1181 Bear Tavern Rd
Set behind gates on a sprawling fenced corner lot, this classic Cape carries the kind of character that cannot be recreated. Mature plantings surround the property, softening the landscape and creating a sense of privacy that feels established from the moment you arrive. A covered rocking-chair front porch welcomes with timeless charm, while the grounds unfold into thoughtful gardens and a picturesque pond woven naturally into the setting. Inside, the home is warm, gracious, and designed for real living. The spacious dine-in kitchen seamlessly connects to the mudroom and family room, where an original walk-in fireplace anchors the space with history and warmth. In the living room, built-in bookcases and a second fireplace create an inviting backdrop. The layout offers both flexibility and comfort. The two first-floor bedrooms each feature their own en suite bath. Upstairs, the second floor lives like a private homeowner’s haven with a generous primary suite, bathroom, second-floor laundry, and an additional bedroom currently used as a home office. Perfectly positioned near Washington Crossing Historic Park and the Delaware River towns, the home is also part of the highly regarded Hopewell Valley Regional School District.
