be accessed from the house but we still have the barn! A sweet little two story barn still has the blacksmith’s forge! The barn has a separate electric panel and has been rough plumbed for water. Windows were replaced in the front to match the house. Additional features include: Navien tankless water heater, recently installed propane HVAC with Seller owned propane tank, a Generac Generator, security system that just needs to be re-connected to the provider, and so much more. Just a five minute drive to New Hope and ninety minutes to New York and Philadelphia! A beautiful home in a wonderful location in New Hope Solebury School District.
