About 6103 Upper York Rd
This property stands out in the best possible way. Tucked into scenic Solebury and just moments from New Hope and Lambertville, it blends classic Bucks County character with thoughtful, modern enhancements to create a truly special offering for those who appreciate both heritage and design. The grounds feel like a private retreat, featuring a recently renovated pool, fenced areas ideal for pets, and a mix of outbuildings that expand the property's possibilities. A sizable two-story barn with a heated studio, office, and workshop invites creativity. An original stone smokehouse with electric, a second level and the original smoking hearth intact, offers many possibilities. Mature landscaping surrounds the home with something in bloom all summer long. A bluestone patio adjacent to the smokehouse with a covered pergola and outdoor lighting sets the stage for entertaining or quiet evenings outside, draped in Edison lights, and the pool area, framed by trellises, feels like your own secret hideaway. Inside, the home reflects its early 19th-century origins while embracing a refined, updated aesthetic. Rich details such as random-width pumpkin pine floors, original built-in cabinetry, a dramatic walk-in stone fireplace with a period mantel and stone hearth is perfectly located in the formal dining room, and intricate hand-carved accents remain intact. Throughout the home, the woodwork has been carefully restored and painted, adding a polished finish that complements the historic elements. Hidden behind hand carved barn-style doors in the living room is a library and media center, adjacent to the second wood-burning stone fireplace and original cabinetry from the early 1800’s. The kitchen offers a fresh, modern feel while maintaining its connection to the home’s character. It features premium stainless appliances, including a wine fridge, honed granite surfaces, gas stove with a vented hood and a seamless flow into the sunroom with new AC and custom shades. A smartly designed kitchen with a full-extension roll-out pantry for maximum storage and an adjacent mudroom with generous closet space. A clever pass-through between the cozy sunroom and kitchen is perfect for entertaining. The laundry wing and renovated full bathroom, with direct access to a pathway leading to the pool area is smartly done with a soapstone sink, fully tiled room with radiant heat placed in the walls completes the main level. Upstairs, three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation. One standout is a two-level suite with a home office below and a bedroom above, complete with cathedral ceilings and a skylight that brings in soft light. Just off this space is an oversized walk-in closet with built-ins, and a vision to convert it into an additional bathroom for those who may wish to expand. A large attic space is accessible from the walk-in closet area. Two additional bedrooms and a well-kept bath round out the second floor. A circular drive with a Belgian block entrance offers convenient parking in front, with additional off-street space accessible from Green Hill Road. Set in one of Bucks County’s most desirable locations, with easy access to New Hope, Peddler’s Village, Doylestown, and the Delaware River towns, this home offers a rare combination of history, craftsmanship, and updated living.
