Tons of Victorian Charm in this cheerful 1925 beauty! They don't make them like this anymore! The amazing craftmanship put into this home starts right from the moment you step onto the wrap around porch into the wood paneled foyer with original chandelier, through the pocket doors following the wood flooring that flows throughout the whole house. Large, accented windows bring the sunshine in! The inviting country kitchen features an additional back staircase to the upstairs and a sweet covered back...Tons of Victorian Charm in this cheerful 1925 beauty! They don't make them like this anymore! The amazing craftmanship put into this home starts right from the moment you step onto the wrap around porch into the wood paneled foyer with original chandelier, through the pocket doors following the wood flooring that flows throughout the whole house. Large, accented windows bring the sunshine in! The inviting country kitchen features an additional back staircase to the upstairs and a sweet covered back porch for 'coffee thinking'. There is a formal dining room with butler door and pocket doors that lead to the cozy sitting room with a fireplace. The living room can be completely closed off for privacy. There is also a 'bonus' room that has been used as a library/office but could easily be an additional bedroom for downstairs needs. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs with a newly remodeled full bathroom with a closeted washer/dryer room for easy access. Heading outside you will find a large yard where you can enjoy a stroll around multiple perennial flower beds, herb and vegetable gardens. Rock in the hammock as you gaze at the surrounding mountains while listening to the birds and the faint sounds of music floating up from the town square. Other features include a 2-car garage with attached workshop and covered patio; spacious attic wired with electric for future expansion. Many practical updates including blown in insulation and newer windows ensuring a lower energy bill. Just a short walk to the restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, a library, the bustling town square and the crystal-clear Delaware River! This is a perfect house to enjoy small-town living! Put you loving touches on it and make it your own!
