Description

Charming 'bow-roof' style cape with 3 bedrooms and 1.1 baths. ideally situated on 5+ quiet acres in hunterdon county's delaware township - known for scenic open space farmland preservation, farm to table, vineyards and river towns. the traditional 'bow-roof' design is evocative of early 17th century cape cod/ nantucket, massachusetts villages and is thought to have been the inspiration of ships' carpenters who learned to fashion the roofs of their land-based dwellings after the curved hulls of ships. in addition to their aesthetic appeal, the curved roof design was practical for shedding water and heavy new england snow and also offered the advantage of higher ceilings on the upper floors. this recently constructed version was handcrafted in 1989 by bow house inc of bolton ma, the manufacturer of truly unique architectural kits and has been carefully updated and maintained by its loving owner. interior architectural details include 2 rumson back-to-back all masonry brick fireplaces, 12" wide pine flooring throughout fastened with hand forged rose head nails, solid wood doors, 12 over 12 windows with antique glass, full basement with wood stove. exterior details include copper rolled and seamed roof screened-in porch, large composite deck, and 2 new high quality storage sheds overlooking the landscaped yard. this property is private, turn-key and about 1 hour from both nyc and philadelphia.
