40 S CANAL STREET

YARDLEY, PA19067

Experience life along the Delaware Canal in the heart of historic Yardley Borough. Set behind a classic white picket fence with direct access to the Delaware Canal towpath, this distinctive home, believed to date to the early-to-mid 1800s, beautifully blends rich history, timeless farmhouse charm, thoughtful updates, and the warmth of small-town living. Adding to the home's storied past are local accounts of former ownership by the area's fire company and possible connections to the Underground Railroad. While these stories have become part of the home's enduring legacy, they remain unconfirmed by historical records. Inside, wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed hand-hewn beams, handcrafted built-ins, rich wood finishes, and a classic wood-burning stove reflect the craftsmanship of another era. A thoughtfully updated kitchen and central air conditioning provide modern comfort while honoring the home's historic roots. Natural light fills the enclosed sunroom overlooking the Delaware Canal, creating a peaceful retreat to enjoy the changing seasons. Step outside to the backyard with direct access to the historic Delaware Canal towpath, where miles of scenic trails invite walking, biking, and exploring the beauty of Bucks County. The main level includes a full bathroom and convenient laundry area. Upstairs are two bedrooms with built-in shelving, a full bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot tub, and a walk-in closet. An unfinished basement provides additional storage, utility space, and workshop potential. Enjoy everything Yardley Borough has to offer, including shopping, restaurants, the Delaware River waterfront, and year-round community events, all within walking distance. Conveniently located near I-95, Route 1, SEPTA rail service to Philadelphia, and nearby rail service to New York City, this home offers the charm of Borough living with easy access to major commuting routes. The property currently has a valid Yardley Borough short-term rental permit. Buyers should verify all zoning, rental requirements, licensing, and permitted uses with the appropriate municipal authorities. Property is being sold as-is.
