Property Description
Come Enjoy A Little Piece Of Heaven! One of the prettiest waterfront homes, this majestic, (Circa 1740) lovely, stone country home, with separate carriage house, is the ideal weekend retreat! The captivating backdrop of the Delaware river, with unobstructed panoramic views, makes this hidden gem the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, in a quaint Bucks County town. Beyond the gated entrance, the aura of yesteryears comes alive. The home is a perfect blend of historic charm including high ceilings, original yellow pine flooring, 4 functioning fireplaces, tall sash windows and modern amenities, such as central air (New Unit 2020), 200 AMP electrical service (with all light switches using rheostats allowing you to set the lighting level), a water purification system, house generator (gas), updated appliances, and maintenance free gutters (with all gutters approved to drain into the canal). The main house has three full levels of living space with water views from many rooms. The ambiance begins the minute you walk through the doors of this premier home. The grand formal living room offers high ceilings, walk-in fireplace, beautiful pine floors and plenty of natural light. The main floor living space continues with a cozy parlor with fireplace, powder room, separate dining room, and kitchen. The updated kitchen offers granite counters, Vermont slate flooring, and stainless steel appliances. Just outside the kitchen, relax with a morning cup of "Joe" on the porchula (a covered area, 1/2 open pergola, 1/2 under roof), while enjoying the seasonal views of the outdoor space. The flow of the main level makes entertaining easy, with outdoor access to several patios and to the large screened in porch, with river views. A turned staircase leads you to the 2nd and 3rd bedroom quarters. The master bedroom suite is quite spacious and includes a full bath, fireplace and a sitting area, a great spot to enjoy a little quiet time. A full guest bath, spare bedroom and laundry room complete the 2nd floor. The versatile third floor space offers captivating views of the river and is quite large with dormer windows, window seating, built-in book shelves and generous closet space. Adding a shower to the existing third floor powder room could make this area a 2nd master suite, if needed. Outside, separated by a lovely courtyard with working fountain, is the picturesque carriage house, consisting of the garage spaces and private studio. Once the original "smokehouse", the studio has a functional walk-in fireplace with beautiful cypress flooring, an antique chandelier, ceiling fan and a new window, providing great views of the towpath and river. This home also has a basement with outside entry. Privacy abounds with the recent addition of a sound resistant composite faux stone fence, along the front of the home. The lush landscaped property is graced with formal boxwood gardens, flowering shrubs, stately trees, and perennial plantings. The pristine river setting and towpath, surrounded by stone walls, stone walkways, patios and the "whimsical" exterior lighting throughout the grounds, makes this a truly magical place to call home! Zoned VC, additional possibilities exist for the use of this property. Steel enforced concrete canal wall installed in 1995. Within walking distance to the Black Bass Hotel and Lumberville general store. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, walking and biking along the towpath or take the beautiful ride along the river for a bit to downtown New Hope & Lambertville. Easy commute to NYC, Phila, Jersey Shore, and the Poconos. Affordable PA taxes.
