The Haldeman Estate
Delaware River Estate
Restaurant Designer Raymond Haldeman rescued this deteriorating abandoned “tear-down” property on the Delaware River Bay and turned it into this spectacular Gated Waterfront Estate. The Victorian Masterpiece built in 1889 sits on over 2 acres of land directly on the Delaware River Bay. Haldeman bought the neglected property because as a designer he instantly recognized its potential and planned to exploit its “one of kind architecture, size, privacy and waterfront location.” Stroll down the 100’ promenade to the waterfront and fish from the 200’ seawall, or relax on the wrap around Veranda and watch the majesty of the ships cruise by as the otters play. Magnificent sunsets happen here every night. Bird watchers will not need binoculars as Bald Eagles, Falcons, Bluejays, Woodpeckers, Cardinals and a variety of rare and exotic species populate the property’s 100’ high giant Oak, Maple and Birch trees.
The restored estate features 6 bedrooms and 3 baths with new mechanicals including all new plumbing, electric, gas service and HVAC central air/heat systems. Other amenities include Macauba Quartz countertops, 2 Washer Dryers and 3 artfully tiled full baths including a spa, a house kitchen, a separate catering kitchen with its own entrance for parties and a 3 car garage.
The entrance to the property is through dual steel electric swing gates and the house sits at the end of a new 200’’ long private driveway. The exterior of the property is fully illuminated with LED lighting.
