DELIGHTFUL RIVERFRONT COTTAGE IN KINGWOOD TOWNSHIP Perfect as a weekend retreat, vacation home or full-time residence, a captivating waterfront cottage sits on a slightly elevated 0.93-acre property just above the banks of the Delaware River in Kingwood Township. Scenic views of the water and the other side of the river in Bucks County, Pennsylvania are captured throughout this enchanting home. An open, updated floor plan offers two bedrooms and two full baths arranged on a single level. Set along a private road, the cottage is enhanced by a boat dock, covered river view porch and large deck overlooking the water. There is a detached, oversized three-car garage as well as two sheds with electric service and a basement offering multiple storage options and space for row boats, canoes and kayaks. Inside, the strong indoor-outdoor connection is reinforced by numerous windows framing sun-dappled water vistas. Several doors open to the entertainment-sized deck, spacious side porch and lower level concrete patio, all of which also provide compelling river views. Originally built in about 1953, this inviting home was updated in 2003 and shows pride of ownership throughout. Bright gathering spaces include a gracious living room featuring a stone wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors, a ceiling fan and sliding glass doors to the deck. An adjoining sun room is designed with a dramatic window wall overlooking the river, a wood-paneled vaulted ceiling and carpeting. In the dining room, wood laminate floors, a vaulted wood-paneled ceiling and river views are outstanding amenities. Just off the dining room is a galley-style kitchen fitted with oak cabinetry, wide plank wood laminate flooring, ample counter space and a full complement of appliances. The spacious master bedroom has a walk-in closet and ceramic tile bath with stall shower and partial glass block wall. Another bedroom with attic access and a double door closet is served by a second full bath/laundry room. Completing the layout is a walkout basement with utility area and a doorway opening to the ground level patio, tiered backyard and river. Other highlights of this cottage are carefree vinyl siding, several window awnings, a newer roof, six-panel interior doors and an outdoor shower. Mechanical systems include oil-fired forced hot air heating, central air conditioning, a water purifier, private septic and well water. Named #29 out of the Top 100 Towns by New Jersey Monthly magazine in 2011, the publication highlighted Kingwood’s natural beauty and variety of local amenities. The township’s small-town atmosphere in Hunterdon County attracts many residents looking for a relaxed lifestyle that is still convenient for commuting. Annual events like the Community Day held every September and capped off by fireworks, the holiday tree lighting, springtime egg hunt, fishing derby and bocce tournament are among the highly-anticipated celebrations on Kingwood’s calendar. Established in 1746, the township measures about 35-square-miles and borders historic Frenchtown along the Delaware River. Eight miles away is Flemington for a network of highways, extensive shopping along the Main Street or the outlet malls, and a variety of charming cafés and restaurants. The Lockatong Wildlife Management Area, a 491-acre park set along the Lockatong Creek in both Kingwood and Delaware Townships, features High Falls waterfall and a scenic system of hiking trails.
