A historic gem nestled amongst rural tranquility… as you approach this 1741 colonial with formal cut flagstones and perfectly placed windows, you just know this was a home built in a grand style for a wealthy country gentleman and his family. Fortunately, most of the period details are still intact. There is a working fireplace in every room of the original house; the secondary rooms share a corner chimney back-to-back, with formal carved wood mantelpieces and imported tile. The great room has a large walk-in fireplace and two oversized doors with massive strap hinges. You’ll find chair rails on both floors, as well as formal built-in corner cabinets and wide-plank flooring throughout.
This 154 acre farm contains two separate parcels. The long stone summer kitchen built near the corner of the house with a wall of windows could easily be used as a studio, and a spring house with copula completes the historic flavor of this Revolutionary-era homestead. A charming 2-bedroom guest cottage and 2 car detached garage, as well as two red barns and silo complete the farmstead.
Beautiful, serene and unpreserved, this farm is one of Hunterdon County’s best examples of early settlers. Just over an hour to New York City!
