Wonderful and Authentic truly describes this New Hope Boro Bed and Breakfast waiting to be converted back to a single family home. 6 private bedrooms and 6 en-suite bathrooms plus a caretakers suite with bedroom, living room and private bath. All the requisite Bucks County charm is here with thick, stone walls, beamed ceilings, large fireplaces, wide wood floors, original, locally quarried, slate floors, country kitchen, and lots of windows for natural light. Outside, a large, flat garden area for alfresco dining, and views galore down to the creek. Continue on the steps leading down to a path and many mature gardens, where weddings, parties, and yoga retreats have all taken place. Or meditate and appreciate all of the various woodlands, wild lilacs and a gazebo facing Ingham Creek and the New Hope-Ivyland Railroad visible in the distance. Very special and authentic Bucks County B & B has lots of old world charm, and each room in the home has its very own unique spirituality. This can be a special single family home. The current live-in caretaker consistently maintains and updates the home and property including newer HVAC, newer plumbing and water heaters, electrical, roofs, landscaping, etc. Add the walkability to the many galleries, restaurants, shopping, and theatre of New Hope and Lambertville, plus a strong history of solid revenue, makes this a truly special place.
