"The house spoke to me, the day I first walked through" are the words of this owner, referencing the spirit of the house; the light reflected by blown glass window panes;the quality of the wood doors and moldings ....so thick; front and back staircases; a gently sloping hillside of towering trees and deer fenced gardens .....overlooking the Delaware River, and its river community, Lumberville. We wanted to bring this house back to life and did with renovations and maintenance repairs inside and out!The grand living room, with its built-in dry bar is an elegant room for entertaining with floor to ceiling shuttered windows and wall to wall Stark carpet. Dating back to the 1780's the quiet and cozy hearth room, with its handsome wood burning stone fireplace, exposed beams and wood floors is a contemplative spot to begin or end your day. Culinary creations come to life in the cheerfully bright kitchen with its Wolf stove top, double wall ovens, Quartz counters, walls of cabinets, walk-in pantry and farm sink looking out to the luscious hillside. Beautifully proportioned, the dining room, enjoys a walk-in closet with ample shelving for china and serving pieces and a wall of French doors to the stone terrace.
