Riverwood

1304 River Road Titusville, New Jersey 08560 United States

Riverwood, a 1915 Colonial Revival landmark set majestically on a high point on the Delaware River with seasonal river views, is a one-of-a-kind restored masterpiece. A long list of capital improvements made during the past 10 years means its exquisite architectural details and landscape design are ready to be enjoyed in all seasons. Only in person can you experience the depth of its quality construction, the scale of its magnificent, columned portico and the lifestyle that 5,000+ square feet of exquisite interiors afford. Inside, Riverwood’s classic symmetry is perhaps best exemplified by its beautifully crafted, center-hall staircase with a full perimeter gallery around the second story. Step out to the second-floor balcony facing the river and take in that view! Throughout, this home’s rich millwork shines, restored so one can fully appreciate the original raised-panel wainscoting, detailed fireplace surrounds and crown moldings. Each of the principal rooms is beautifully proportioned with high ceilings, tall windows and easy flow into outdoor entertaining areas. Five grand extra-wide working fireplaces (and a new Peerless boiler) are ready to take the edge off winter’s chill. The living and dining rooms can be as formal or casual, or as transitional or modern, as you wish. Each accommodates multiple seating areas. The family room/conservatory, with its river-rock fireplace, is a perfect everyday retreat. Whether you have a green thumb or would like to develop one, the attached large, heated greenhouse provides a year-round home for your plants, seed-starting and floral arranging. The island kitchen features smart workflow and updated Quartz countertops. Its storage is supplemented by the original butler’s pantry, lined in cabinetry with tremendous storage. For those who need home office space, a writer’s room lined in windows is a quiet haven at the top of the main staircase. Additional private quarters include five large bedrooms and three, adjacent full baths on the second floor; two of the bedrooms have fireplaces with tile surrounds and all have hardwood floors and wonderful natural light from two directions. Whether you need extra bedrooms or want flex space for a playroom, game room or additional home office, the third floor is ready with two bedrooms and a half bath plumbed to accommodate a tub or shower. A vast amount of accessible storage is located on the third floor and in the basement. Extremely convenient to Princeton, Lambertville/New Hope, train service to New York, Philadelphia and I-95 for points north and south, Riverwood is an ideal full- or part-time home. The grounds feature a heated, inground pool and jetted spa; a private of oasis of gardens and heritage trees with secret water garden with multiple ponds, a waterfall and a gazebo; a restored 100-foot long pergola/arbor covered with roses; and a three-car garage with studio space above. Eligible for NJ and National Register of Historic Properties and just south of Washington’s historic crossing. For the buyer seeking the quality and elegance that only a historical house can offer, Riverwood is a residence without equal.
