OWN A PIECE OF LIVING HISTORY with this Blackwells Mills canal house, built in 1835. This colonial home blends historic character with modern convenience and is a notable example of Delaware and Raritan Canal architecture. This home showcases timeless design and features a classic faÃ§ade, narrow-plank hardwood floors on the main level, and wide-plank hardwood floors upstairs. The first floor includes a living, dining, or creative studio gathering room. The compact yet functional kitchen offers counter space, a sink, and a refrigerator. A working wood stove adds warmth and character. Upstairs, in addition to the main bedroom, a second room is ideal for a home office or studio. The fully fenced backyard is great for sitting by a fire pit or watching your pets romp and play. A large deck off the kitchen is perfect for morning coffee or dinner outside on a warm evening. A detached one-car garage and an additional driveway space provide convenient parking and storage. The garage is perfect for a car enthusiast or someone who enjoys a workshop. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the home's location 100 yards from the 3,000-acre Six Mile Run Park, ideal for biking, walking, and running. The nearby D&R Canal towpath offers a scenic route for walking or cycling along the historic canal. With proximity to Rutgers University, this home is ideally situated for those seeking a combination of history, nature, and modern living. The home is in move-in condition.
