About This Home
As of January 2021Welcome to Historic Hightstown. This well maintained and updated Victorian home abounds with pride of ownership. The inviting wrap around porch adorned with carved gingerbread adds to the outstanding curb appeal. This deep porch provides plenty of space to gather and watch the passers-by. Welcome your guests through leaded glass double doors with transom above into the foyer with its curved staircase and wood floors. Step into the formal parlor and show off the stunning marble fireplace and extra large windows. The adjoining formal dining room boasts a walk out bay of windows that lets in tons of light as well as providing even more space for a long dining table, allowing you to host the family get togethers with ease and comfort. Step through the wood-columned doorway into the second parlor, which can also be accessed directly from the foyer. This versatile space could be tailored to your needs. You'll find another bay of windows, another cozy fireplace and plenty of space. Create a casual family room, or perhaps a study space for home schooling, or an office for the work-at-home professional. The huge kitchen has many features that will appeal to everyone, from the granite counters and tumbled tile backsplash to the sheer size of the space, even including a breakfast bar for quick or casual meals. You're sure to enjoy cooking for your guests and family. The wood floors continue to the second level, where you'll discover generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space. These bedrooms share the full bathroom which also features a jetted tub, where you can soothe away the stress of the day. On the upper level, you will find the fourth bedroom and fully renovated en-suite bathroom. If you're looking for backyard where you can host the neighborhood barbecues, you've found it! The covered porch and open deck provide plenty of room to create multiple areas for lounging and dining. The rear yard is the perfect place for all the yard games. Fully fenced, this space is a rare find. Two levels of storage in the barn provide plenty of space for the "yard toys" and outside furniture as well as the garage area for two cars. Own a piece of history, just steps from charming downtown Hightstown where you'll find some great dining options (including farm to table), fun along the lake or just watching the waterfall at the bridge, and even more things to do in this vibrant little town. Hightstown is also convenient to the NJ Turnpike and routes 1 and 130, making it easy to get anywhere. Get ready to schedule your private tour of this spectacular home, but be prepared to call this one "Home."
