12 CANAL STREET

One of the best locations in all of New Hope! 3 balconies all overlook the Delaware River Canal and you can see the Bucks County Playhouses glisten during the evenings. Before you notice anything else, you notice the light. It pours through the custom oversized windows and fills the kitchen and great room, and when inside and looking outside through the walls of windows, the landscape feels like part of the house: green trees, open sky, and the quiet line of the Delaware Canal. You'll find yourself stopping in the doorway, taking a slow breath, and feeling the day get a little calmer.
Mornings here are slow on purpose. Sun comes across the floors while the coffee brews, and the windows show the canal and trees waking up in soft gold light. The towpath fills with early walkers, herons glide over the water, and you start your day with a view most people only find on vacation. Take a morning stroll along the canal and walk through town to grab coffee either in New Hope OR just over the bridge in Lambertville! When evening comes, the same windows hold the sunset until the sky goes dark.

There is room to breathe here, inside and out. Three private terraces, including one off the primary suite, give you somewhere to sip your first coffee, read in the afternoon, or have a glass of wine under the stars. A private back yard adds even more quiet. The fully finished walk-out lower level opens straight to the outdoors, and an elevator connects every floor from the lower level to the second floor, so the whole home is easy to live in.

Then there's the life just past your front door. Park in your full two-car garage and leave the car there. Restaurants, galleries, the Bucks County Playhouse, and the bridge to Lambertville are all an easy walk away. You can launch a kayak right from the community or walk the towpath at dawn, and come home to a residence where the association takes care of exterior upkeep, so you can lock the door and go whenever you like. Having guests over?? No problem! This development HAS PARKING! AND, with the HOA, the ENTIRE exterior is covered in your VERY LOW monthly HOA fee. It also includes exterior flood insurance although the unit has never seen an ounce of water!

Canal Street is a private enclave of just 19 homes built by George E. Michael, known for craftsmanship and attention to detail, in what may be the best location in New Hope Borough. This is more than a home with a beautiful view. It's a new way to start every day.
