A quiet road in Durham Township is the setting for this historic home. Built circa 1814 and lovingly tended over the years, the house boasts period details as well as thoughtful updates. The idyllic 2.4 acre parcel is traversed by the pristine water of Cooks Creek, with its native brown trout. Original chestnut floors lend warmth and richness to the home, along with exposed wood beams. The updated kitchen features custom wood cabinets, stainless appliances, and gas cooking, opening to a sunny breakfast area. The nearby living room is cozy with a cast iron wood stove and large windows. An addition on this floor includes an office, laundry facilities, and a powder room. Upstairs, three bright and airy bedrooms share an updated hall bath. A large wraparound deck is ideal for morning coffee or afternoon tea, with views of the lush countryside. A detached garage includes finished studio space for guests or hobbies. Walking trails lead to the banks of Cooks Creek, beautiful in every season and an incredible backdrop for this charming homestead. This delightful weekend haven or full-time residence feels worlds away yet is minutes to the NJ border, I-78, and the Delaware River corridor.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
