The Joshua Whiteley Homestead - Circa 1790, is sited on a shy 2 acres in the quaint Borough of New Hope. The main home sits on a hill side and overlooks the ruin of what was The Whiteley's Mill. The home has a beautiful dining room with plank flooring and fireplace (one of 4). There is a large kitchen "prep" room and a newly renovated kitchen. The gracious living room with fireplace is basking in sunlight and has window views of the front porch. The master bedroom and guest bedroom and baths are located on the second level. The home, has an old Cape Cod aura to it and is surrounded by beautiful perennial gardens. A very special and spacious guest cottage sits atop the garage. The Joshua Whiteley Homestead is an authentic home of "Old" New Hope and is just minutes away from the center of town. Here is an opportunity to own a rare piece of New Hope's history.
The richness of this c. 1707 historical home with newer guest house within the charming Borough of New Hope shines through in its pumpkin pine floors, exposed beam ceilings and three fireplaces. A country house at its heart yet convenient to absolutely everything in New Hope Borough, its floor plan features generously sized rooms for entertaining with a big wraparound porch and a side deck with retractable awning as overflow space for warm-weather affairs. The kitchen includes a casual dining area with fireplace and countertops adorned with beautiful Mercer tile. Private quarters include a large main suite bedroom with interior shutters, beautiful wood floors, wall to wall closets, private bath, sitting room/den plus 2 additional bedrooms and a full bath. On almost two acres with a greenhouse, there's plenty of space for the outdoorsman and the gardener at heart. As a bonus, the property includes an attractive, legal, one-bedroom apartment above an oversized, heated two-car garage with workshop. Expansive parking area to accommodate an RV complete with sewer/water/electric hookup. The perfect home for those who want character that simply cannot be replicated in newer construction!
