1130 river road

Outstanding location, Delaware river and canal views, mid-century modern and retro vibe, privacy, ambiance, serenity, and beauty…this property has it all. Sitting back from the road on a gentle slope, this unique ranch house has two levels of finished living space that total more than 4,000 sf. Step inside from the porch into a delightful foyer used as a library/sitting area. An adjoining room is now used as an office. Options for use include another bedroom and even a professional office w/waiting room. An enormous great room is the highlight of this home and includes a spacious dining room. The wall of windows further distinguish this exceptional home. Light, bright, and fabulous sunsets over the river gives this area a warm afternoon glow. The large, eat-in kitchen is a gathering place with lots of cabinetry, countertops, and wall space to use for your personal style. Three bedrooms, one with a cedar closet and all with morning light and a full bathroom with linen closet, complete the main level. From the kitchen is a door to the side of the property and another to downstairs. Mimicking the space on the main level is a finished basement that is like a separate home. Great space, endless possibilities. This level has a laundry room w/cedar closet, drop down ironing board, and a Bilco door with four steps up to the exterior. The kitchen is set up for appliances, the bathroom has a shower, and there is an enormous open recreation area with high ceiling, a wet bar, and a walk-in storage room that would be perfect for use as a wine cellar. A large unfinished area is used for storage and workspace and completes this amazing level. Some of the updates are newer roof, A/C, attic insulation, water heater, well pump, French drain w/sump pump, and patio. Outside is as wonderful as inside! Beautiful landscaping and amenities include multiple sitting areas, lawns, and a paver patio. Mature trees, flowering shrubs, evergreens, perennials, an herb garden, and an impressive fenced and screened vegetable garden that includes fig trees, blueberries, and grape vines. And don’t miss the clothesline. The location is one of the property’s greatest features. Close to Trenton airport and train stations, I-295 is 2 minutes away, recreation, dining and shopping in multiple close proximity towns, and a half mile stroll or bike ride to the entrance to the D&R Canal State Park and the bike path. There’s even a walking path behind the house to Banchoff Park w/dog park. Fabulous restaurants, including one that is a two minute walk from the property, and a 15 minute drive or bike ride to Washington Crossing, New Hope, Lambertville, Stockton and other fabulous towns in NJ and Bucks County. If you love nature, convenience, tranquility, and a one-of-a-kind house, this one will make your heart sing. Welcome home!
