Property Description

Set on the banks of the scenic Delaware River, this landmark New Hope home is an oasis of serenity featuring exquisite views from nearly every window. Built as a country escape in the 1920s, Playwicky, as this property is known, was designed to meld the indoors with the beauty of nature, creating an idyllic home with gracious public spaces and comfortable private rooms.
Outdoor living could not be more inviting and varied with six patios, three balconies, two covered porches and a second floor deck to choose from. There are intimate garden nooks for morning coffee, dramatic stone terraces for drinks and dining and soothing outdoor spaces just made for an afternoon nap al fresco. The gracious pool and its surroundings offer even more places to enjoy the gardens, views and charm of the property. Majestic trees, flowering shrubs and perennials, and thousands of bulbs create drama and beauty, with delightful stone paths and walkways adding a sense of surprise and whimsey to the landscape. And the river...the constant play of light against the water, the ever-changing seasonal colors, and the shapes and lights of the picturesque bridge in the distance create a dreamy quality to the setting.
The main house offers three gracious bedrooms, each with en suite tile bathrooms, an expansive living room with beamed ceiling, lovely wood-burning fireplace and six sets of vintage French doors leading to front, rear and side terraces. The light is exquisite. At home meals can be as formal or casual as one prefers in the large dining room with coffered ceiling, built-in cabinetry and two pairs of French doors that open to one of the terraces. Gourmet cooks will feel right at home in this well-planned kitchen with copious cupboards, expansive center island and countertops, two sinks--both with gorgeous views. There is a door leading to the charming little patio that seamlessly links the main house to the two-story guest house, offering privacy and comfort to guests, and convenience to the host .
The guest house is a delightful octagonal structure with a thoughtfully-designed interior featuring two flexible spaces, both with wood burning fireplaces and walls of windows. There is a fabulous full bath, a generous-size wine cellar, a beverage station and convenient storage.
Unique and exciting architectural and decorative details are around every corner at Playwicky, including extraordinary ironwork by Tiffany and the renowned Samuel Yellen, arched windows with unique "rope" trim, carved wooden medallions, doors and woodwork, intricate custom cabinetry and unique chimneys.
Located just a quick 10 minute drive along the river to the center of New Hope (or less than half an hour bike ride on the towpath!). Even closer are Lumberville, PA (two minutes to the historic Black Bass Hotel, a favorite of locals and visitors) and five to the village of Stockton, NJ, where the Stockton Market is a go-to food destination). It is 12 miles from the Trenton-Mercer Airport, 56 miles to Newark International Airport, 42 miles to Center City Philadelphia, and 74 miles to Manhattan.
