Spacious homes on large lots reflect Solebury’s rural charm
On a drive through Solebury, you’ll see a number of stone houses and churches that reflect the area’s rich history that dates back to colonial times. You’ll also see plenty of active farms, reflecting the prominent agricultural heritage. Solebury has a wide array of architectural styles, including colonials, cottages, Cape Cods and contemporary transitional-style homes. Homes here tend to be spacious, averaging upwards of 2,500 square feet and often perched on lots ranging from a half-acre to multiple acres. You can get a two-bedroom cottage for around $500,000, a four-bedroom transitional-style home for around $900,000 or a large, four-bedroom Cape Cod for around $1.5 million. According to Peters, homes are selling quickly if the property is in good condition and in the hands of a good agent.
