3673 RIVER RD

Tucked into the quiet, storybook hamlet of Lumberville, 3673 River Road is the kind of home that feels less like a property and more like a retreat. Set along one of Bucks County's most cherished river villages, this circa-1875 cottage blends historic character, thoughtful restoration, and the peaceful rhythm of life by the Delaware.
Mornings here begin slowly — coffee from the Lumberville General Store, a walk along the canal towpath, sunlight filtering through old trees, and the sound of the river nearby. Evenings might mean dinner at the Black Bass Hotel, cocktails overlooking the water, or a quiet night at home after a day spent exploring New Hope, Frenchtown, and the surrounding countryside.
As you enter through the unique front door, you are welcomed by a spacious living room with beautiful built-ins providing space for your favorite books and treasured photographs. Surrounded by windows, you will enjoy natural light all day long and seasonal views of the Delaware River. Some historic architectural details of this home are the hardwood floors, some of which are irreplaceable old-world chestnut, found throughout.

The reimagined kitchen is functional and features custom cabinetry, newer stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and Silestone surfaces. It flows seamlessly into the breakfast room and onward to a cozy family room anchored by a stone-faced gas fireplace—an inviting space designed for relaxed weekends and intimate gatherings. Tucked discreetly within, a hidden door reveals a remarkable 100-bottle wine cellar—an unexpected and memorable feature for the discerning collector.

On the second level, the large primary suite offers a luxurious feel with a unique layout and oversized closet. A welcome surprise is the back door that delivers you into the garden in a single step. The ensuite bath is large and spa-like with its radiant heat floor and new marble shower renovated in 2020.
Two additional bedrooms, both with river views, share a beautifully tiled bathroom with tub shower. Traditional ceiling beams in one bedroom create a cozy feel so appropriate to the house.
Outdoors, the property becomes truly special. The front and back landscaping was updated in 2020. The perennial and native gardens have been curated with intention—layered, organic, and ever-changing with the seasons. Bluestone terraces, a fenced patio, and a covered porch create multiple moments for dining, reading, or simply taking in the quiet rhythm of the river just beyond. Two driveway parking spaces plus 2 spaces on River Rd in front of house. New well pump in 2024 and new water heater in 2026. Some new windows and new flat roof replaced in 2024.

For the nature seeker or the New York buyer seeking a tranquil escape, the setting is as compelling as the home itself. Just minutes away, the iconic Black Bass Hotel offers riverside dining with a legacy dating back to the 1740s—perfect for sunset dinners or weekend brunch. The beloved Lumberville General Store provides a charming stop for morning coffee or a casual bite, while nearby river towns like New Hope, Lambertville, Stockton and Frenchtown expand your options with upscale dining, galleries, and boutique shopping—all within a scenic drive. Hike or bike along the canal and enjoy boating on the river. A truly special offering—one that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
