41 W Ferry St

Tucked away on one of New Hope's most picturesque streets, and accessed through a wrought iron gate leading to a brick terrace is this unique and inviting home. While located within New Hope's central commercial district, 41 West Ferry Street sits among other "antique" homes that are both commercial and residential. At one time this home also functioned as a gallery! From the front terrace, the blue door opens into the main living area which features lovely random-width pine floors and old beams. At the back of this comfortable space is a step down to a balcony that looks out to a large window with views of the creek and the graceful curves of the Stockton Bridge. A pair of skylights brings in lots of additional light. A powder room completes the main level. Down a "pie" staircase is the kitchen in the fully-finished walk-out lower level. Brick floors, plastered stone walls and Mercer tile details add rich color to this large space that includes a raised hearth fireplace with a wood stove insert. There is plenty of space for an island, a dining area, more cabinetry, comfy chairs by the hearth...so many possibilities! A pair of windows with deep wood sills and French doors open from the kitchen into a bonus space - a sunroom, dining room, sitting area or office. The room is filled with light from the over-sized window high above, skylights, as well as the back wall with a pair of windows and French doors. There are also tall built-in shelves with a ladder up to the top where a wide shelf is waiting for plants, art or collectables. Just beyond the French doors are the charming garden and pebble patio. There are steps down to the Aquetong Creek below. Back inside and up a flight of stairs from the main living level is the bedroom with two closets and a loft accessed via a small stair. There is also a newly-renovated full bath with new sink, toilet and tub/shower with a new tile wall. There are built-in drawers for linens, and a niche plumbed and wired for a stackable washer and dryer. Additionally, there is a small room, with a sink, that served as a dark room at one time. It could become a laundry room, a small office or a generous walk-in closet. This delightful home was recently painted both inside and out and has a new roof (summer 2024).
