40 S Canal Street • Yardley, PA 19067

Rare opportunity along the historic Delaware Canal in the heart of Yardley Borough. This charming farmhouse-style home is full of character and set in one of the most desirable locations in town. With its classic façade, picket fence, and picturesque canal backdrop, the setting alone is something special. Steeped in local history, the home is believed to date back to the early–mid 1800s, with some accounts suggesting it may be even older. It is understood that the structure was originally located across the street on what is now the Wawa site before being relocated to its current canal-front setting in August of 1965. Over the years, the property has been tied to a number of intriguing local stories, including reported prior ownership by the local fire company and possible connections to the Underground Railroad. While these details add to the home’s unique narrative and charm, they are based on historical accounts and are not formally documented. Step inside to the formal living room, where original wide-plank hardwood floors and abundant natural light create a warm and welcoming first impression. The space flows into the main living areas, where exposed wood beams, rich wood tones, and a classic wood-burning stove serve as a cozy focal point, creating an inviting atmosphere true to the home’s historic design. The kitchen continues the home’s timeless appeal with exposed beams, original wide-plank flooring, and handcrafted cabinetry that reflect a simpler time. Vintage details and built-in elements create an authentic farmhouse feel, while offering excellent potential for restoration and thoughtful updating. Just beyond, the enclosed sunroom is filled with natural light and offers serene views of the Delaware Canal, an ideal space to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. Step outside to enjoy the exterior yard setting with the canal and towpath just steps away, perfect for walking, biking, and enjoying the outdoors. A convenient main-level full bath and laundry area complete the first floor. Upstairs, the home features cozy, character-filled bedrooms with unique layouts and built-in shelving, with closet space reflective of the home’s historic design. A full bath with a charming clawfoot tub and walk-in closet adds to the home’s character. The home also includes an unfinished basement with a utility area and workbench space, offering additional storage and functionality. Located within Yardley Borough’s historic Canal Street corridor, where many homes date back to the 1800s, and within walking distance to local shops, dining, and the riverfront, this is a truly special opportunity to restore, reimagine, or simply own a piece of the borough’s past.
