1055 River Rd

Upper Black Eddy, PA 18972

Take a step back in time with this lovingly maintained 1840's farmhouse with breathtaking views of the majestic Delaware River on one side and the dramatic Pennsylvania Palisades on the other. With just under half an acre of land, maintenance is a breeze, but you get to enjoy uninterrupted views of acres and acres of preserved pastures and farmland. The home features high ceilings, original hardwood floors (beautifully refinished), a surprisingly large eat-in kitchen, an adjoining sunroom, a walk-in pantry, powder room, a formal dining room, an elegant living room, and a sunny office/study with cathedral ceilings, skylights and its own private entrance. Upstairs is a spacious principal bedroom, a full bath, and two additional bedrooms. The views from every window are absolutely beautiful. A full attic and an immaculately clean basement provide plenty of room for extra storage, plus the two-level barn with heater, water and electric is the perfect retreat for an extra office or workshop, or both (the current owner uses it as a pottery studio). It's just a six or seven minutes' walk to the Delaware Canal path, with its miles of trails for hiking, biking, horse-back riding, cross-country skiing and kayaking, and an even shorter walk to the bridge to Frenchtown, with fine shopping, award-winning restaurants, yoga studios, bookstore, and world-class art galleries. The home is NOT in the 100-year flood zone and includes more than a hundred feet of river frontage with full riparian rights. Take a lounge chair and a fishing pole down to the river's edge and enjoy all the wildlife and year-round natural beauty on display just steps from your front door! Additional features include: Newly renovated kitchen with brand new gas range and dishwasher, updated plumbing and wiring; Fresh paint; Refinished hardwood floors; Numerous original fixtures, including hardwood doors and hardware, built in cupboards, and transom windows; Generator hookup; High-speed internet capability; New hot water heater; New stone driveway and parking area. (Easy commute to major cities! 1 hour, 15 min to NYC and Philadelphia, 45 minutes to Princeton.)
