New Hope's best kept secret, "Stonebury" is now proudly offered for sale. Perched on the highest point in Solebury Township with dramatic views of the Delaware River, this 31 acre estate has remained a mystery to all who pass by the long stone edged drive ascending up the mountainside in dramatic fashion. The all cut stone residence was constructed in the early 1930's and completed by its Trenton coal tycoon owner in 1936. Stonebury consists of almost 10,000 sq ft and is reminiscent of the old stone mansions of Mainline Philadelphia. The style is Tudor Revival with some Gothic influence. In the 1970's, two modern additions were added giving it a rich and varied architectural texture. The grand "River Room" or family room is a masterpiece of mid-century modern architecture complete with a plaster "shell" ceiling, fireplace, and undulating magical wet bar which played host to the most chic social events witnessed in New Hope back in the day. The grand front to back entrance foyer features a Gothic inspired black and white staircase and gorgeous black ebonized hardwood floors. The living room is anchored by a deep stone fireplace centered within a cozy nook creating the perfect area for conversation. There are a total of 6 bedrooms and 4 full and 2 partial baths, including a large master suite with fireplace, sitting room, spa room with sauna and luxurious marble bath with steam shower and Jacuzzi, creating a relaxing oasis. The home has 17 zones of geothermal heating and central air. Separate stone pool house with changing room, bathroom and sauna. There is 2800 ft of direct river frontage to left of the Delaware Canal State Park parking lot. Close to historic Stockton and New Hope and commuting distance to NYC and Princeton.
