"Dual Waters" is a sophisticated and exciting fusion of both Modern and Arts & Crafts sensibilties. The home is located in the highly desirable North end of New Hope Borough. It is set back from the road, with custom IPE steps which lead up to the canal and tow path. One of the most exciting things about this property is the fact that it has expansive views of the Delaware river, with riparian rights, and a 50 foot terrace on the river with a dock suitable for two boats. The home was custom built 2006 incorporating an early 20th century stone fishing and hunting cottage. The stone walls of the house are original and were carefully restored. The property also includes an app 1,000sq ft cottage that was completely restored in 2007 as a two bedroom guest house with gas fireplace. There is a custom-built post and beam pool pavilion with IPE decking, refrigerator, outdoor shower, and private pool powder room. The salt water pool glistens against the wall of ever-green bamboo and 35 foot high Japanese temple fir trees. The main residence boasts one commonality...all of the rooms are generously sized with high ceilings. The main entertainment room contains Brazilian cherry hardwood floors (that run throughout the house), custom cherry ceiling beams, and a central fireplace that is the nucleus of the space. The adjacent open kitchen and dining area look out through a custom retracting wall of glass into a three season room. The kitchen offers a combination of honed quartz and glass counter tops, Subzero, Viking and Miele appliances service the kitchen that has a mid-century vibe. All windows and exterior doors are custom manufactured by Loewen. The family room is where the family gathers for T.V. and socializing. This room, like all of the public spaces, contain artistically crafted walls and millwork. The visual "wow" factor is the custom open staircase with metal railings that traverse three levels. The second level contains two guest bedrooms and two full baths, as well as a master suite with a full bath and two walk in closets. The master bedroom balcony that fronts the River, is wrapped in a custom designed wrought iron railing that depicts vignettes of River. The large master bath has a two sink vanity, 2 head rain shower and an oversized tub that looks out to the Delaware River. The irrigated grounds are meticulous and the bluestone hardscaping throughout is visually impressive."Dual Waters" is one of those rare properties that captures your imagination.
