Description

Nestled into a quiet, wooded hillside in the charming river town of Stockton, this gracious home invites you to slow down and enjoy lifersquo;s simple pleasures. Stockton is the kind of place where the local market still greets you by name, and where the Delaware River, just moments away, weaves its way through a landscape rich in history and natural beauty. Itrsquo;s no wonder visitors fall in love with this hidden gem of New Jerseymdash;and some are lucky enough to call it home. Reluctantly offered for sale by its original owners, this thoughtfully designed custom home was built in 2007 and has been lovingly maintained ever since. As you enter the two-story foyer, yoursquo;re greeted by warm hardwood floors and an immediate sense of welcome. To your right, the intimate dining room is the perfect setting for a candlelit dinner for two or a festive holiday gathering by the glow of a wood-burning fireplace. The heart of the home lies just beyondmdash;a spacious, open-concept kitchen and family room designed for effortless entertaining. The kitchen boasts abundant granite counter space (because therersquo;s no such thing as too much prep space for the home chef!), seating for four at the breakfast bar, a walk-in pantry, and stainless steel appliances. Whether yoursquo;re whipping up a casual brunch or hosting a dinner party, this space invites connection and conversation. The adjoining family room centers around a stunning stone fireplacemdash;ideal for cozy evenings with a good book or a glass of cognac while snow falls outside. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a luxurious ensuite bath featuring double sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate stall shower, plus a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the upper level. Outside, yoursquo;ll discover a low-maintenance landscape designed for relaxation rather than yard work. Picture yourself dining al fresco or sipping your morning coffee in one of the many outdoor sitting areas. Follow a short path up to a quiet perch overlooking the seasonal river viewsmdash;a favorite spot of the current owners, where deer and other wildlife often make an appearance. Additional highlights include a main-level laundry room, a spacious two-car garage, and a full, daylight walkout basement offering endless possibilities: home gym, playroom, media roommdash;or all three! Commuters will appreciate the convenience: just 90 minutes to Manhattan, about an hour to Princeton or Philadelphia, and for those who prefer not to drive, therersquo;s a bus station just seven minutes away with daily service to NYC. Trentonrsquo;s train station, with easy connections along the Northeast Corridor, is just 25 minutes away. Come experience the peaceful, welcoming lifestyle of Stocktonmdash;and see for yourself why homes like this are so rarely available.
