The house was sold to George Pierce for $650 in 1809. After his death in 1826, the property descended to Elizabeth Pierce Barr whose husband Robert was a planner and superintendent for the Frenchtown and New Castle Railroad Company, one of the first railroads in the United States. The rear portion of the house was built by a member of the DuPont family, bringing together a nice mixture of historic charm with modern conveniences. This end unit row house allows sunlight to enter both sides of the home, provides views of the beautiful Amstel House garden, and is located in the historic district of Old New Castle. The living room has old pine floors, new crown molding, a decorative fireplace and mantel. Following is the original sitting room with a decorative fireplace and new doorway which opens onto the side alley. Next is a newly painted dining room with plenty of windows followed by a new modern half bath. The rear of the house combines a large family room, kitchen and breakfast counter. Step down into the family room with custom made bookshelves, a vaulted ceiling with 6 skylights, a working gas fireplace, hardwood floors and sliding glass doors which open onto a deck where you can enjoy a beautiful garden with a garden shed. On the second floor are two large updated bedrooms with plenty of light and storage, a full bath and a separate laundry room with washer, dryer and utility sink. The third floor contains a large third bedroom or office and storage. A basement provides room for additional storage and work space.
