On the River just south of New Hope, this impressive piece of history has been carefully updated with today's conveniences, giving thoughtful consideration in keeping the charm and character of yesteryear intact. Registered as "Pidcock's Tavern" with the Heritage Conservancy, the earliest records reveal a modest settler's house in 1720, later operating as a mill, then as a tavern from 1799 to 1838. The original part of the home now serves as the Tavern Room and acts as the center of the residence with a floor-to-ceiling stone walk-in fireplace with brick hearth and stained lintel, and high exposed beam ceiling. The Dining Room offers another fireplace with wood stove, exposed beams and tin ceilings, and Vermont slate floors. The Kitchen features Wood-mode custom cabinetry, Brazilian Mariachi natural stone counters with slate tile backsplash, a farmhouse sink and undercabinet lighting. A Parlor with hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace and a full bathroom with whirlpool tub may also serve as a guest suite on the main level. The second floor is home to three suites, including the master bedroom. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom and staircases. On the third floor you will find a large walk-in closet and Sitting Room for quiet contemplation while watching the river roll by. The 2-story stone barn now serves as a detached oversized 2-car garage. Upstairs a Studio/Game Room with second-story deck hosts the perfect view of miles of the Delaware River and the historic canal and tow path. Gardens are mingled throughout the the 18th century mill site. Quite possibly the very first pool in Solebury Twp. was fashioned here, using the abandoned railroad trestles and cascading hillside stream to form this mud-bottomed swimming hole. Flagstone patios surround the North and West sides of the home, while a covered Mahogany porch off of the Tavern Room faces the South where attention is drawn to the architectural stone features and waterfall. Don't miss your opportunity to own a piece of Bucks County history, where you will enjoy spectacular year round views of the water and hills beyond the opposite shore. Conveniently located to New York, Philadelphia and Princeton.
