About This Home

As of December 2023

One of the last rare and affordable opportunities to live in the heart of historic New Hope Borough. This charming property with a private backyard is also just steps to tranquil Lenape Park where many romantic wedding vows are exchanged and is a sweet respite from the abundant downtown shopping & vibrant restaurant scene along the Delaware River. Hop right onto the walking and bike path along the canal on either side of the New Hope-Lambertville Bridge. Lambertville is a town also renowned for its independent storefronts and its numerous antique shops. New Hope is consistently highly ranked for its pleasant walkability, cultural attractions including the Bucks County Playhouse and the annual Oscar & Hammerstein film festival, top-rated school district including #3 ranking of Best High Schools for STEM in Bucks County, and recently voted one of the most charming towns to visit in Bucks County by Philadelphia Magazine. Come for a weekend, stay for a lifetime!
