A slice of paradise on a peaceful street on almost 4 acres overlooking a creek valley and the hillside forest of Washington Crossing Park, this lovingly restored Colonial is like nothing else around! The long drive, which culminates at a parking court, introduces this beauty with many antique features, yet many updates as well. With idyllic views from every window, the entry hall begins the tour of this gracious, spacious home. Original working stone fireplaces are focal points as are hand-hewn beamed ceilings, random width floors, and built-in cupboards throughout. An addition was constructed paying close attention to this home's history. The kitchen is thoroughly modern with attractive Brazilian granite counters and opens to an over-sized entertaining room with walk-in fireplace. Above, the master suite is a homeowner's delight offering a dressing area, walk-in closet, full bath and Juliet balcony. Jersey winders lead to two other bedrooms and a finished third floor. A barn and separate garage are on the property. A rare find near the river! Septic was tested last week and a very minor repair was completed.
