Property Description
Welcome to Woolverton Hall! This home is surrounded by local history with partial views of the Delaware River and the Old Stone Mill of Prallsville. Built in 1795, it has many of the sought after characteristics of a large stone and frame home of the late 1700s but with the added convenience of today's necessities. Situated in the charming Borough of Stockton, a place where folks greet you by your first name in the local organic market. Stockton was raised on the banks of Delaware River and in early days it was a "Ferry" outpost for river crossings to PA before the Bridge was built. Stockton is just a short jaunt down the towpath from Woolverton Hall and is a great way to visit one of the restaurants in town. The home itself has a flexible floor plan which could easily change depending on your personal needs and wants. The entranceway is warm and spacious with ample closet space plus powder room, nook and mirror to check your hat, hair, and lipstick before you leave for the evening. The hallway features wide Pumpkin Pine floors that run throughout most of the home and lead you to the kitchen which offers a Viking stove, custom cabinets, and a deep Farm house sink. Around the corner, the office/library is a great spot for the latest read, work or enjoying the fireplace on a windy cold night - this room could also be used as a first-floor bedroom should the need arise. The dining room, which could easily host a large holiday gathering, is also intimate enough for a candlelit, romantic dinner for two. The heart of the home is the large family room with its high ceiling and ample natural light pouring in from the many large windows making this comfortable room a gathering space for all times of the day. The fireplace which features the rare art form of punched wood provides the framework that will draw your guest's attention and curiosity. The history tells us that this spacious room, was once used as both a post office and a general store. The second floor with three bedrooms in addition to the spacious master bedroom suite, big enough for a sitting room, fireplace, walk-in closet, and your own full bath. There is a third-floor standing room attic with ample space for storage or easily finished off to fit your needs. The lower level has been upgraded over the years - not the old "dirt" basement we recognize in many of these vintage homes. Clean and well lit best describes this level, and interestingly, the current owner has converted the period water cistern into a wine tasting room with ample space to enjoy a glass or two of Rioja, Merlot or Cabernet with a good book and maybe even a good cigar to get away from life upstairs. The gardens have been lovingly cared for over the years and planned to be almost "maintenance free" - perfect for the lazy gardeners that enjoy colorful flowering trees, shrubs, and plants throughout the season. Each time you wander through the garden, you find a new spot with details that you somehow mysteriously missed before - there are many nooks and quiet spots for the much-needed peace and reflection necessary in today's world - an irresistible invitation to create your own meditation garden. There are gazebos and a variety of patios that offer ample space for all your summer outdoor entertainment. The small barn would be a great artist studio or maybe a home office. The small barn was once home to chickens and small livestock but would be perfect for your own yoga studio, artist studio, home office or writing space. There is also a large space above the two-car garage with rough plumbing. It has its own entrance that is just waiting for your ideas and personal needs! This home is a perfect spot for your daily commute to most northeast connections by car, bus, and train. It is close enough to take in a last-minute early Broadway show, enjoy dinner and be back home in plenty of time before the pet sitter needs to leave.
