Description

With a storybook setting overlooking the canal and the Towpath, this spectacular home in an esteemed Bowman’s Tower Farm, this small enclave is just four homes. The large center hall looks onto the dining room and the living room with transom topped doorways and a keystone arch leading to the family room, kitchen, and home office. Casual meals will be enjoyed in the renovated chef's kitchen with a large central island, Thermador appliances including a 6-burner range with a pot filler, and a farm...With a storybook setting overlooking the canal and the Towpath, this spectacular home in an esteemed Bowman’s Tower Farm, this small enclave is just four homes. The large center hall looks onto the dining room and the living room with transom topped doorways and a keystone arch leading to the family room, kitchen, and home office. Casual meals will be enjoyed in the renovated chef's kitchen with a large central island, Thermador appliances including a 6-burner range with a pot filler, and a farm sink. Watch the cross-country skiers and the bikers on the Towpath while sipping your morning coffee or get some exercise in the built-in swim spa on the composite deck before starting the day. For chores, the utility wing is neatly organized with a large laundry room that hides one of two powder rooms. The second is next to the fireside family room. Up split stairs accessed from the kitchen and the foyer, you’ll find four elegant bedrooms. Three connect directly to their own renovated bathrooms. The sumptuous main suite has an oversized sky-lit bathroom with a big soaking tub, oversized shower, and a huge walk-in closet. A composite deck off of the main bath overlooks the canal. Throughout, the finishes in this home are top-of-the-line with hand-crafted faux painted walls, wood floors, a whole house generator, a three-car garage…the list goes on. A small HOA fee provides exclusive access to a private “island” for use by residents nestled between the historic Delaware Canal and the Delaware River. Just minutes to downtown New Hope and Route 95 for easy commuting. No flood insurance is required.
