3584 River Road

Description

A view for all seasons! Welcome to 3584 River Rd. Captivating river views strike you immediately upon arrival and are continued and captured from so many inviting living spaces inside this special home. Perched on an unusual rise high above the Delaware River and Canal (such that flood insurance is NOT required) in the quaint, picturesque village of Lumberville, this wonderful home offers the opportunity to live in and love everything about the natural beauty of Bucks County. Built circa 1845 to the best of our knowledge, the charm is intact with beautiful hardwood floors, two front entries from the front courtyard allowing access directly to both the living room and eat-in kitchen, two wood burning fireplaces and windows positioned to capture the amazing views. On the main floor, both the large front to back living room and dining room offer magnificent picture window views of the river, opposite bank, part of a state park where no houses can be built, and rolling New Jersey hills beyond. The kitchen allows space for bistro dining, abundant cabinetry and gas (propane) cooking. The lower grade level is home to an expansive family room/ library with fireplace, wall to wall built in shelves and access to the inviting screened porch with exposed stone walls and of course...those views. A full bath and spacious laundry room with 2nd rear exit complete this level. The upper level includes 3 bedrooms, 2 with river views, 2 full, sizable bathrooms, and a step in hallway closet. Outside, a wonderful garden area and flat patio and rear yard area head down to the Delaware Canal that runs parallel to the river just beyond the tow path. Parking has been strategically situated with a 3 car parking pad adjacent to the front entry, and a whole house generator providing added security. Just north and a pleasant walk into the village, is access to the canal tow path and the historic footbridge to Bull's Island, a popular state park. This is another jewel as it is only accessible by foot or bike and is a nature lover's, fisherman's, walker/hiker/camper's delight. The village of Lumberville enjoys an ambiance all its own. Home to the pre-Revolutionary War era Black Bass Hotel and Restaurant and the quaint Lumberville General Store, both within pleasing walking distance, it is easy for homeowners in this fabulous river town to become part of a welcoming community if they so desire. Enjoy the beauty of Bucks County river village life with ready access to the art, restaurants, shopping and fun of nearby New Hope, Lahaska, Doylestown, Lambertville, Stockton and Frenchtown. Major thoroughfares are nearby for commuters to NYC, Phila or Princeton. Beauty and joy await! Quick settlement possible. NOTE: 2 additional parking spaces can be created with removal of front fence.
