There may be no other area of the United States with as much historic, stone architecture as Bucks County, Pennsylvania. That's what people usually move here for: to experience the richness of life in an antique, fieldstone house. Or not. An agent in our New Hope real estate office, Kevin Steiger, recently made a sage observation: Contemporary homes have been some of the best sellers thus far in 2009.
Kurfiss SIR started the trend in late 2008, selling Chill Hill in Solebury Township, one of the area's finest midcentury homes. Then, Hellen Cannon in our New Hope office arranged a deal for a hilltop contemporary home above Fleecydale Road (one of the area's most scenic roads) in Solebury. Next, a Prudential office put another modernist masterpiece in Solebury underagreement. All of these were priced between $1.4 million and $1.9 million. This is noteworthy in part because there simply are not that many midcentury or contemporary homes in our area.
We're not sure if this trend has legs, but we're happy to report we recently have listed some Dwell magazine-worthy clean-lined houses, including this one set way off the road in Stockton, N.J., and this one in Point Pleasant, Pa. high above the Delaware River.
