2957 River Rd

This is your chance to own a beautiful fieldstone home, built into a sloped terraced lot in the Village of Centre Bridge! So much of the original detail remains:, beautiful random width pine flooring, dutch doors, a beautiful antique mantle, a tin gabled roof, exposed stone and so much more. A sweet little capped, stone well provides visual interest in the front yard which overlooks River Road and a collection of Centre Bridge’s prettiest estate homes. The Solebury Historical Society has traced the property all the way back to the land sale in 1696 from William Penn to Bassilian Foster. The house itself was likely built for Albert Livezy (owner of the general store) in 1869. This is a compact home- each room has built in shelving and cabinetry- and no square footage is wasted. Entering through the front porch brings you to the living room with wood floors, built in bookcases, beamed ceiling and the large mantled fireplace. A door leads to the winding staircase. To the right is the kitchen, with an exposed stone wall, cleverly built into the side of the sloping lot. On the second floor is the landing with exposed stone walls, perfect for a reading nook. One of the two bedrooms is on this floor with random width pine floors and double closet. The full bath is on this floor as well. Next is the office which, with the addition of a wardrobe, could also serve as a guest room or even third bedroom. The office features walls of built-ins and a door leading out to a lovely fieldstone patio. The sunroom, accessed through the landing, features new wood floors and newer skylights. In fact – all of the windows in this home have been replaced. The sunroom’s walls of windows and glass doors look out to the stone retaining walls which provide the terracing for the property and attractive levels for landscaping and outdoor enjoyment. At the top of the third terrace you will see a small structure complete with electricity which means with a little elbow grease and creativity you could create your own art studio, work shop, or quiet retreat to enjoy views of the Delaware River in the Winter! On the third floor is bedroom number two with double closets and a door to a storage room which, with a little imagination, might also serve as a sitting room, library or possible second bathroom. Admittedly some updating will be needed to fulfill modern needs or you could simply enjoy a vacation from the hustle of today’s lifestyle. The village of Centre Bridge is a five minute drive to New Hope or a twenty minute walk along the Delaware River Park Canal Path – a 60 mile state park trail running from Yardley to Easton PA. The wonderful casual dining and ice cream that is Dilly’s is right on the corner and a short walk over the bridge brings you to Stockton NJ. Easy drive to NYC, Princeton or North Jersey!
