Property Description

A rare opportunity to acquire one of New Hope’s most architecturally significant landmark properties, prominently situated at 15 South Main Street in the heart of the borough’s vibrant downtown. Rich in history and distinguished by its commanding presence, this extraordinary property offers a compelling combination of grandeur, sophisticated hospitality, and exceptional commercial potential. Dating to 1873, the building was originally constructed as the New Hope Methodist Episcopal Church, showcasing remarkable Gothic Revival architecture. Its striking sandstone exterior, soaring ceilings, magnificent stained-glass windows, and impressive architectural detailing have been thoughtfully preserved, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance and unmistakable character. Following more than a century as a place of worship, the property underwent a remarkable transformation into a premier dining destination, first as the celebrated Marsha Brown’s restaurant and subsequently as Oldestone Steakhouse. Today, the interior presents an extraordinary hospitality setting where historic craftsmanship meets contemporary sophistication. Dramatic chandeliers, expansive dining spaces, original architectural elements, and a distinctive third-floor lounge contribute to an ambiance rarely found in commercial properties. Ideally positioned along New Hope’s highly sought-after Main Street corridor, the property benefits from its exceptional location within one of the region’s most celebrated destinations for fine dining, boutique shopping, arts, culture, and tourism. Just steps from the Delaware River and minutes from Lambertville, New Jersey, this landmark address enjoys proximity to the affluent communities of Bucks and Hunterdon counties while drawing visitors from the greater Philadelphia and New York metropolitan markets. The offering includes furniture, fixtures, equipment, and the liquor license, presenting an opportunity for an investor, restaurateur, or hospitality group to establish a presence in an iconic New Hope location. An exceptional offering distinguished by its architectural heritage, irreplaceable location, and established hospitality identity, 15 South Main Street represents a unique opportunity to become the next steward of one of New Hope’s most recognizable historic properties.
