The evidence is everywhere from the unusually generous room sizes, plentiful closets, handsome millwork, and a floor plan intended to impress as much as it was meant to function. Nearly three centuries of history come together in this remarkable River Road residence dating to the mid-1700s, with thoughtful additions spanning the 1840s, 1900, and the 1970s. A gallery-style entrance hall establishes the scale of the interior and aligns with the gracious living room, where a fireplace, built-in bookcases, and deep window sills create a room of warmth and substance. French doors open into the sunroom beyond offering additional space for plants, overflowing parties and pleasant relaxation. Across the hall, the monumental dining room was clearly designed for entertaining. A commanding fireplace, glass-front cabinetry, rich trim, and a broad bow window add architectural depth and character. The adjacent kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, additional wall oven, convection microwave, and a walk-in pantry that also incorporates the laundry area. The family room offers a third fireplace, built-in shelving, and a fitted desk in a nook. A second entrance opens into a practical mudroom-style hall with access to the powder room. Two staircases rise through the house to six bedrooms spread across the upper floors. Each bedroom offers either two closets or a walk-in, an unexpected luxury in a house of this age. One bedroom opens to a delightful summer sleeping porch, while the primary bedroom features its own bow window and sits beside an updated bathroom. There is a second hall bath showcasing vintage tile. Two bedrooms occupy the third floor, along with a substantial hall storage closet. The property spans more than two acres, with open lawn, mature surroundings, and a barn-style garage that includes workshop space, a usable upper level, and a side carport. Set along one of the area’s most scenic roads, the property is within the Hopewell school system and offers easy access to Lambertville and New Hope. Rich in history yet remarkably livable, this is a house whose architecture still speaks clearly of the ambitions that shaped it.
