About This Home

As of January 2024

Enjoy the tranquility and privacy of over five acres in beautiful Solebury Township. A winding driveway off of one of the prettiest roads in Bucks County brings you to a charming cottage situated amidst lush foliage, wildflowers & mature trees. Although you are comfortably secluded in an idyllic setting, you are only minutes away from access to major thoroughfares which allow an easy commute to New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia. Enjoy the fine dining, entertainment and shopping available in nearby towns, including the quaint yet vibrant village of New Hope. Whether you find that this delightful cottage is a home improvement and remodeler's dream, or the abundant acreage on this exclusive lot speaks to you of building your dream home, you will find yourself living in your own little piece of paradise in the heart of Old Bucks County. This desirable cottage is priced to sell and is offered in AS-IS Condition.
