Nestled on nearly an acre along the Delaware Canal Towpath, 100 River Road is a beautifully maintained four-bedroom, three-bath historic colonial that blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. Dating to 1890, this Federal and Greek Revival–inspired home offers striking architectural details, including corner quoins, a formal front entry with sidelights and transom, 9-foot ceilings, and beautifully milled staircases. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout the main and upper levels. The oversized front-to-back living room features a wood-burning stove and custom built-in cabinetry, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The formal dining room, accented by a crystal chandelier, is perfect for entertaining. The updated eat-in kitchen combines classic charm with modern convenience, offering stainless steel appliances, a double oven, beverage fridge, soapstone countertops, open shelving, and custom cabinetry, with direct access to the deck and outdoor living spaces.
Upstairs, the primary suite provides a spacious bedroom, dual closets, and abundant natural light. The updated primary bath features a tiled shower with bench and dual shower heads. Two additional bedrooms, a sitting room ideal for an office or media space, and a full hall bath with a deep jetted tub complete the second level.
The walkout lower level adds exceptional versatility with exposed original stone walls, tiled flooring, a wood stove, a full bath, and a fourth bedroom—ideal for an in-law or guest suite—with direct access to the patio and backyard.
Outdoor living is a true highlight, with a raised deck overlooking the koi pond, a patio with sweeping 180-degree views, and beautifully landscaped gardens that provide color from spring through fall. The property backs to the canal path, offering immediate access for walking, biking, and recreation, all in a serene pastoral setting just outside the village of Point Pleasant.
