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 5 bay garage add convenience to this comfortable vintage home. |
