The Philip G. Reading House is a historic Frenchtown mansion ingeniously marrying the grandeur and quality of 19th century provenance with the style and convenience of luxurious, modern living. Commanding an incomparable hilltop location overlooking the town, river and rolling hills beyond, this c. 1868 Greek Revival & Italianate style manse was originally built for one of Frenchtown’s earliest industrial & community leaders. A full wrap-around porch leads to the grand foyer running the entire depth of the house where the charming period details and unique design features present throughout are immediately revealed. The formal dining room with decorative marble mantle is separated by pocket doors from the large scale living room. The warm and elegant chef’s kitchen features white marble countertops & backsplash, a large center island with bar seating, and a woodstove sat in the original walk-in hearth. Appliances include a Bertazzoni range, built-in Liebherr fridge, Miele dishwasher and custom iron vent hood. A hidden door is tucked behind cabinet panels, revealing a secret passage to the second floor via the original servant’s stairs. A comfortable family/gathering room adjoins the kitchen and leads back to the entry hall and the grand main stairway. On the second level, find four bedrooms of considerable proportion. Two baths serve the sleeping quarters – one with stone stall shower & steam room, and the other with a classic clawfoot tub. The remarkable third level is a magical place, designed as hidden tree house, complete with uniquely adorned built-in shelving, pitched roofline and special secret details throughout. From there, ascend one more level to the crowning Cupola with unrivaled, long range 360º views of the Delaware River, mountains, and village below. Outside find perennial gardens, stone paths and patio areas both front and back. Additional features include the basement wine cellar, heated detached garage, and three Tesla charging stations.
