95 W MECHANIC ST New Hope, PA 18938

One of New Hope Borough's most scenic streets turns into a long country road, and that's where you'll find this 19th century bank house. Renovated in 2015 on all three levels, it exemplifies the best of both worlds: rich in historical character with up-to-the-minute, magazine-worthy interiors. This expansive brick and frame home is snugged into its hillside with stacked-stone hardscaping that adds a European sensibility to its setting. Step inside and take in the well-designed kitchen with an island with bar seating topped in soapstone with custom sink and Waterworks faucet; Bertazzoni dual-fuel range; Miele dishwasher; Jenn-Air French door refrigerator and glass tile counter-to-ceiling backsplash. A large dining area, gorgeous refinished wide pine floors, custom lighting and historical plank doors all work to create perfect balance of beauty and utility. Just beyond is the living room, where an expertly faux-painted fireplace mantle with tile surround serves as a focal point. Custom bookshelves, wood floors and natural light from every direction add appeal. The vaulted-ceiling sunroom is a tranquil sanctuary, lined in windows with a slider to a private patio. Two of the four bedrooms are en suite; two have fireplaces. All three baths and the powder room sparkle with new, well chose fixtures and finishes, including one bathroom with a glass-enclosed, oversized shower with rainfall showerhead. Off-street parking, a large storage shed, low maintenance grounds and a high walkability score for those who wish to stroll into town add to this move-in-ready offering.
