See separate list of extensive updates! A rare offering of heritage, privacy, and timeless design—set on over 3 acres and surrounded by preserved land within Washington Crossing State Park—this circa 1730 farmhouse is a property that simply cannot be replicated today. Blending historic character with modern updates, this one-of-a-kind property offers a peaceful lifestyle in a truly special setting. Tucked along a quiet, no-outlet road and approached by a long, newly paved drive, the property provides exceptional privacy and a serene natural backdrop. Inside, the 2,700+ square-foot home balances authenticity with livability. Original details—hand-hewn beams, wide-plank floors, period moldings, original Jersey winders, and working stone fireplaces—anchor the home in its past, while thoughtful updates bring ease to everyday life. The home features 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a finished attic, with a spacious layout enhanced by structural improvements. At the heart of the home, the bright, sunlit kitchen has been refreshed and complemented by high-end appliances, including GE Café ovens. The kitchen sink also has reverse osmosis. The kitchen opens naturally into generous living and entertaining spaces designed for gathering. Beyond its beauty, the home has been extensively improved for long-term performance and peace of mind, including structural reinforcement (2019), upgraded insulation, lead remediation, updated mechanical systems, new well, and central air. Every investment reflects a respect for the home’s heritage and a focus on enduring quality. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a new back deck (2020), fenced backyard, newly paved driveway (2026), and updated gutters (2022). A whole-house generator ensures year-round reliability. A sun-filled, four-season sunroom addition (2020), complete with heating and air conditioning, offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape—an ideal setting for quiet mornings, creative work, or year-round entertaining. With direct access to the trails and preserved beauty of Washington Crossing State Park, this is more than a home—it is a private estate experience, offering a level of character, land, and tranquility that stands apart from today’s new construction. Properties of this kind—set within protected parkland—rarely come to market. For the buyer seeking authenticity, craftsmanship, and a setting that cannot be duplicated, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
