Property Description
An incredible value for this grand beauty! Step back in time to the turn of the Century. The year is 1918 when this Classic stone colonial was built and crafted on a 1.5-acre home-site located in one of Yardley's most desirable neighborhoods, Delavue Manor. You have always admired it, now it's time to make it yours. The period details are striking. There is real stone, a slate roof, decorative columns, portico's, dormers and an all stone chimney. In the inside, classic Moravian tile can be found in several areas, there are extra deep window sills, 9" colonial baseboard moldings, rich hardwood flooring on first and 2nd floors (also on the 3rd but covered with carpet), arched doorways, curved molding, thick crown and chair molding, and more. This center hall colonial will not disappoint you. The large entryway is central to a formal dining room, living room and grand staircase. The dining room is an impressive entertaining space. Centered in the room is the crystal chandelier (thought to be original to the home). The grand living room features a fireplace with Moravian tile accent and a mantel. There are built-in bookcases, and French doors to the conservatory and an outdoor patio. The conservatory is a bright, beautiful spot to read a book or simply enjoy nature from inside. It is a stunning space with exposed stone walls and a Moravian tile floor. There are many windows and multiple sets of French doors to the outside. The kitchen features an abundance of glass cabinetry and a gourmet Jenn-Aire gas stove. Attached is a butler's pantry featuring additional cabinetry with glass doors, an additional prep area, including a sink and dishwasher. Completing the first floor is a charming powder room with a crystal chandelier and Moravian tile. A wide turned staircase with thick mahogany banister takes you to the second floor. Be sure to look out of the double window and admire the view. At the left end of the hallway is the master suite. This comfortable retreat features an abundance of deep windows, built in bookcases with cabinets, a large walk in closet and en-suite bath. The master bath features a marble floor, white porcelain tile, a double vanity and stall shower. There are three more bedrooms, a Jack and Jill bath and an original maid's quarters perfect for an au-pair or guest suite. On the third level you will find two additional bedrooms and a full bath featuring Moravian tile. Outside is a gardener's dream with many mature perennials and plantings including peonies and your very own fig tree. The side garden features blueberry bushes, spices and other fruit bearing plantings. This home is close to the train station (Philadelphia and New York), downtown Yardley, Rt 1 and Rt 95, Princeton, schools, ball fields, Township Pool and many dining and shopping areas.
