About this home

Where Old World romance meets the timeless beauty of New Hope, 3052 River Road stands as one of the Delaware Valley’s most exceptional waterfront estates. Originally designed by acclaimed architect William Lawrence Bottomley and comprehensively renovated in 2016, this 5,844-square-foot European-inspired villa is privately set on seven manicured acres. A rare find along the Delaware River, the property boasts 586 feet of pristine river frontage alongside additional private frontage on both sides of the historic canal. A Belgian block driveway leads to a grand motor court and a striking three-tier fountain. Inside, the home blends grand proportions with intimate warmth, anchored by original 1920s parquet floors, rich oak flooring, and sweeping water views. The gracious living room features a built-in wet bar, while the formal dining room is illuminated by a custom Venetian chandelier. At the heart of the estate, the chef’s kitchen pairs premium granite countertops with two massive islands equipped with multiple sinks and dishwashers—a masterpiece designed for effortless, grand-scale entertaining. This exceptional hub flows into a dramatic glass conservatory overlooking the river. An abundance of natural light fills the river room, where nine sets of French doors open to a private outdoor oasis. Here, you'll find a newly resurfaced, heated saltwater pool and spa, a pool house complete with a full bath, laundry, grill, and sauna, an outdoor shower, and a vine-covered pergola designed for al fresco dining. The upper level offers two spacious ensuite bedrooms, a mahogany-paneled study, and a luxurious primary suite complete with a gas fireplace, Juliet balconies, a marble bath, and panoramic river views. Perfect for extended family or staff, a separate guest wing with its own private entrance offers two additional ensuite bedrooms. A three-car garage and a large side courtyard complete the estate buildings. The grounds feature manicured hedges, vibrant gardens, and a secret artesian pond with a private dock. For the ultimate lifestyle convenience, take a scenic ten-minute stroll across the canal bridge and along the towpath into Stockton, NJ, for fine dining and the renowned Stockton Inn and Market. Located just minutes from the heart of New Hope and Lambertville, this estate offers a distinct financial advantage for out-of-state buyers looking to utilize Pennsylvania's highly favorable flat income tax structure. Furthermore, to accommodate an immediate and effortless transition, the home’s nearly-new, curated Restoration Hardware furnishings are available by separate negotiation. Conveniently located 90 minutes from New York City, 60 minutes from Philadelphia, and 40 minutes from Princeton, 3052 River Road is a turn-key legacy estate of rare natural beauty, provenance, and permanence.
