If privacy and outdoor space are important to you, look no further than this modern fairytale cottage in the woods. Situated off a quiet country road amongst working farms with a long, private driveway flanked by tall trees and woods, this sweet 3-bedroom, 1-story cottage/rancher comes into view at the end of the lane. Surrounded by over 6 private acres, this is one-of-a-kind property with beautiful mature trees and even some secret mushroom picking spots. The area offers myriad things to do if you like to stay active: horseback riding, kayaking, tubing, hiking and biking are just a few of the many outdoor activities that you can find nearby. Lambertville, New Hope and the Delaware River are just minutes away offering shopping, world-class restaurants, art galleries and local theater and so much more. The brick front porch welcomes you and is a great spot for your morning java while watching the local wildlife lazily stroll by. Enter through the formal living room finished with beautiful hardwood floors which also run throughout most of the home. A nice bay window offers verdant views next to a formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen. The expansive kitchen can become whatever you need it to be gourmet, modern, country or stay as-is. The large family room has a wood burning fireplace and sliding glass door to a rear yard, a perfect spot for a back patio. A wide hallway leads to the bedrooms and the 2 full baths. The main bedroom has its own bath and a walk-in closet, while the other two share the hall bath. A full walkout basement with its own wood burning stove is a great space for a workshop, gym equipment or just storage. This area could be finished to offer more everyday living space for a home office, play room or other recreational use. No matter your work schedule or play schedule, this property is only a 90-minute commute to Manhattan or 60 minutes to Philadelphia. Dont feel like driving? The trains are 20 minutes away and the Manhattan bus stop is literally just minutes away. If you are serious about wanting peace and quiet, this home is the place for you. Some of the rooms has been virtually staged to open your imagination.
