PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
A Love Letter to Frenchtown Living! There are houses you simply live in, and houses that invite you to fall a little bit in love. Built in the 1880s, this warm and gracious historic 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in Frenchtown, NJ sits just steps from Bridge Street, as close to the heart of town as you can be without actually living in the business district. Walk out your front door and the restaurants, shops, galleries, Delaware River and towpath are right there. Come home, and the bustle falls away. Pumpkin pine floors run throughout the house, bearing the beautiful marks and patina of nearly a century and a half of life. Three porches offer places to follow the day, but the generous front porch may become your favorite. With its porch swing, flower boxes and hanging baskets, it practically insists that you sit awhile and watch Frenchtown go by. Inside, the old and new live comfortably together. The kitchen was completely renovated in 2021 with new appliances and a handmade tile backsplash that gives the room warmth and character. Even the powder room gets its own bit of artistry with a handmade tile floor. Comfort got an upgrade too: in the summer of 2021, a new 5-zone ductless mini-split HVAC system was installed throughout the house, bringing efficient heating and cooling to every corner of this historic home. Upstairs, the closets were thoughtfully redesigned to make the most of every inch of storage. And then there is the backyard. Completely reimagined and landscaped in 2021, it has become a private little world of its own, with established plantings, a dedicated sitting area and a fire pit for long evenings under the stars. Two backyard sheds provide plenty of room for gardening tools, bicycles, projects and storage. With three bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, mini-split heating and cooling, off-street parking, three porches and a walkable location that puts the very best of Frenchtown just outside your door, this is an old house that has been lovingly brought forward without losing the soul that made it special in the first place. And what a moment to call Frenchtown home. Recently named the Best Small Arts + Culture Town in the U.S. for 2026 by Travel + Leisure, this charming Delaware River town in Hunterdon County has become one of New Jersey's most vibrant destinations for art, food, nature and community, with easy access across the bridge to Bucks County, PA. Come for the pumpkin pine floors and the front porch swing. Stay because somehow, it already feels like home.
