A Landmark Victorian. A Walkable Village. A Private Estate. There are homes you own... And there are homes that become part of a town's story. Set on one of the largest residential parcels in the Borough of Milford, this extraordinary Victorian estate occupies .55 beautifully landscaped acres while placing you just steps from one of Pennsylvania's most celebrated historic villages. A home of this scale, on this much land, within walking distance of fine dining, boutiques, galleries, parks, the Delaware River and everyday conveniences is an opportunity that rarely comes to market. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, the residence has been thoughtfully preserved while embracing modern luxury. Rich chestnut millwork, soaring ceilings and twenty-five Tiffany-style stained glass windows create an atmosphere that simply cannot be recreated today. Every room reflects an era when homes were built as works of art, yet every improvement has been made with comfortable daily living in mind. The kitchen naturally becomes the heart of the home, beautifully renovated with KraftMaid cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, a pot filler, custom storage and thoughtful details that make entertaining effortless. Whether preparing intimate family dinners or hosting holidays that become lifelong memories, the spaces flow with warmth and purpose. Outside, the experience becomes something altogether different. Beyond the fully fenced grounds lies a private resort hidden within the borough itself. A sparkling pool, shaded cabana, mature gardens and specimen trees create an outdoor sanctuary where afternoons stretch into evenings and summer gatherings become traditions. Relax beneath the maple tree in a hammock, entertain poolside, or begin the morning on the expansive front porch as the sun rises over Ann Street Memorial Park-a peaceful ritual the current owners have treasured for twenty-five years. Few places offer such remarkable walkability. Stroll to Milford's acclaimed restaurants, charming coffee shops, boutiques and the historic downtown. Walk to Milford Beach before joining the scenic McDade Trail along the Delaware River. Children can enjoy the park just across the street while professionals appreciate easy access to New York City, northern New Jersey, Connecticut and the Hudson Valley. Recent improvements--including a new roof, chimney and septic system allow the next owner to enjoy the home's historic character with confidence and peace of mind. Some homes impress with their architecture. Others inspire with their setting. Very few offer both while becoming woven into the fabric of one of Pennsylvania's most treasured historic communities. The beauty of this home extends well beyond its architecture. It lives as comfortably on an ordinary Tuesday morning as it does when filled with family for the holidays. That balance--between grandeur and warmth--is what makes it so rare. Some homes preserve history. This one invites you to become part of it.
