About 2033 Aquetong
A long, winding driveway carries you through lush forest, the woods closing in tighter the further you go. Then you cross a quaint stone bridge over Dark Hollow Run, the trees fall away, and the landscape opens onto a secluded mid-century modern retreat. Built in 1984, the 1.5-story, 3,378-square-foot contemporary home includes an in-ground pool, a two-car attached garage, and an additional detached two-car garage with storage. It sits on approximately 11.93 acres, only minutes from local amenities and the charming riverfront boroughs of New Hope and Lambertville.
Upon entry, a slate-stone foyer showcases a floating staircase. To your left is a great room with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a custom triangular skylight that fills the room with natural light. Make your way back toward the foyer and through to the family room, where sliding glass doors overlook a sweeping, manicured lawn. A wood-burning fireplace sits center stage beneath the canopied second floor. From there, a showstopping, multi-purpose sunroom and dining room await, wrapped in skylights and windows along their full length, where you can take in the vast beauty of nature and wildlife on these grounds. A sliding glass door gives you access to the backyard stone patio and pool. The kitchen is the heart of the home, thoughtfully laid out for everyday cooking and entertaining alike. A wall of oversized windows floods the kitchen with light and views of the backyard and pool. The dark cherry custom cabinetry, paired with natural stone countertops and stainless appliances, makes for a sophisticated palette. The bar is tucked off to the side, with a full wine rack above, a sink, and a beverage refrigerator. To finish the first floor, the half-bath is down the hall along with the laundry center stacked in the closet and access to the two-car attached garage. Lastly, the primary bedroom suite has vaulted ceilings, a custom walk-in closet, and a primary bathroom featuring a dedicated shower, a soaking tub, a makeup area, and his-and-hers sinks. The second floor is a sanctuary in and of itself, with a layout that includes a sitting area with access to the outdoor roof deck, overlooking the pool area and offering another sweeping view of the landscape. A well-appointed office complements the space, along with a second bedroom offering a reach-in closet and its own access to the roof deck. The third room could serve as guest quarters or storage, with a reach-in closet.
The real value is the land. Nearly twelve acres, gently sloping and wooded, with the detached garage offering real potential for a future guest house or studio beyond the storage it provides today. The grounds are the kind of blank canvas that lets a buyer decide whether to restore this 1980s original to its full character, or bring forward an entirely new design and make it your own.
Located in the award-winning New Hope-Solebury school district, this is a rare offering of usable, private acreage minutes from one of Bucks County's most sought-after river towns. Land, privacy, and architectural bones like this do not come around often in Solebury Township. This is the kind of property that makes you remember why Solebury is considered one of Pennsylvania's most desirable destinations.
