Stately, historic, spacious and a spectacular riverfront view! Known locally as The Shippen House this circa 1804 brick home was originally commissioned by a wealthy Philadelphia judge, Edward Shippen, as his summer home. Three stories, a full walkout basement, 6(yes 6) bedrooms, 6 fireplaces and 3 1/2 baths are just part of this 3600+ sq ft home which has an unobstructed view of the Burlington Bristol Bridge and the Delaware River promenade. As you look at the pictures note that the original wide plank floors, 12 over 12 wood windows, high ceilings(some 12'), interior trim, plaster and staircases have all been preserved. Also note that although this home has been modernized with the addition of electric, indoor plumbing, a modern kitchen, central air and gas heat it has all been done as discretely as possible. The first floor consists of a spacious foyer 26' long with a conversation area and staircase, dining room, 19 x 18 formal living room with huge pocket doors and a grand fireplace with marble surround and wood mantle, sunroom with plenty of windows and a gas heater for year round use, a powder room, a butlers pantry with farm sink and copper countertop and a modern kitchen with solid surface countertops, desk area and stainless steel appliances. The second floor has a common sitting area that overlooks the river, 3 generously sized bedrooms and 2 full baths. The 3rd floor has 3 bedrooms, a full bath, a huge walk in closet and a staircase to the attic where there is tons of storage space. The full walkout basement has an unfinished 18 x 30 room with a massive fireplace just waiting for some finishing touches. The rear yard contains tall canopy trees and shrubbery for shade and privacy and a brick lined driveway for off street parking. Just minutes from rt 130, The Riverline and the Burlington Bristol Bridge.
