About the Listing KURFISS - 3119673

From the street, this distinctive Lambertville residence offers only a hint of what lies within. Step inside to discover a remarkably spacious and highly individual home where historic character, European influences and sophisticated contemporary design come together beautifully. The main living room makes an immediate impression with a hand-applied silver-leaf feature wall and discreet built-in speakers, creating an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The adjoining dining room is anchored by a sculptural steel and hand-blown Murano glass light fixture, one of many artisan details found throughout the home. The updated kitchen pairs beauty with functionality, featuring microcrete countertops, custom stonework surrounding the island and generous workspace. Just beyond, the reimagined powder room is a jewel-box space with an antique marble-topped washstand, vintage metal basin and 19th-century copper faucets. Even the staircase has been thoughtfully considered, with refinished railings and an understated black-on-black Saint James motif along the risers. Upstairs, the European-inspired aesthetic continues. An elegantly appointed bath incorporates antique hardware personally sourced from markets in France and Austria, while the primary bedroom features a warm gold-leaf accent wall. UV protection on the skylights helps preserve the interior finishes while maintaining abundant natural light. Historic character is complemented by thoughtfully upgraded modern infrastructure, including dual-zone HVAC, meticulously maintained electrical systems, a propane-powered generator with professionally installed transfer switch and a Ruckus network system that enhances internet and mobile connectivity throughout the residence. The basement has remained completely dry throughout the current owner’s entire period of residence—an especially reassuring attribute in a historic home. Outside, the private rear space has been extensively finished in brick and thoughtfully landscaped with all-weather plantings for low-maintenance enjoyment, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Perhaps most appealing is the sense of discovery throughout the home. It lives substantially larger than its exterior suggests, with naturally flowing rooms and an exceptional collection of materials, finishes and architectural details. Buyers drawn to the complete aesthetic may also have the opportunity to purchase the residence largely furnished or potentially turnkey, including handmade and designer pieces sourced through the San Francisco Design Center. A singular Lambertville residence combining craftsmanship, provenance and distinctive design with the comfort and convenience of thoughtfully upgraded modern systems.
