Stockton, NJ 08559

Nestled among swathes of greenery, here's a home that pays homage to its history without forgoing the comforts of modern living. In a very private hilltop location just outside Stockton, this dreamy offering makes the most of its elevated sweeping river and forest views. An overhaul of the grounds created attractive stone terraces and expansive dry stack stone walls with designer lighting, a waterfall, and a koi pond, becoming an extension of the living space, and enlivening it with speakers and even a protected gardening bed. The arts & crafts style home boasts 4 fireplaces throughout, two with newly installed cast iron wood stoves, gorgeous hardwood floors throughout, unique woodwork details of the period and amazing panoramic views out every window. An abundance of covered patios and balconies create romantic fun spaces for outdoor entertaining and al-fresco dining. A spacious gourmet kitchen with stainless Viking stove and hood, a sizable island has space for stools, storage and plenty of work space, a big pantry and vintage matching corner cabinets for displaying one's special dinnerware, granite counters, stainless farm sink and a French door leading out onto the rear patio and grilling area. A formal dining room w/a cozy wood stove leads into a year-round sunporch that spans the width of the home, overlooking the front yard and river valley. Another wood stove is the focal point of the living room, with a doorway leading to the largest covered patio area which features a hot tub. Two flexible bedrooms with French doors leading outside and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs leads to the main bedroom suite with a fireplace and doorway which opens to the balcony with extensive views. Adjacent is a sitting room/walk-in closet w/the 4th fireplace and a full bathroom w/large closet. A wide hallway with a door opening to a roof deck and a walk-up attic for dry storage complete the top floors. A lower level stone porch leads to the partially finished lower level offering exposed stone walls and would be a good office or flex space and steps out to the front and side terraces making it ideal overflow space when entertaining. The laundry room and utility rooms finish the bottom floor. A two-car garage/workshop has electric, heat and storage. The whole house generator is a convenient source when needed. Just a quick drive into the historic towns of Stockton, Lambertville, Frenchtown, New Hope and Lumberville for river view dining. Delaware & Raritan path is ideal for bike rides and exercise. Local boat launch is located across the street to river access. A unique home with so much to offer!
