About This Home

As of May 2021

Low taxes and extreme privacy are hallmarks of this very special property! Tucked away and secluded, it offers a renovated and expanded 3+Bedroom, 3.2 bath tiered home, finished throughout in the style of a sleek, comfortable modern home. Situated on almost 15 secluded acres, with two driveway accesses, the property offers a main house with attached 2-car heated garage, renovated 3+ en-suite Bedroom guest house, separate garage/barn building, fiberglass pool, pond, and sweeping vistas of the gorgeous protected partly treed site. The property is designated as Agricultural Reserve, and is under a Deed of Conservation Easement, both to provide an assurance of magnificent solitude for years to come. Understated and totally deceiving on its front elevation, the approx. 5700 sq. ft. main house is a total surprise upon entering! It follows the contour of the land and provides a complete lower living level and dramatic windowed views from every space in the house. The open floor plan showcases vaulted ceilings, glazed beams, rich wood flooring, and huge Marvin windows to the outside in all directions. The marble foyer opens to a main level great room with endless views and stone fireplace, and is open to a study/office, sitting/TV room, gourmet kitchen, and dining room. Each main room allows unrestricted views to the pond, lower terrace with pergola and the property beyond. The well-planned chef's kitchen is like new, equipped with a Wolf range with Dual Heat and griddle, stainless Subzero Refrigerator, built-in beverage refrigeration, and granite counters with bar stools for seating. There is also a Butler Pantry with built-ins, prep sink, Bosch dishwasher, and access to the spacious laundry room and a side covered Trek deck at grade level. The dining room is open to the kitchen and allows for gracious entertaining with the covered deck just outside, equipped with a gas grill. Also tucked away on the main level is the spacious Main Bedroom suite with sitting area, large walk-in closet with closet system, and full bath with deep soaking tub, tile shower w/frameless shower doors, vanity w/dual sinks, large, mirrored wall, linen closet, and wood floors. The main level also provides a newer half bath w/vessel sink and walk-in cedar closet. The lower level is a destination in and of itself and ready for fun! The large great/game room with space for a pool or ping-pong table, offers a spacious sitting area, cozy wood cast iron stove, media area with flat screen and theater seats, glass shelving for barware, and sliding glass doors to the expansive terrace with pergola, which has wisteria & grapevines during the growing season. A bar sink and convenient half bath are nearby. For family and guests, there are two en-suite bedrooms, one with a large sitting area, each offering direct access to the terrace, and finish that replicates that of a fine hotel. An additional bonus room/flex bedroom is available if needed. The attached 2-car garage is heated, and also houses a large workshop area. Outside an easy walk will take you to the spring-fed pond and vintage well house, and down the hill on a newly paved access driveway, to the separate guest house. It too has been renovated and offers 3 en-suite bedrooms. In addition, there is a large, detached barn building with 3 garage bays for large tractors, snow mobiles, or extra cars, along with a large workshop room, and a part-finished room that could be a great home office or art studio. A fiberglass pool (6 ft deep) is ideal for a dip on warm Summer days and nights. The main house offers zoned heat and central air with a tankless boiler, on demand tankless hot water heater, a whole house 20 KW generator, asphalt dimensional shingle roof, and more. Located on one of Solebury’s finest country roads, with scenic beauty, a charming farmer’s markets nearby, and easy access to River Rd. and the Delaware Canal, this sensational turn-key offering is a rare opportunity!
