About This Home

As of June 2018

DR. COOPER'S COTTAGE. Experience village life in this quaint Bucks County stone & frame Victorian house perched high in the center of the river hamlet of Point Pleasant, once known as Lower Black's Eddy. Built in the 19th century by Doctor Cooper,a prominent area physician, this adorable cottage served as his home and office for many decades. At once rustic and formal, this true vintage gem possesses many charming, authentic features like the original Victorian formal double-door entry, 9' ceilings, exposed stone walls, wide plank floors. The gas-fired "woodstove" adds charm and warmth, especially as the chilly weather approaches. New stove and sink grace the country kitchen which, along with the rest of the interior, has been freshly painted. The picturesque wrap-around porch, features a delightful 2-person porch swing that brings to mind the rich history of the home and area. The large stone patio and garden areas, plus seasonal water views will fill the senses. There's also a back porch-turned-potting shed for those with a green thumb. All year round or just for easy weekend getaways, come, breathe the river air, feel the river energy and enjoy the river-town lifestyle and scenic beauty. Many recreational activities and opportunities: nearby boat access for kayaking or tubing, towpath for hiking and biking, hike the nearby Tohickon state park, or walk to the village antique shops, and country store. Close to New Hope-Lambertville and Doylestown area restaurants and shopping. Or, commute to Princeton, NYC or Philadelphia. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Village of Point Pleasant has a long and storied history, closely linked to the river and canal and continues to be a great place to live. Come and see for yourself! Note: Property is zoned VC for those who are interested in home occupation, etc. See Zoning Code. 1 YR HOME WARRANTY INCLUDED. Boiler is older but has had excellent maintenance and performance. SELLER HAS HAD SEPTIC TESTED (12/2017)and SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY.
