Located on the "island" of Titusville--a picturesque community nestled between the Delaware River and Delaware-Raritan canal, this beautiful arts-and-crafts style home is surrounded by the beauty of nature and separated from the "real world" by three quaint canal bridges. The home is located in an enclave of homes where neighbors truly look out for one another while also having great respect for each other's privacy. Neighborhood events give you an opportunity to make new friends and become an integral part of the community. These include The annual Fourth of July parade and festivities (run by volunteers, which you can watch from your own porchfront), multi-family yard sale in May, holiday caroling, and re-enactment of George Washington crossing the Delaware River each Christmas Day. The "island" newsletter (started by a budding young editor) keeps everyone connected. Titusville also houses three churches within an easy walk from the home. The Trenton Train station, just a 15 minute drive from the home, provides easy transportation to New York City, Philadelphia and Princeton (many in the neighborhood commute to these locations everyday). The home is also close to many universities and colleges including Lehigh, University of Pennsylvania, Drexel, Rutgers, College of New Jersey, Princeton University and Rider University. Families with children in school love being part of the Hopewell School District, and the bus stop is just across the street--a convenient place where parents gather in the morning for chatting, cups of coffee in hand. The home is also within an easy one-mile stroll to the famous Washington's Crossing Park and the house has views of Bucks County, PA, which is just across the river. The canal path, a few steps from the back door is perfect for biking, jogging, strolling and cross-country skiing. The home neighbors the antique shops, art galleries and restaurants of New Hope, PA and Lambertville, NJ (a 10-minute drive or six mile bike ride along the canal path), and the The Golden Nugget Antique Flea Market. If you're the adventurous type, you might enjoy hiking the numerous trails in Washington Crossing Park (less than a mile from the home) taking kayaking lessons, or taking a scenic drive to discover the eleven covered bridges of Bucks County, PA. For those who enjoy nature or activities like fishing, birdwatching, boating, biking, walking, watching sunsets, nature walks or reading by the river, the home is a paradise and offers a very relaxing, special lifestyle. In addition to the river just out your doorstep, Titusville is also a convenient base for easy day trips to the Sesame Place (15 minute drive) Jersey beaches (one-hour drive), Six Flags Great Adventure theme park (30-minute drive), tubing down the Delaware, and steam train and boat rides out of New Hope, PA. If you enjoy theater, you will love having the Open Air theater in Washington Crossing Park nearby during summer months, or the Bucks County theater in New Hope, PA or McCarter Theater in Princeton, NJ, both which feature well-known actors all year round.
