Surrounded by nature and thoughtfully curated inside and out, this peaceful hillside contemporary on over 4 acres offers a rare sense of beauty, balance, and retreat. Reimagined in 2008, the owner, together with an exceptional architect, contractor, gardener, and landscape designer, created this true respite. The home embraces openness, clean design, and feng shui principles, with an uninterrupted flow between interior and exterior spaces that foster harmony with the natural environment, light, and solitude. Spanning three thoughtfully designed levels, this contemporary retreat offers flexibility and connection to its natural surroundings. The lower-level functions as a potential guest or extended living space featuring a spacious great room with tile floor, a propane fireplace, wet bar with bar refrigerator, full bath, laundry, mechanicals and direct access to the garage and a tranquil Japanese garden. The main level is centered around open-concept living and entertaining, with a cook's kitchen flowing seamlessly into the dining area. Rich wood floors and a woodstove create warmth and atmosphere, while the carpeted living room is wrapped in windows and opens to an expansive 12x50 deck with distant views. Three bedrooms complete this level, one with a half bath, along with a beautifully appointed hall bath and inviting foyer that leads to the stone terrace, waterfall and gardens. Privately positioned on the upper level, the primary suite serves as a peaceful sanctuary with a spa-like bath, bamboo floor, and office/sitting room, creating the perfect balance of retreat and functionality. The hall and Primary baths have radiant heat flooring. Exceptional materials were carefully selected throughout for the baths and kitchen, including limestone, marble, porcelain, hammered nickel, glass tile, quartz, stone, honed granite, and Italian terra-cotta, creating a timeless blend of warmth, texture, and sophistication. Well-designed amenities include a sculpted concrete waterfall, extensive exterior landscape lighting, south-facing windows protected with UV screening, complete deer fencing, a security gate, a 220-volt electric car charger, a 20-kW generator and a comprehensive security system with interior and exterior cameras. Situated in Erwinna, Bucks County, the property is just minutes from a classic covered bridge and the scenic Delaware River, canal and towpath. Nearby, residents enjoy the open landscapes of Tinicum Park, while the eclectic river town of Frenchtown, with its vibrant restaurants, independent shops and the contemporary arts hub ArtYard, offers cultural and community just minutes away. A remarkable property where thoughtful design, privacy and natural beauty exist in perfect harmony.
