This home has been a true labor of love. Sitting on 4 acres of land, built in 1996 by the homeowner (a seasoned carpenter and residential framing contractor). 1 mile from the Delaware river and state hunting land, this beautiful 2,400 square-foot Cape Cod has been a place where friends have been welcomed, Upon digging, the foundation ledge was discovered, resulting in blasting. The foundation literally sits upon rock and has always been dry. The sturdy frame was constructed of hemlock from a local sawmill in the area. As you come up the walkway a covered front porch greets you, inviting you to sit with friends and family, read a book with a hot cup of tea or take in a beautiful sunset. Upon entering the open floor plan, you will find a large see-through fireplace that graces the kitchen as well as the living room area. Some wonderful nuggets of days past were found and refurbished while building. In the kitchen, you will find a large porcelain farm sink that has lent itself to the bathing of little ones from time to time. Also nestled in the cozy kitchen is an original 1921 Barstow wood/gas combo stove, used to make many meals, holiday get-togethers, and it's great for taking the chill out of those early fall & winter mornings. The large open dining room is great for hosting Thanksgiving dinner. The living room has plenty of space to stretch out on one or two oversized couches, take a nap or watch the game.
