Shaded by a towering hemlock in the front yard and sitting on a quiet lane amidst other antique homes, this c. 1889 home offers wonderful outdoor spaces and a sunny interior. Located in the charming river village of Riegelsville, outdoor activities along the Delaware River and Towpath, dining and library are within walking distance. A paver walkway leads to the covered front porch with period millwork, setting the tone for a property that provides comfort and tranquility. With fresh paint, brand new carpet, replacement windows, and 2018 architectural shingle roof, the house is move-in ready. The open concept living and dining room with old wood floorboards has wood-burning stove, large windows, and high ceiling. Updated in 2013, the eat-in kitchen offers Brazilian soapstone counters with glass tile backsplash, tile floor, stainless appliances, and pantry closet. The family room with tile floor has a full bath and leads to the private 215sf freshly sealed deck overlooking the open back yard. There is a main floor bedroom, quietly located on the back of the house, with convenient laundry room. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, each with new carpet, and a hall bath with tile floor, pedestal sink, and jetted tub. The walk-up attic provides excellent storage or perhaps additional finished space. The unfinished basement has a workshop area. Accessed from the alley, the 1-car detached garage sits next to cute garden shed, perfect for storing firewood. This property is not in a flood plain! 15 minutes from Easton, and an easy 90-minute drive to NYC crossing the Riegelsville Bridge, built by John Roebling as a prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge. Perfect for weekends or full-time!
