3 Bridge Street, Stockton, Nj 08559

Extraordinary 1868 riverfront estate — fully reimagined, historically rich, and singular in character. Perfectly sited on the D&R Canal in the storybook village of Stockton, this dramatic renovation fuses original 19th‑century bones with luminous contemporary design: vaulted open‑beam ceilings, original pine and new oak floors, and a chef’s kitchen anchored by a Carrara marble island and the finest appliances including a 6 burner Viking commercial range. Polished cement floors with radiant heat on the first level AND the second level, a cozy wood‑burning antique hearth off the kitchen with fabulous vaulted ceiling with French doors that open to the pergola and patio. Through the dining room French doors AND the kitchen French doors you enter serenity.

Upstairs is the primary with a remote‑operated fireplace to create a warm, sophisticated balance of comfort and style along with a full bathroom with walk-in shower and a guest room.

Step outside to an exquisitely landscaped, canal‑facing entertaining terrace — a rare private oasis that opens directly to the towpath. Mornings on the deck, afternoons wandering to Lambertville’s antiques or New Hope’s restaurants and theater, evenings of riverfront serenity: this is life along the Delaware at its most elegant and effortless. Walk to the newly renovated and highly rated Stockton Inn and soon, the newly opened/refurbished Center Bridge Inn just across the bridge to Pa!

Beyond the curb appeal lies an evocative industrial past: the property sits on land once occupied by the Stockton Spoke Works — the legendary spoke‑making and turnery operation tied to Stockton’s 19th‑century mill economy. Local archival records recount the Case family’s mill and spoke factory, a notable 1877 fire, and subsequent sales of the factory parcel in the late 1870s. Historic maps and deed accounts indicate that earlier configurations of the site included additional buildings or ancillary dwellings (the lot historically appeared on older listings as 1 Bridge St and is now referenced as 3 Bridge St). We are continuing archival research to fully document the footprint and stories of the earlier structures and will provide a detailed historical brief to the new owner.

This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously renovated home that not only delivers luxury finishes and modern systems but also carries the tangible legacy of Stockton’s canal‑era industry and village life.
