Swanmere Estate | Experience True Luxury This Sunday, 1–3 PM Some homes impress you. Others make you feel something the moment you arrive. Welcome to Swanmere Estate, an extraordinary private retreat in New Hope where exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design and natural beauty come together. Set on approximately three acres surrounded by additional privately maintained open space, this nearly 7,000-square-foot estate feels wonderfully secluded while remaining minutes from New Hope’s restaurants, galleries and charm. Originally built by renowned New Hope builder Peter Edwardson, Swanmere has been completely reimagined with refined materials, custom finishes and a focus on comfortable living. The soaring 22-foot foyer opens to beautifully proportioned living spaces, including a great room anchored by a dramatic two-story Bucks County stone fireplace and custom antique mantel. The chef’s kitchen features handcrafted cabinetry, Carrara marble, two leathered quartzite waterfall islands, paneled Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Wolf range, custom wine display and butler’s pantry. The private primary suite includes separate dressing rooms and a redesigned marble bath. Three additional bedroom suites, a spacious bonus room and a third-level guest retreat provide exceptional flexibility. A beautifully finished laundry and mudroom add everyday convenience. Outside, a new herringbone-pattern deck with seamless glass surround overlooks lush gardens and the pond. Covered living areas, an outdoor kitchen, walking trails and abundant wildlife create a peaceful setting for entertaining or unwinding. Private, peaceful and beautifully designed, Swanmere is a home meant to be experienced. Join us for an open house this Sunday from 1 to 3 PM.
