Listing description

The perfect Bucks County location - five minutes from the Delaware River and Canal, the Phillips Mill Historic District, the energy and convenience of New Hope-Lambertville, and major roads to New York and Philadelphia. Hilltop, a unique estate property, secluded from the road and perched high atop Ely Mountain, the panoramic view inspires and delights. Neighboring horse farms and private compounds, entertainment personalities, theater producers, and influencers. A 14-acre manicured property, sitting proud atop a wooded mountain, overlooking acres of manicured forest and pastureland, the sun-filled Mid-Century Modern home exudes a commanding presence radiating James Bond cool. The stone and wood-clad home commands long east and south facing views letting you watch the sun and morning fog rise above the Delaware, enjoy New Hope’s spectacular summer fireworks, and trace New Jersey’s majestic palisades, twinkling with dots of light after sunset. Four bedrooms, three baths, layout, with the lower level featuring a mud room and indoor access to the attached garage. The house has been completely modernized and renovated by its owner, a published NYC interior designer, who will include architectural plans to expand the open plan living-dining-kitchen, add a large back deck, expand the tuck-under garage, and build a new third story primary suite with sky deck, and options for a nursery and home office. Hilltop features period details like two native stone fireplaces, a pecky cypress feature wall in the entry foyer, and a deck off the living room for maximum enjoyment of the stunning view and changing seasons. Updated features include total exterior and interior renovation completed in 2021, state-of-the-art kitchen and laundry room appliances, HVAC heat pump (propane), larger windows and sliding doors, energy-efficient fireplace insert for lower level, and new finishes including a stone kitchen countertop with leathered finish and waterfall edge. Outdoor improvements include private driveway with in-ground water management system, smart driveway gate, boulder walls, bluestone front walk and backyard patio with fire pit (connected to central propane), under-deck garden storage, custom designed trapezoid shape heated salt water pool with sun shelf, large entertaining deck, deck jets, and heated outdoor shower with a spectacular view.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $52,080, well below the ~$302,120 its asking price implies at Bucks County's common level ratio (5.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $37,546/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($52,080, 1972 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Bucks County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
