Perched above the charm of Stockton, this extraordinary home offers a peaceful retreat just moments from town. Tucked quietly among mature trees and lush gardens, this remarkable stone residence, originally quarried from Pennsylvania plumbstone and dating back to its early life as a schoolhouse, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history that has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. Properties of this provenance and character seldom come to market. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings and abundant natural light create an immediate sense of openness and calm. The home’s original character is beautifully balanced by carefully integrated updates, including central air conditioning - a true rarity in historic homes - updated electrical throughout, and the peace of mind of a whole-house generator. A renovated kitchen with GE Profile appliances, granite counters, and breakfast bar looks over a flagstone patio and gardens beyond, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a serene retreat, while additional bedrooms, including one with its own sitting room, provide flexibility for guests, work, or creative pursuits. A working wood stove, wine cellar, and timeless architectural details add depth and warmth throughout. Beyond the main residence, a fully equipped guest house -- currently generating rental income -- offers exceptional versatility for hosting, extended stays, or continued investment. The grounds unfold across 1.94 private acres and include a heated in-ground pool, detached two-car garage, enclosed dog run, and multiple outdoor spaces designed for both quiet reflection and memorable gatherings. Ideally located in a peaceful setting just moments from the Delaware River, scenic trails, and the region’s beloved inns and restaurants, this is a property that offers not just a home, but a lifestyle—rich in history, privacy, and enduring beauty. This is more than a home — it is a place to belong. There is no For Sale Sign at the property.
