Description
Set against the backdrop of the historic Delaware Canal this exceptional residence offers a level of privacy and serenity that is increasingly difficult to find. Beyond the home itself lies a landscape that has been thoughtfully designed to inspire and impress--magnificent terraced gardens, winding stone pathways, specimen plantings, dramatic retaining walls, and extensive low-voltage landscape lighting transform the property into a private resort-like sanctuary.
From the moment you arrive, the artistry of the stonework commands attention. Bluestone walkways and handcrafted stone terraces gracefully guide you through lush gardens and manicured grounds, creating an unforgettable first impression. As evening falls, the illuminated landscape takes on a magical quality, casting a warm glow across the property and highlighting the beauty of every garden bed, pathway, and mature tree.
At the heart of the outdoor experience is an expansive entertaining terrace overlooking the gardens and canal beyond. Whether hosting elegant dinner parties, enjoying morning coffee, or gathering with friends beneath the stars, the setting is nothing short of spectacular. The adjoining gazebo, crafted from red cedar and mahogany, provides a four-season retreat where one can relax while surrounded by nature in every direction.
Inside, the residence offers beautifully appointed living spaces enhanced by custom millwork, handcrafted cabinetry, rich hardwood flooring, and thoughtfully curated finishes throughout. A remarkable library showcases exquisite built-in woodwork and provides a sophisticated retreat for reading or conversation. A private office suite with its own entrance offers exceptional flexibility for today's work-from-home lifestyle, while an additional study creates yet another inviting space to work, create, or unwind.
The gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, radiant heated flooring, custom cabinetry, and seamless access to the outdoor living spaces. The home's advanced mechanical systems include six-zone HVAC with steam humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air scrubbers, whole-house generator, security system with video monitoring, and temperature-controlled attic insulation, delivering comfort and peace of mind year-round.
The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary highlighted by a spa-inspired bath featuring an oversized marble shower with tranquil views toward the Delaware Canal and seasonal Delaware River vistas. A Scandinavian sauna further elevates the home's wellness experience.
With Delaware Canal frontage along the rear of the property, seasonal river views, preserved woodland surroundings, and gardens that rival those of a private estate, 15 Stafford Place offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a home where nature, luxury, and lifestyle exist in perfect harmony.
