About This Home

As of October 2021

Rare opportunity to own a classic 1856 colonial farmhouse on a private country lane in sought after Cranbury. This well loved and updated home is a perfect combination of vintage charm and modern convenience. The warm paneled living room features a large stone framed wood burning fireplace (perfect for cozy winter evenings), oak floors and lots of windows.
Fabulous new eat in kitchen in 2020 with granite counters, wide plank pine floors and white shaker cabinets. Just off the kitchen is a bright airy family room or den with new cabinetry, granite counters and beverage cooler. A powder room, laundry/ pantry and storage closet complete the ground floor. The three bedrooms and full bath are located on the second floor. A large bluestone patio is perfect for summer gatherings and peaceful Sunday mornings. Updates and improvements include newer roof, insulation, electrical panel with generator hook up, storm doors and newer windows
The large, level and professionally maintained yard is a gardeners delight and includes a 100 year old Mountain Laurel, enormous Japanese Yew and various other wonderful shrubs, flowers and trees. It is absolutely stunning in the spring and provides abundant privacy and shade throughout the summer.
A special and much loved home!
