Côte d'Azur - South of the river village of New Hope, PA, a quintessential stone manor house is sited on a raised plateau overlooking the Delaware River and the Delaware Canal. This stunning, all-stone villa, is reminiscent of the country villas found in Provence. This villa is known as Côte d'Azur. This 8,000-square-foot home is constructed of authentically cut stone culminating with the swirling stone and brick chimneys built by the 19th century stone masons. The home features 5 bedrooms, with the primary on the first level, and 5 full baths and two half baths. The interior features soaring room heights with magnificent walls of glass that look out on the 1.9 acres of Riverfront and Canal frontage. It is rare if you walk from one room to another without a view of the vibrant Delaware waters, The millwork throughout the home is astonishing...starting with the massive solid wood front door to the library with ornate mantel with twin carved lion surrounds on the fireplace mantle to the heavy wooden coffered ceiling. The Great room, with ceilings over 20 feet, terminates in a masterful coffered ceiling and grand chandelier. The nucleus of this room is the floor to ceiling window walls that make the Delaware River a living canvas. The Great Room moves seamlessly into the high-end kitchen featuring twin dishwashers, a built-in Miele cappuccino maker, and a Miele built-in steamer. The breakfast area is bathed in light and views of the river. The open concept of these two rooms provides the aesthetic design that is desired by today's buyers. The first-floor hallway leads to the elevator that services all floors, the utility and laundry rooms, and a very desirable first-floor home theater outfitted with 9 luxurious leather theater seats. The location of the home theater makes it more accessible for daily viewing than the usual awkward trip to the basement. Off of the main foyer and adjacent to the kitchen, is the banquet-sized dining room that is ideal for large family holiday gatherings. The beautifully designed butler's pantry provides extra storage and preparation areas and a wonderfully concealed ice maker. The upper-level houses the additional bedrooms and baths and are all of a generous size. The primary bedroom, located on the first floor, is awash with light and views of the River from the extensive glass walls. This bedroom boasts an opulent bathroom and an unusual and special closet/dressing room that reminds one of an exclusive Parisian dress shop. The current owners are in the process of building a state-of-the-art saltwater pool, spa, al fresco dining patio, additional parking, and room for a pickle ball court. In a world of center hall colonials, Côte d'Azur is more than an architectural masterpiece, but a study in craftsmanship and skill that rises above anything in today's market.
