Property Description
This stunning home with Georgian and Federal influences is once more available to a discerning buyer with an appreciation of the home's historic provenance. Noted as the oldest residence in Bristol Borough, with dates of 1741 and 1765, the residence underwent a large scale renovation/addition in 2009. Sitting on a gentle rise overlooking the Delaware River, this lovely home offers panoramic views of the river from most rooms and has a private beach. The original house on the north side consisted of one room and a second floor room. Later addition consisted of the main hallway, living and dining rooms and the bedrooms on second and third floors. The floors in the living and dining rooms have been refinished as well as the foyer and an upstairs bedroom. Later additions opened up the house so that windows were oriented to face the river. A traditional floorplan with exceptional open space allows for comfortable modern lifestyle while paying homage to the historic pedigree of the house. This is achieved by exposing brick walls, use of decorative plaster molding around ceiling fixtures, maintaining original box locks,and decorative mantels with pilasters and swag motifs. The kitchen addition features a wall of windows overlooking the bluestone patio and yard. A family room with working fireplace is adjacent to the kitchen and features a brick wall - the former exterior of the house - with interior windows intact. Kitchen has shaker styled cabinetry with cooktop, wall ovens , built in refrigerator, and bar sink with elliptical window above the sink. Another room, used by the current owners as the main dining room features stunning coffered ceiling with beadboard inserts, custom wall sconces - overlooking the kitchen and affords unobstructed river views. The office, with private entrance - can be used as a flex space - is part of the original structure and was the original kitchen. A working fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere. A powder room off of this space completes the first floor. The second floor features three bedrooms, including the main bedroom with a private bath - probably a converted sleeping porch - and a walk in closet. A hall bath and two additional bedrooms complete the second lever. The third floor features the spacious laundry room and a fourth bedroom. The two car garage is an added bonus for this lovely property. The yard is large for in-town living and features a stairway to the beach below. An added bonus for this riverfront property -- no flood insurance required!
