3017 River Rd, New Hope, PA 18938

Situated on a wooded hillside, Haydel Lodge is offered for sale for the first time in nearly 20 years and offers a great opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind home in Bucks County. Built in 1850 and located in the sought-after area of River Road in Solebury, this unique property is only minutes from the popular towns of Lambertville and New Hope. The area is well known for its many historic and interesting features, and visitors far and wide immediately fall in love with this beautiful part of Pennsylvania. The serenity of the area can make it hard to believe that award-winning restaurants, art galleries, unique shops, high-quality schools, antique stores, and more are just a “stone's throw” away. The historic Delaware River and the unique rail trail towpath that travels all the way to Frenchtown are favorite attractions for locals and visitors. This part of Bucks County offers limitless outdoor activities like biking, fishing, hiking, kayaking, and even river tubing on a warm sunny day. The main home features two bedrooms and two full baths on the main entry level, with a bonus room that can be used as a sitting/dressing room or a home office. The beautiful, curved staircase brings you to the dramatic great room with its two-story vaulted ceilings, wood beams, and wood floors. The natural light flows through the many windows, offering views in all directions, and the local wildlife lazily strolling by. The wood-burning fireplace offers warmth and comfort on cold winter nights. The large kitchen area is full of possibilities with built-in shelves and extra wall cabinets. The open space allows you to use your imagination and sense of style to determine where a table should go and where an island could easily be added. A gorgeous, peaceful waterfall creates a natural barrier between the main house and the one-bedroom guest house/cottage, recently painted in a soft gray. This cozy space is home to a full galley kitchen with skylights, a dining nook, a family room, a full bath, and a washer/dryer with its own private patio and garden. The cottage offers endless possibilities - home office, in-law suite, studio, writer's nook, home gym, or whatever you envision. This is a great space with natural light and privacy. Lush trees surround the property, providing shade and solace in a magical setting. You will enjoy seasonal river views when the leaves have fallen throughout the chillier months. For peace of mind, the home has backup generators in case of a power outage. This is a great home for either a full-time resident or a weekender. Commuters can take the bus right to Manhattan, and you are never far from all the major Northeast roadways - either south towards Philadelphia (50 min) or North towards Manhattan (90 min). Trains are another travel option, with the Princeton, Hamilton, and Trenton train stations not far away.
