62 OLD YORK ROAD

According to the Pennsylvania Historic Sites survey from 1978, "Built in the early 1870s, this single family dwelling and 15 of its neighbour structures remain of the 21 which existed in a mini village on the 'York Road' 100 years ago." This tiny slice of Old York Road spans the distance between Sugan Road and Bridge Street, and it feels a little bit lost in time, in a romantic way. Although the tax records state the house was built in 1919, this date in all likelihood reflects the kitchen addition in the rear, because the wide plank flooring in the original section demonstrates an earlier construction date. And so it proved, when we checked the archives. The house retains many of its original features, with six-over-six glass windows and clapboard siding. An inviting rocking chair front porch adds great curb appeal. The main floor primary bedroom with a little alcove features a bay window and its own wood-burning stove against a brick wall. Outside the kitchen screened porch, a brick patio overlooks a generous backyard with a large workshop in the rear. Property extends well beyond the fence into the wooded area overlooking Aquetong Creek. Although served by public water and sewer, you still have two outside spigots connected to the well, for watering your garden. You're just outside of the bustling center of New Hope, and still within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Property sold As-Is.
