1684 STREET RD New Hope, PA 18938

Tucked in a luscious landscape of verdant shrubbery and perennial gardens, Apple Tree House brings to mind cottages that dot the Irish hillsides. White plaster walls, shed dormers with casement windows and an inviting Dutch door with a bonnet above highlight this enchanting antique house in the heart of Bucks County. Half round copper gutters and new standing seam and synthetic slate roofing compliment a superb renovation. The living room and first floor bedroom suite feature deep windowsills and oak floors. Banks of casement windows and pine floors accentuate the main bedroom suite above that includes a delightful bath with a tub/shower. A vintage addition, the great room has a fireplace with flush hearth, random floors and a dramatic boxed bow window with a view of the countryside. Separated by a peninsula of honed granite, the custom kitchen features a slate floor, cherry cabinetry with Moravian tile backsplash, farm sink, and stainless appliances that include a beverage cooler. French doors in the great room open to a secluded elliptical terrace, the focal point of the property, highlighted by a central fountain. The guest suite/studio, accessed from the terrace and carved from the garage, includes a sitting area/sunroom, designer bath with shower and a large studio above with pine floors and casement windows. A small outbuilding at the edge of the terrace houses a "summer" bath with sink and commode that services a spectacular swimming pool and heated spa, a few steps above the terrace. Surrounded by hardscape with lush planters and a view of rolling lawn beyond, the 20 X 40 pool is a private world unto itself. Unique and wonderful, Apple Tree House is the perfect weekend or year-round retreat!
