Set along the quiet, storybook stretch of the Delaware River in Lumberville, Pennsylvania, this exquisitely restored circa-1875 residence offers a rare and deeply compelling retreat—where history, design, and nature converge in effortless harmony. A comprehensive renovation was undertaken in 2008 and has been recently updated, leaving the home in turn-key condition. As you enter through the unique front door, you are taken by the spacious living room providing plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing. The back wall consists of beautiful built-ins providing enough space for your favorite objects and treasured photographs and books. Surrounded by windows, you will enjoy natural light all day long and seasonal views of the Delaware River. Some historic architectural details of this home are the hardwood floors, some of which are irreplaceable old-world chestnut, found throughout. The reimagined kitchen is functional and features custom cabinetry, new stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and Silestone surfaces. It flows seamlessly into the breakfast room and onward to a cozy family room anchored by a stone-faced gas fireplace—an inviting space designed for relaxed weekends and intimate gatherings. Tucked discreetly within, a hidden door reveals a remarkable 100-bottle wine cellar—an unexpected and memorable feature for the discerning collector. On the second level, the large primary suite offers a luxurious feel with a unique layout and oversized closet. A welcome surprise is the back door that delivers you into the garden in a single step. The ensuite bath is large and spa-like with its radiant heat floor and new marble shower renovated in 2020. Two additional bedrooms, both with river views, share a beautifully tiled bathroom with tub shower. Traditional ceiling beams in one bedroom create a cozy feel so appropriate to the house. Outdoors, the property becomes truly special. Perennial and native gardens have been curated with intention—layered, organic, and ever-changing with the seasons. Bluestone terraces, a fenced patio, and a covered porch create multiple moments for dining, reading, or simply taking in the quiet rhythm of the river just beyond. This is a landscape designed not just to be seen, but experienced. For the nature seeker or the New York buyer seeking a tranquil escape, the setting is as compelling as the home itself. Just minutes away, the iconic Black Bass Hotel offers riverside dining with a legacy dating back to the 1740s—perfect for sunset dinners or weekend brunch. The beloved Lumberville General Store provides a charming stop for morning coffee or a casual bite, while nearby river towns like New Hope, Lambertville, Stockton and Frenchtown expand your options with upscale dining, galleries, and boutique shopping—all within a scenic drive. A truly special offering—one that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
