New Hope was first called “Coryell’s Ferry,” after the owner of the ferry business. The current name came into use following a fire in 1790 that destroyed several mills in the area; their reconstruction was considered a “new hope.” The night prior to George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River, he is said to have lodged in New Hope. He destroyed the ferry so the British could not follow him, and after the battles of Trenton and Princeton, when British troops were sweeping the area for the American forces, there was no response when they rang for the ferry. The British assumed the town was sympathetic to the Colonial forces and shelled the town. We encourage you to learn all about the history, in addition to the many reasons to work and live here by visiting The Chamber of New Hope.

The pictures above are from areas surrounding New Hope. Filled with light, this kitchen features custom made cabinetry, Black walnut island countertop and true random width custom flooring made by local artisans. The introductory image is a space that once housed the kitchen for the stone farmhouse, that has been transformed into a comfortable sitting room complete with fireplace.

This project is one with the same appeal for New Hope. Showing only part of a large renovation and addition, the original stone structure required complete replacement of everything except the stone walls.

New Hope has its own unique appeal, and we cater to understanding how our customers wish all their remodeling needs are met. From inside and out, we want to beautify your entire home. This last project is one that would make any New Hope home become an envy of all showing a main bathroom is filled with soft colors, marble surfaces, and luxury amenities that perfectly reflect the owners’ taste and style.
