17 old river rd

Built in 1836, this three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath colonial is set along one of the most private roads in Hunterdon County, directly on the Delaware River and within walking distance to the Riegelsville boat access. With river frontage at your doorstep, outdoor recreation is part of everyday life. Fish, kayak, tube, or walk down to the water and enjoy the changing seasons. Bald eagles are a familiar sight, often seen right from the front of the home. An expansive outdoor patio creates the perfect setting for gathering, dining, or simply taking in the river views and surrounding landscape. A one-car garage adds everyday convenience without taking away from the home's historic character. Inside, original wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, and period details reflect the home's early history while creating warm, comfortable living spaces. The main level offers functional gathering areas with an upgraded kitchen, while the three bedrooms provide quiet retreats at the end of the day. An oversized walk up attic can be finished or used for more storage. The home works equally well as a full-time residence or a second home for those looking to escape the pace of daily life without giving up accessibility. Private, riverfront, and rich in character, this is a rare opportunity to own a Delaware River property that balances history, outdoor living, and everyday comfort. If you love nature, privacy, and homes with a true sense of place, this property is worth experiencing in person.
