Introducing River Soleil - a magnificent riverfront estate where architectural character, remarkable privacy, and walkable access to downtown New Hope converge into a truly one of a kind offering. Originally a fisherman’s cottage, the property has been transformed into a striking compound that blends warmth, history, and elevated modern design. Framed by towering trees and introduced by a striking timber truss entrance, this extraordinary estate feels worlds away while remaining just moments from the boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and charming river towns that define this coveted stretch of Bucks County. Stroll into downtown New Hope, cross the bridge to Lambertville, or explore the nearby destinations of Lumberville, Stockton, and Frenchtown before returning to a private retreat complete with direct river access, a private dock, tiered seating overlooking the shoreline, and immediate access to the scenic canal towpath. A circular driveway and bluestone patio arrival leads into interiors layered with rich materials and custom craftsmanship. Brazilian cherry flooring extends throughout the residence alongside distinctive wood-clad walls, hidden built-ins, curated shelving, and expansive windows framing tranquil landscape and river views. The formal sitting room centers around an oversized stone-adorned wood-burning fireplace, while the contemporary gourmet kitchen balances sculptural design with exceptional functionality. Highlights include matte quartz countertops, a custom glass-topped island with copper detailing, paneled Sub-Zero refrigeration, six-burner Viking range, iridescent backsplash, wine refrigeration, refrigerated drawers, Bosch dishwasher, Franke sink, built-in microwave, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry with additional storage. Accordion doors open the dining area directly into a four-season stone-floor patio overlooking the grounds and riverfront setting beyond. Additional gathering spaces include an expansive family room with oversized windows, surround sound, iron stair railings, and a striking frosted glass window wall that balances light with artistic expression. Upstairs, additional bedrooms feature custom closet systems and beautifully finished baths, including one ensuite. The Owner's Suite occupies its own private wing introduced by a library complete with wet bar, wood-burning fireplace, and access to an additional four-season room overlooking the gardens. Inside the suite, river views take center stage alongside window seats, dual dressing closets, a spacious bath with soaking tub, extended dual vanity, and walk-in shower. A spiral staircase ascends to a third-level office, fitness space, and flexible bonus area surrounded by elevated river views. The lower level offers extensive storage, a wine storage wall, heated garage space with workshop potential, central vacuum, whole house generator, and three-zone HVAC. Outside, the estate unfolds into an extraordinary private compound with extensive landscaping, irrigation system, fencing, resort-style heated saltwater pool, hot tub, and a fully equipped cabana featuring a bar, refrigeration, sink, television, outdoor shower, and covered lounge seating. Completing the offering is a beautifully designed guest cottage showcasing a fireplace, full kitchen with matte quartz surfaces, live-edge bar seating, covered patio, two spacious bedroom suites, and an additional upper-level retreat with flexible living space. Rarely does a property combine this level of architectural distinction, riverfront access, privacy, and walkability in the heart of Bucks County. Discover the ultimate lifestyle that awaits at River Soleil.
