In a location that feels plucked from a postcard, this 1870s train station has been transformed into a destination landmark, currently playing home to one of New Jersey’s most sought-after restaurants. Perched next to the scenic Delaware River and the Upper Black Eddy-Milford Bridge to Pennsylvania, yet not in the flood zone, this lovingly restored building is a living piece of history, a design triumph, and an investment opportunity all wrapped into a perfect, one-of-a-kind gem of a package! Originally built to serve the bustling rail lines of the 19th century, the building was extensively renovated from 2017 to 2019, retaining its historic character while embracing a sophisticated new aesthetic. No expense was spared in the impeccable restoration and refurbishment, and it is evident both front of house and behind the scenes. Original chestnut woodwork evokes a bygone era, while Farrow & Ball flourishes, and custom designed lighting add richness and depth. Even the original waiting room bench was transformed into a banquette in one of the dining rooms, offering guests a seat steeped in history. With Downtown Business (B) zoning, the property is suited for a wide range of uses beyond dining, including retail, banking, offices, childcare, bakery, community hub, or creative studios, to name a few. Yet for those in the restaurant world, it’s an incredible opportunity to step into a fully operational space with every detail already perfected by two of the industry’s most revered chefs. The floor plan consists of a reception room with the original spiral staircase to an office overlooking the intimate patio garden and the bridge, two front dining rooms, one with a service counter, sink, two lavatories (one accessible), and a janitorial closet. The open-concept kitchen is in the station’s former freight room. It features two Wolf six-burner cooktops/ovens, custom stainless-steel wraparound counters and shelves, and a Carrara marble counter that doubles as a kitchen workspace and counter seating, hood exhaust with fire suppression system, and a wood-burning fireplace. This large, high-ceiling room also houses a dining area that can accommodate two long communal tables, making it a fantastic event space. The separate prep kitchen includes a triple sink, a stainless-steel counter with a prep sink, and attic access for storage. The basement, with its stone walls and new floor, houses the mechanicals and additional equipment, including a walk-in refrigerator, storage, water softening filtration system, and laundry hook-up. The building’s exterior includes a large patio and a wraparound deck with an awning roof for outdoor dining, an accessible entrance, and 15 parking spaces, including two accessible. Utilities include oil heat, propane for cooking, electric, public water, and sewer, with central A/C in the main dining areas and a split-duct AC system in the kitchen. Whether envisioned as a center for creativity, culinary adventure, or commerce, this iconic riverside station, rich with architectural detail, stands ready to inspire its next chapter.
