Country Compound
Erwinna, Tinicum Township
This property is a country idyll up Geigle Hill Road from the quaint river town of Erwinna. On 6 acres, backing to 1200 acres of conserved lands, this eclectic antique home, the first Geigle house, circa 1801, is a showcase.

 

You enter the home through the original structure which is now a unique anteroom/gallery. A step down into the living room reveals banks of windows looking to the solarium, and then outside. Large windows with expansive views are featured in every room.

The centerpiece of the home is the solarium. A room with 3 walls of windows and skylights that looks out onto the stocked pond, which is home to four resident ducks and other local water fowl, and features a water spray. The property is sprinkled with areas of ornamental grasses and exquisite night lighting that will make evening entertaining imperative.

The home has a large fireplace in the living room and a wood stove in the dining room which has tile floors and original stonewalls, as well as beams in the ceiling. Upstairs in the bedroom areas is original wide plank flooring.

A brick patio and decking creates a compound effect within the property and connects the main home to the very private guesthouse equipped with all amenities. The driveway is off a private road helping to create this interlude in solitude. But convenience is right around the corner; just minutes north of New Hope, close to Frenchtown and convenient to New York and Philadelphia.
