Off a narrow lane along the Delaware River sits this relaxed country retreat.

The home’s first floor was raised above the flood line; a fact disguised through use of retaining walls, grading and generous plantings.
What could be more casual than this gravel dropoff graced with summertime plantings?
Brick steps penetrate the wall, leading you up to a broad lawn area and onto the front door.
The rear terrace spreads out to take in the broad river view.
Steps lead you back down to a lawn terrace framed with boxwood hedges.
Over to the side and down a set of steps sits a uniquely shaped pool and spa. Irregular flagstone adds a casual air.
Well-planted stone walls define the pool area; lush lawns lead back to the rear terraces.
An octagonal, airy cabana sits on axis with the pool. Note the lawn comes right up to the pool on the opposite side.
Ample sweeps of groundcover, hedges and choice bits of whimsical site elements ensure this garden will have interest year-round.
