Carriage House of New Hope

Kevin bought this property in the Spring of 2012 and presented the deed to me on my birthday of that year. He brought me to the backyard and showed me the historical information he had about the property and said “Happy Birthday!”

The humor here is, the building was falling down, trees growing out of the windows, floors soft and squishy, ceilings drooping so you had to lower your head to avoid hitting them, rooftop collapsing with holes all over, poison ivy all over the property, not fit for the rodents that had taken residence in this space. He talked about wanting to restore one of the oldest buildings in the borough back to something that the people of the town could use and be proud of. He thought it would be something we could do together.

This was the birthday present.

Kevin and I, along with Anne Lafriniere and a team of talented people, have spent the last three years transforming the falling down property into this space that we have grown to love. We have tried not to compete with the beautiful views of the Delaware river and the waterfall and the natural scenery out the windows. We have tried to compliment the scenery with luxury and comfort. We hope you enjoy this space as much as we do.
