Property Description
Welcome to the iconic and enchanting Pumpkin Seed Cottage. Nestled along the picturesque Delaware Canal, this magical property offers a serene and captivating setting. Steeped in history, this charming 1800s cottage was once the home of renowned impressionist painter Mary Elizabeth Price, who named the property Pumpkin Seed during her residence from the 1920s through the mid-1960s. The home is a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern-day amenities, thoughtfully updated with exceptional craftsmanship. Original details such as exposed beams, hardwood floors, two fireplaces, and custom built-ins create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The sun-drenched, gourmet eat-in kitchen is a standout feature, boasting vaulted ceilings, a center island with a built-in wine refrigerator and custom stone countertop, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, a Wolf oven and gas range with vented hood, custom cabinetry with built-in pantry, and a cozy gas fireplace. French doors open to a wraparound deck complete with a built-in grill, granite countertops, and a hot tub. From the deck, follow a pathway to a European-inspired stone patio - a perfect spot to gather around the firepit and enjoy a crisp fall evening. The outdoor spaces are ideal for entertaining or relaxing. The grounds also feature an enclosed vegetable garden, a firewood storage shed, and a spacious storage area beneath the deck. The main level includes a stunning great room with a stone wood-burning fireplace, exposed beams, hardwood floors, and built-ins, as well as a stylish powder room for guests. There are three en-suite bedrooms, one on each level, offering privacy and flexibility. The main-level primary suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams, a wood-paneled accent wall, a walk-in closet with built-ins, additional closets and storage, and a luxurious bathroom with a marble vanity and tiled, glass-enclosed shower. Upstairs, a second en-suite bedroom offers a cathedral ceiling, charming window seats, and a custom wood door that opens to a balcony overlooking the kitchen. A sliding barn door provides access to the private, updated bathroom. The walkout lower level features the third en-suite bedroom (currently used as an office and den) with a large picture window showcasing bucolic views. This level also includes an updated full bathroom, laundry room, and mechanical room with updated systems. Additional features include a whole-house generator and a newer cedar shake roof with copper gutters. Enjoy direct access to the Delaware Canal for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing, or take a stroll or bike ride along the scenic towpath. Just a short walk to the vibrant towns of New Hope and Lambertville, you'll find boutiques, restaurants, festivals, and live performances at the Bucks County Playhouse. Conveniently located near Routes 202 and 263 with an easy commute into New Jersey. Whether you're seeking a serene waterfront retreat or a distinctive full-time residence, Pumpkin Seed Cottage offers a rare blend of history, charm, and modern comfort.
