"Old House on the Delaware"
Durham
Another world awaits you on the other side of the bridge.

This secluded paradise on the Delaware River in Upper Bucks County is on a picturesque private island. Located between the canal and river and near the towpath, this small stone home features spectacular views from every vantage point. Dating from the early 1800s, the home and outbuildings are a study in rustic charm.

A cherry kitchen with river views and fireplace has wonderful cabinetry and built-ins that only enhance the original and antique artistry of the home. Step up into the cozy living room with exposed stonewalls and fireplace for another view. A covered front porch, perfect for rocking and watching the calm waters of the canal, is right outside the living room door. There are wide plank floors throughout, and deep windowsills for displaying treasures or sitting on a cushion and gazing outside. The downstairs powder room has exposed stonewalls and complementary fixtures.

Up the pie stairs are two snug bedrooms, one with a large walk-in closet. A large dressing area adjoins the master bath, and would make a wonderful sitting room, looking out on the river through glass double doors. A full attic is ready for renovation into an additional bedroom or study.

A private beach is ready for docking the rowboat, kiak or canoe you always wanted, for swimming, or for sitting on the bench, cloistered from the outside world, watching the river flow.

This is a property where you can stroll, relax, have peace and quiet - but is not so secluded when you need necessities (like a bottle of wine for your picnic). The property is an idyllic retreat … but also conveniently located and accessible to shopping, restaurants, and more - when and if you need them.
