Mature specimen trees, flourishing gardens, and a sweeping meadow frame the residences with an air of timeless grandeur and pastoral elegance—offering privacy, beauty, and a sense of permanence that is difficult to replicate.Ideally suited for multigenerational living, this estate reflects the highest standard of stewardship and a rare sense of legacy. Whether you envision extended family life, visiting guests, or a distinctive retreat designed for hosting, the property’s thoughtful configuration provides comfort, flexibility, and character throughout. Positioned just moments from Washington Crossing State Park, the canal towpath, and the historic crossing site, the home also enjoys convenient proximity to New Hope, Philadelphia, Princeton, and New York City.1789 Wrightstown Road is not merely a residence, but a landmark estate where history, luxury, and significance converge—inviting you to experience an exceptional chapter of American heritage in refined, living form.****The bedroom count reflects 4 bedrooms in the Stone Manor home and 2 bedrooms in the carriage home, The bathrooms reflect 4 full in manor, 2 full n carriage, 1 full in Bank barn, 1 half in Manor, 1 half in carriage .
