The Frederick Apgar House, circa 1809

An historic family compound is ready for new stewardship. At the heart of the property stands the original stone and clapboard homestead, rich with period details and enduring craftsmanship. Complementing the main residence are two additional dwellings, a charming, income producing wood Carriage House, also ideal for a mother daughter arrangement and a large one bedroom caretaker's cottage.

The beautiful grounds are comprised of almost 6 acres. Bluestone paths and Delaware River smooth pebble walkways, specimen plantings and lush landscaping are perfectly blended into this picturesque setting. A nearly one acre parklike corner of the property is ideal for a gardener desiring a formal garden.

Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the grounds are nothing short of enchanting. A heated pool and air conditioned pool house, complete with a half bath and mini kitchen create a private resort-like setting. Meandering garden paths lead to a tranquil koi pond inviting quiet moments and outdoor enjoyment.


Hallmarks of the homes include massive original timbers, fine millwork, wide board pine floors, multiple period fireplaces including a stunning stone walk-in fireplace in the living room.

For the car enthusiast or the artisan, an impressive freestanding two-story four bay garage is equipped with heating and air conditioning- ideal for collectors, hobbyists or wood working shop, artists needing space to craft.

Extensive hardscape ensures ample parking for residents and guests. One notable feature is the large motor court which provides parking and turnaround for multiple vehicles.

This exceptional property presents endless possibilities-from a weekend retreat to a compound or an income generating investment. A truly special offering where history, a country village lifestyle and opportunity converge.
