In a quaint river town best known for its Roebling suspension bridge
(builder of the Brooklyn Bridge), this Victorian home with wrap-around
porch overlooks the Delaware canal.
Lose yourself to nostalgia while
strolling along the towpath into town. The double front door brings
you into a home with many original features, from the skeleton keys to
a pair of lamps attached to the mantle...from an Indian head carving in
the bathroom to the half-wall and pillar divider with a glass door
bookcase leading from the living room to the parlor. An art glass
Tiffany-style shade hangs in the formal dining room.
Plaster walls with tall ceilings, wood floors and the most amazing angled bay window
on both stories brings you back to the days when pride in workmanship
was everywhere. A pie-shaped staircase suggests even more antiquity,
while straight stairs lead you up from the foyer to a huge second
floor sitting room flanked by four bedrooms.
You can stand full-height in the walk-up attic with its shuttered attic windows; this could be
converted into more living or studio space if ever needed.
Off-street parking and a five bay garage add convenience to this comfortable
vintage home.
