About this home
Welcome to 2 Wilburtha — a Victorian gem in the heart of historic Wilburtha, where century-old craftsmanship meets thoughtful, modern care. From the street, the home's decorative scalloped shingle gables, tall brick chimney, and wraparound front porch (complete with ceiling fan) set the tone, all framed by mature landscaping and a sweeping circular driveway. Step inside to soaring 10-foot ceilings — a rare scale that makes every room feel grand. Crown moulding throughout, beautiful examples of geometric wood parquetry, built-in shelving, and classic wainscoting add the kind of detail that's increasingly rare to find intact. To the right of the entry, a large living room welcomes you with a fireplace fitted with a high-efficiency wood-burning stove insert. To the left, a versatile office space, west-facing toward the Delaware, glows at the golden hour toward sunset — a beautiful spot to work or unwind as the day winds down. An L-shaped staircase rises along the left side of the entry, tracing a row of windows that fill the entire space with natural light. From here, a hallway leads back to the kitchen, or — passing just beyond the stairs — you'll find yourself in the enormous dining room, which shares an open floor plan with the kitchen beyond it. The kitchen is a chef's dream come true: a huge island, soapstone countertops, slate tile, and views on two sides right out to the backyard's blooming trees and almost pastoral charm, which chart the seasons through your windows, crabapple giving way to magnolia, then to rhododendron, and roses that bloom clear through summer. Just off the kitchen, the rear entry is perfect for the departing or returning family, with a built-in bench, cubby, and coat hooks ready for daily life — plus a lovely powder room with beautifully maintained original tile and fixtures. Upstairs, the primary suite is something truly special — a quiet retreat anchored by an adjacent west-facing parlor, perfect for morning coffee, an evening read, or simply a private moment away from the day. A spacious walk-in closet completes the suite, making this corner of the home feel like its own private escape. At the top of the stairs, the landing opens into a large, enjoyable family space, flanked by the master and two other large bedrooms and a full bathroom. The third floor is a large, finished bonus space with its own full bathroom that could easily be reimagined as a private suite, a his-and-hers office for two, or an unforgettable kids' playroom. The home is heated by a classic radiator system — quiet, consistent, and free of the dust and allergens that forced-air systems circulate, while the radiators themselves add a touch of old-world charm to every room. Recent investment brings real peace of mind: a professionally waterproofed basement with a transferable warranty, a brand-new gas water heater, an updated 200-amp electrical panel, and a freshly installed well pump. The detached two-car garage has its own driveway and newly installed garage doors. A short walk brings you to the canal towpath, with bike access to Washington Crossing and beyond. Lambertville and New Hope are 15 minutes away, Princeton 20, and Philadelphia under an hour by car or a quick trip via SEPTA, just over a mile from your door. Route 29, 295, and Trenton-Mercer Airport — with its rare free parking — round out the convenience. This is a home with real history, character, and care behind it that is ready for its next chapter....
