An antique stone barn and striking mid-century living spaces have been happily combined to create this striking country property. Located on one of Solebury's prettiest roads, this lovely home is both comfortable and elegant. A circular drive gives a welcoming first view of the old stone structure which is now framed by a fenced brick patio, pretty gardens and mature trees. A gate leads to a formal front entry with new, traditional door hood. Inside is more stone: one of the barn walls is now a focal point in the foyer, of off which is a stunning great room in the mid-century addition. High ceilings and a wall of windows and French doors look out to the bluestone terrace with beautiful grounds beyond. Gleaming hardwood floors, built-in gallery shelves, a wood-burning fireplace and loads of natural light give this room the feel of a great country manor, but with a warm and intimate ambiance. From the dining area, through a convenient butler's pantry, is the well-designed kitchen. Long expanses of counter space and ample cupboards, along with updated appliances make it the ideal work space for serious cooks. A door from the kitchen leads to the patio for al fresco dining, with another door to the foyer. An opening in the stone wall looks into the cozy library/family room, a delightful room designed as a space to put your feet up and relax in front of a fire. This level also includes a full bath. Above the family room and kitchen is the main bedroom. A private retreat, it also features a wood burning fireplace, windows looking out to trees, ample closets and its own tile bath. Downstairs are two additional bedrooms, one with a stone fireplace, one currently used as an office; a full bath; laundry and utility room; and storage. A door leads from this level to a patio and the saltwater Sylvan pool. Adjacent to the main house is a two level cottage. Currently, this charming place houses a studio and office. With its full bath and efficiency kitchen, and a large deck, the cottage makes a very special guest house or in-law residence. A large 3-car garage, an old goat shed (chickens? gardening equipment? playhouse?), beautiful lawns and extensive plantings complete this unique and special country property. Located just a couple of miles from New Hope and Lambertville, and all the shopping, restaurants, bars and entertainment options these towns offer; 67 miles to the Holland Tunnel; 63 miles to the Verazzano; 42 miles to Center City Philadelphia.
