A quiet road in Durham Township is the setting for this historic home. Built circa 1814 and lovingly tended over the years, the house boasts period details as well as thoughtful updates. The idyllic 2.4 acre parcel is traversed by the pristine water of Cooks Creek, with its native brown trout. Original chestnut floors lend warmth and richness to the home, along with exposed wood beams. The updated kitchen features custom wood cabinets, stainless appliances, and gas cooking, opening to a sunny breakfast area. The nearby living room is cozy with a cast iron wood stove and large windows. An addition on this floor includes an office, laundry facilities, and a powder room. Upstairs, three bright and airy bedrooms share an updated hall bath. A large wraparound deck is ideal for morning coffee or afternoon tea, with views of the lush countryside. A detached garage includes finished studio space for guests or hobbies. Walking trails lead to the banks of Cooks Creek, beautiful in every season and an incredible backdrop for this charming homestead. This delightful weekend haven or full-time residence feels worlds away yet is minutes to the NJ border, I-78, and the Delaware River corridor.
