Property details
About 700 River Rd
Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity to own a grand, historic estate offering unmatched potential for private luxury living or an income-producing retreat. Set behind majestic pillars and a circular driveway framed by century-old trees and stone lions, this stately Colonial mini-estate sits on nearly two acres, backing to the 15th hole of the Trenton Country Club, with views stretching toward the Delaware River. This elegant home, thought to be a Sears Magnolia kit house, features rare millennium-aged cedar siding, a sparkling pool with a new liner and pump, a doubles sized tennis court (with potential for pickleball conversion), and a charming pool house (in need of restoration,) complete with a fireplace. Multiple patios, lush mature landscaping, and parking for up to 15 cars make it ideal for entertaining, WEDDINGS, RETREATS, or operating as a distinctive BED & BREAKFAST OR AIRbnb. Inside, timeless craftsmanship shines through capstone arched doorways, oak stair railings, and four fireplaces. Formal spaces include a 400+ square-foot living room with a marble fireplace and French doors leading to the outdoor pavilion, an elegant dining room, and a spacious family room featuring a dramatic walk-in stone fireplace, wet bar, and oversized windows that overlook the serene rear gardens and pool. A true highlight of the main level is the enchanting sunroom, featuring hexagon terracotta tile floors and an entire wall of built-in bookshelves. Flooded with natural light, this versatile space is perfect for reading, working, or adding an additional cozy gathering spot for guests. The vintage St. Charles kitchen—lovingly preserved—features a cozy banquette, a separate breakfast room with its own fireplace, and rich original woodwork. Seven doors throughout the main floor provide effortless access to the gardens and patios, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, the second floor offers four spacious bedrooms, each pair sharing a full bath, plus a separate wardrobe/linen room. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a private veranda overlooking the rear grounds, a marble vanity dressing room, a half bath, and access to an adjoining office or sitting room. The third-floor attic can accommodate a fifth bedroom, a flexible lofted living space, and a large cedar-lined closet perfect for storage. The lower-level basement, accessible through a separate side entrance, is brimming with potential to create a wine cellar, gym, or media room. Recent upgrades totaling over $200,000 include a new 50-year roof, 20-year warranty gutters, a multi-zone/8-unit air conditioning system, boiler, sunroom windows, updated plumbing, pool improvements, including a liner and pump as well as a refreshed landscaping with hundreds of specimen trees and bushes. Stunning walnut floors throughout with several bedroom level rooms, preserved under the carpeting. This property is sold with an additional lot, contributing to the estate’s size of almost two acres. Though cosmetic updates may be desired, the home’s structure, setting, and historic details offer a priceless foundation to create your dream home, a luxurious private estate, or a thriving hospitality venture. Conveniently located minutes to major highways, shopping, airports, and train stations, yet offering a peaceful, private atmosphere—this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to blend history, beauty, and business potential. ***Enjoy the virtual tour in both 2 and 3-D!”
