About 2211 Yardley
Step back to a time when location defined an estate's prestige. Set along Yardley’s storied Mansion Row in the heart of Delavue Manor, 2211 Yardley Road is a remarkable 1918 stone Colonial gracefully positioned on approximately 1.5 acres of beautifully curated grounds. This exceptional residence showcases enduring craftsmanship thoughtfully enhanced for modern living.
The stately stone exterior, slate roof, decorative columns, portico, dormers, and striking stone chimney create an unforgettable first impression, complemented by bluestone walkways that frame the approach. Inside, timeless architectural details abound, including rich hardwood floors throughout the first and second levels, extra-deep window sills, arched doorways, curved moldings, thick crown and chair rail moldings, 9-inch colonial baseboards, and classic Moravian tile accents. A gracious center hall entry anchors the formal living and dining rooms and features a grand staircase with a wide turned design and mahogany banister.
The formal dining room is a charming space for entertaining, centered by what is believed to be the home’s original crystal chandelier. A door leads to an expansive bluestone patio with seating areas framed by thoughtful plantings that provide privacy—perfect for outdoor dining or gathering with family and friends around the firepit on a crisp fall evening.
The grand living room offers generous proportions, custom built-ins, and a fireplace accented with Moravian tile, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for both everyday living and holiday gatherings. Double French doors open to a luminous conservatory featuring exposed stone walls, Mercer/Moravian tile floors, surrounded in windows with multiple French doors leading to patios and gardens beyond. Bathed in natural light, this exceptional space is the perfect setting to relax with a book or simply enjoy the surrounding landscape.
The thoughtfully designed kitchen blends period charm with modern functionality, offering glass-front cabinetry, newer stainless-steel appliances, stone countertops, and generous preparation space. The open layout enhances flow for both daily living and entertaining. A butler’s pantry with additional cabinetry, farmhouse sink, dishwasher, beverage fridge and extra oven provides exceptional storage and convenience. A charming powder room accented with Moravian tile completes the main level.
The second floor features four bedrooms and three full baths, including a spacious primary suite with deep window sills, built-in cabinetry, and a generous walk-in closet. The beautifully remodeled primary bath showcases a walk in shower with frameless door and a double vanity with stone countertop. Two tastefully updated baths serve the remaining bedrooms, while a separate back staircase connects the former maid’s quarters to the main floor. The third floor provides two additional bedrooms that share a large full bath featuring classic Moravian tile. Perfect for guests, a home office or creative pursuits.
The finished lower level expands the home’s living space with an inviting entertainment retreat complete with a bar, billiards area, comfortable seating space, full laundry room, and abundant storage.
Outdoors, the grounds feel like a private garden retreat with expansive lawns, raised garden beds, mature perennials, peonies, blueberry bushes, herbs, and fruit-bearing plantings. Multiple patios and a firepit create wonderful spaces for relaxing or entertaining. An attached two-car garage and dual driveways with a turnaround provide everyday convenience.
Ideally located just minutes from downtown Yardley’s shops and dining, the scenic Delaware River, the train to Philadelphia and New York, major commuting routes, Princeton, and local township recreation, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of architectural heritage, gracious scale, and modern comfort in one of Lower Makefield Township’s most coveted settings.
