About This Home
RIVERFRONT PARADISE - A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY IN NEW HOPE, PA
Discover one of the most extraordinary properties in New Hope, offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Delaware River. From the rushing rapids and historic wing dam to the feeder canal, main canal, scenic walking path, and tranquil stream, this location is truly unparalleled. Gaze eastward toward the rolling mountains of New Jersey and take in the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Enjoy deep-water access with a sturdy sea wall—perfect for docking your pontoon boat or watercraft, casting a fishing line, or taking a refreshing swim. Best of all, you’re within walking distance of everything in New Hope and Lambertville, yet tucked away from the noise of passing car traffic. Here, only walkers and cyclists pass by, ensuring peace and privacy in this serene riverfront retreat. The existing home is in need of a complete transformation. The historic stone structure must be preserved according to HARB guidelines, offering a rare opportunity to restore a piece of history while creating a stunning new vision. Alternatively, maintain the historic stone portion and design the riverfront home of your dreams.
Let your imagination run wild and bring your vision to life in this magical riverfront sanctuary!
