About 80 W Bridge St
A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of New Hope’s most iconic and historic properties. Known as the Aaron Burr House, local tradition holds that Aaron Burr sought refuge here following his infamous 1804 duel with Alexander Hamilton, adding a fascinating chapter to this remarkable property’s history.
Built in 1854, this stately property seamlessly blends historic charm with modern versatility. Rich hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, crown moldings, chair rails, and exquisite period details create an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated. Currently operating as a highly successful inn, the property offers exceptional flexibility as an income-producing hospitality business, mixed-use opportunity, multi-generational residence, or extraordinary private home.
The first floor currently features four guest suites, many of which were originally the home’s gracious formal living and parlor rooms and could be converted back should a buyer wish to return the property to a grand private residence. The second floor serves as the heart of the home, offering a spacious kitchen, elegant dining room, comfortable sitting room, powder room, and two additional bedroom suites. The third floor includes a two-bedroom caretaker’s apartment that could also serve as owner accommodations, guest quarters, office space, or additional bedrooms. A partially finished lower level provides further guest accommodations and a full bath.
Situated just over a block from the heart of downtown New Hope, guests and residents enjoy easy access to the Delaware River, Delaware Canal Towpath, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, boutiques, theaters, and the vibrant cultural scenes of both New Hope and Lambertville. The generous parking area occupies what was historically a separate lot, presenting intriguing possibilities for future exploration, subject to Borough approvals.
Conveniently located approximately one hour from Philadelphia, 90 minutes from New York City, and within easy reach of Princeton, this extraordinary property offers a rare combination of history, character, location, and opportunity in one of the Delaware River Valley’s most desirable destinations.
