This canal-side bank house overlooking the Delaware Canal and the river beyond, is a surprising hidden gem with charming elements both inside and out. Gardens with a European flair flank the entrance of the property and complement the expansive deck with pergola, stacked stone walls and bluestone steps leading to the front entrance of the home. Inside you'll be greeted by an open living space with a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors, stone fireplace and a huge picture window that shows off the gardens. The dining room with its lovely view is spacious and open from the living room making for great entertainment space. The sun-drenched kitchen with its high ceiling, beautiful butcher block counter and AGA Legacy stove is impressive and functional. The main bedroom with sitting area has an expansive wall of windows, a fireplace and hallway access to a dutch door that leads outside to a sweet garden with a storage shed. A cozy ensuite bedroom with built-in bed and nightstands and a screened-in porch provides a private space for your guests. Great lengths were taken to carve out fun little nooks and crannies throughout the home, making the very best use of space and storage in every room. Thoughtfully executed and tastefully designed interiors made with quality materials and craftsmanship include custom built-ins for collectibles and books, pocket doors, limestone and oak floors, Farrow and Ball paints, new windows and doors, high quality bathroom tile and flooring and custom stair railing. Copper roof and gutters and cedar shake siding make for a beautiful exterior. Don't miss this opportunity to make this home your primary residence or private getaway!

RA
Residential Agricultural District
It is the purpose of this district to establish areas composed of residential properties of a semi-rural or rural character on lands which do not have the severe drainage or water supply limitations prevailing in the RC district. Requirements for this district are designed to protect the essential characteristics of these areas and to promote and encourage a suitable and safe environment for family life. Minimum lots in this district are of sufficient size to make it reasonably feasible to permit on-lot sewage disposal.
