About This Home

As of December 2024

Your search for your dream home starts and ends here!! Tucked away on 13 magnificent acres in bucolic Bucks County and just outside of historic New Hope, Pa, is this Enchanting Artist's Home..... Where Art and Life Converge. New Hope, Pennsylvania, a town steeped in artistic enchantment, has woven its legacy into the very fabric of creativity. Since the late 19th century, a cadre of visionary artists—often referred to as the Pennsylvania Impressionists or the “New Hope School”—has graced this picturesque haven with their inspired brushstrokes and poetic visions. Luminaries such as William Langson Lathrop and Edward Willis Redfield laid the foundation of an enduring artistic tradition that still resonates through the town’s lush landscapes and historic streets. This home, also known as Dark Forest, just minutes outside of the beautiful river town of New Hope, is a testament to the town’s artistic spirit, celebrating life through every pixel and canvas. The owner's influence extends beyond her captivating works; she recently made headlines for her extraordinary generosity, giving away 400 of her paintings—not for profit, but as gifts to those who truly appreciate her artistry. This act of giving not only highlights her profound connection to the community but also embodies the essence of New Hope—a place where the ordinary dissolves into a tapestry of creativity, and where artists breathe life into every brushstroke. New Hope itself is a living canvas, a sanctuary where imagination thrives, and the echoes of artistic pioneers continue to inspire and enchant. Step across the threshold of this New Hope residence, and you’ll find yourself immersed in a world where art transcends mere aesthetics. As you approach through the entrance, a picturesque drive leads you to this private oasis. The grandeur of the property unfolds before you, surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees. Much like the owner's paintings, the two-story entryway frames views of the living room—a sun-drenched space w/an expansive wall of windows. Here, warmth and creativity converge. This sprawling home epitomizes elegance and comfort, offering sophisticated one-floor living just under a mile from the charming New Hope Borough. Natural light floods every room, enhancing the open and airy floor plan. Two “parlor” rooms offer versatile spaces, perfect for home offices or quiet retreats. The open living room features a cozy gas fireplace, creating a warm ambiance during colder months. It has also hosted memorable concerts and charity events. Vaulted ceilings and skylights grace the enormous finished room over the three-car garage, currently set up as a home office. This space offers flexibility and convenience. The heart of the home is the primary suite wing—a true sanctuary. Enjoy evenings by the gas fireplace or unwind in the adjoining sunroom with a hot tub. The spa-like primary bathroom boasts a steam shower and a state-of-the-art Toto bidet toilet. Three sets of sliding glass doors invite you to the backyard and patios, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Outside, the breathtaking pool area mirrors the artist’s palette. Reclaimed flagstone patios and artistically crafted stone walls surround the pool, promising endless days of leisure and entertainment. As you lounge by the water, you’ll feel the same wonder that Mintzer infuses into her art—a sense of magic and possibility. The meticulously landscaped grounds feature flowering trees, ensuring privacy and serenity. Three electric awnings promise endless days of leisure and entertainment. While you revel in tranquility, the vibrant towns of New Hope and Lambertville, NJ, are just moments away. Plus, residing in the award-winning New Hope Solebury School District adds to the appeal. This property harmoniously blends grandeur, privacy, and convenience—an ideal haven for those seeking luxury & Privacy.
