Tudor

Welcome to 761 River Road in Yardley, Pennsylvania! Located in the heart of Historic Bucks County and along the bucolic Delaware River, this majestic property is set on just over .8 acres of land that includes two parcels in total (20-046-138 size: 100x304 & 20-046-195 size: 100x45). Parcel #2 offers Riparian Rights and access to the beautiful Delaware River. This Tudor style home is full of charm inside and outside. The governors driveway circles in front of the main entrance where a natural stone walkway leads to the front door. One of many unique features of this home, built in 1931, is that is is constructed of natural fieldstone (on all four sides) that was quarried locally. Inside the front entrance is the large greeting area with the formal dining room on the right and flanked to the left, is the exquisite living room. Original hardwood oak flooring carries through from the foyer area, and into both the dining and living rooms. Another point of interest in this home are the many beautiful windows (some with leaded glass) that bring in so much natural light! In addition, the original living room fireplace tiles are from the famed Mueller Mosaic Tile Company in Trenton, NJ, and the owner of Mueller Mosaic Tile was a friend of Henry Chapman Mercer, the founder of the Moravian Pottery Tileworks Company located in Doylestown, PA. Much of the original tile from the earlier 1930's is evident throughout the house especially the bathrooms and magnificent living room fireplace. Continuing on through the living room area is the light drenched sunroom where many hours are spent relaxing! Back out to the foyer are and directly through the center hall is the kitchen. Updated in 1996, the kitchen is designed to be space efficient. Surprisingly, there is an over abundance of cabinet space and the flow throughout the kitchen allows for a small table in the center. Cabinetry is high quality with inset doors and upper cabinets that reach the ceiling. The main bedroom is located on the first floor and has the primary bathroom attached. There is an additional full bathroom on the main level along with a bonus room that can be a bedroom (especially with the full bathroom beside it) or as a den area which is the current use. Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom. The bedroom facing front towards the river, has breathtaking views! It could be considered the "best room the house". A huge walk-in closet is adjacent to the front bedroom and is great for extra storage. There is a full basement below that has another egress to the outside. Speaking of outside, the grounds around the are beautifully maintained. There is a gigantic stone patio in the rear of the home, overlooking the majestic backyard. In addition, the extended driveway circles into the back of the house where there is a two car garage. Conveniently located just a short distance from downtown Yardley and has access to two bridges to New Jersey. Easy commutes and close to everything! Homes are not built like this any longer so take advantage of this priceless gem!
