Every once & a while ... A VERY SPECIAL HOME comes on the market...THIS IS IT!!! Located on the edge of Hilltop Park this home offers so much old house charm combined with many quality updates both inside and out. Enter through the double doors into the vestibule which opens to the entry foyer. To the right sits the formal living room with bay window and fireplace. Pocket doors lead to the formal dining room and access to the butler's pantry. The kitchen with breakfast area has been completely redone by Williams Builders with oak wood cabinetry, high end SS appliances, brand new GE slide in 5 burner stove, extra deep SS sink, soapstone counters, bluestone back splash, recessed lighting, beamed ceiling, sliding doors with transom window above adding lots of natural light and built in corner cabinet in the breakfast area. Off the kitchen is the cozy family room. The front room to the left of the foyer can serve as a home office or a variety of other uses. There is also a convenient half bath with pocket door that has been tastefully redone. The foyer opens to the gorgeous winding staircase with stained glass window and door to the second floor side porch. The second floor offers a main bedroom with bay window, completely redone nearby sun drenched sitting area and extra closet space. There are 2 additional spacious bedrooms and an over sized 2nd floor laundry room that could be converted to a 4th BR depending on your needs. The full bath features an extra long claw footed tub/shower that has just been re-glazed. The entire third floor is unused attic space that could be finished for additional living area offering views of the Delaware River. As you enter the rear yard you will discover a hidden English style garden. There are multiple patios, meandering walkways, fencing for additional privacy, a fountain, perennial gardens, several seating areas with pavers, and an additional brick paved area for parking additional cars, boats, etc. or just another seating/entertaining area.
