About the Listing CHSIR05 - 3189122

If you’ve ever dreamed of converting an old riverfront barn into an incredible living space, this is it! Tracing its roots back to the mid-1870's and located in the heart of Stockton’s commercial/residential zone, this rare property will offer .65 acres along the towpath once subdivision from a larger compound is complete. With its beautiful partial Delaware River views, the entire second floor could be turned into an urbane loft-style home with a wide-open floor plan, high ceilings and raised decks that wrap-around for scenic vistas. With all the usable square footage plus the potential to raise the roof and add another level with even better views, the sky is the limit! This location, just .4 miles to the Stockton Inn and the Stockton Market and .6 miles to the Woolverton Inn with easy access along the D&R Canal Pathway leads you to Bridge Street in just minutes. Water and gas are already piped into the barn and there’s a sewer permit in place. As is typical of properties along the river, it is in the flood zone, so living quarters can only be upstairs, but that only leaves loads of storage on the ground level behind 18-inch thick stone walls with simple access to river activities. Bring your kayaks, your boat, your bikes and your fishing gear – there’s room for all of it! With two garage entrances, a wraparound driveway would be readily accommodated, and the roofline is ideal for HVAC installation. An elevator or a second staircase would be easy to install. Only 65 miles from NYC and 45 miles from Philadelphia, here is the ideal weekend getaway location! Bring your vision and your architect, they’ll be in their glory with this one! The adjacent 70-mile Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park is one of central New Jersey's most popular recreational corridors for canoeing, jogging, hiking, bicycling, fishing and horseback riding. The towpath, canal and park are part of the National Recreation Trail System. This linear park is also a valuable wildlife corridor connecting fields and forests. A recent bird survey conducted in the park revealed 160 species of birds, almost 90 of which nested in the park.
