Old world meets contemporary in the heart of New Hope. The year was 2010. A local builder and his architect were meticulously executing on an exclusive enclave of townhomes in the heart of New Hope, called Canal Street. The site was a stone's throw from the historic Logan Inn, and the original ferry landing that shuttled Tories and Patriots alike across the Delaware hundreds of years before. Fast forward another few hundred years to a little hotel that also stood at the site, where a soon-to-be President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jackie chose to stay in New Hope on their way to the White House. A dream location no doubt, but the development team faced a bit of a dilemma. The original plan was to clear the site, saving both time and money, had it not been for one soulful bank home that had stood the test of time. The development team recognized old world quality and charm when they saw it. The original bones and craftmanship would be hard to replicate. Hand hewn beams, two-foot-thick stone walls, mortise and tenon joinery. It was all there, just too good to tear down. Their solution -- and your opportunity to own a piece of history! -- was to make it the centerpiece of their restoration project. Many have since attributed this community as the beginning of New Hope's renaissance and the making of the Boro as one of Bucks County's most desirable places to live. Even today, it still feels secluded, but so conveniently located steps away from the new bustling Ferry Market, Bucks County Playhouse and the Unionville Winery, as well as familiar culinary favorites Zoubi's and Karla's Restaurant.
