Property Description
Presenting a National Historical residence boasting 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, with views of the Delaware River and Battery Park. Once the esteemed residence of The Farmers Bank, this historic marvel has been meticulously revitalized and modernized with contemporary luxuries by its current custodians. Step through the ornate gates onto the brick pathway, leading you into the stately reception hall. To your left, beyond the Palladian French doors, awaits the majestic living room adorned with intricate woodwork and fireplace. Sunlight cascades through the magnificent half-moon transom windows, adorned with operable shutters, and French doors opening onto the side patio once the entranceway to the bank. On the opposite side of the hall, discover the splendid formal dining room featuring shuttered half-moon windows, crown molding, and a tiled fireplace. This room seamlessly connects to the family room through double doors and is embellished with detailed moldings and wainscoting, featuring a fireplace equipped with a ventless system. Passing through the hallway and by the elegant, restored staircase, you'll arrive at the gourmet sunlit Georgi kitchen, boasting an island, granite countertops, a tile backsplash and custom rangehood. The kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, that include a 6-burner Viking stovetop with griddle, double oven, KitchenAid dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a farmhouse sink. Adjacent to the kitchen lies a cheerful sunroom addition, enveloped in windows and custom cabinetry, overlooking, and accessing the backyard, complete with the original four-person outhouse repurposed for storage. Ascend to the second level, where a landing welcomes you, featuring a spacious 2nd-floor laundry room that could double as a sewing or craft room, complemented by ample closet space. The stairway also accommodates a seated lift for handicap access to the second. Nearby you will encounter a full bathroom with exposed brick, electric floor heat and a shower bathtub. A few steps further reveal another grand hallway leading to the main bedroom and three additional generously sized bedrooms.
