Description
Often admired and now available, this iconic Middlesex Borough home, set in the desirable Beechwood Heights section, is a rare opportunity to own a home of exceptional character, craftsmanship & architectural significance. A wraparound rocking-chair porch welcomes you home, but it is the stunning reception hall beyond that leaves a lasting impression. Anchored by a magnificent U-shaped staircase with landing, the grand foyer showcases rich millwork, stately columns, soaring cased openings, decorative leaded-glass windows & beautifully preserved field-and-frame hardwood floors that set the tone for the exceptional details found throughout. Designed for both elegant entertaining & comfortable everyday living, the home features gracious formal living & dining rooms, a warm & inviting family rm w/ woodburning fireplace, a butler's pantry & a spacious eat-in kitchen appointed w/ custom cabinetry & built-ins. Oversized windows fill the home w/ natural light & frame peaceful views of the park-like setting. The 2nd flr offers a generous primary suite w/ private bath & WIC, 4 additional bedrooms, hall bath, laundry area & flexible bonus space ideal for a home office, hobby rm or 6th BR. A walk-up attic provides even more possibilities, while a 1st-flr powder rm w/ space for expansion to a full bath + a detached 2-car garage add convenience. More than just a home, this is a treasured piece of this town's history. Ready for its next great story, this home is sold in 'AS IS' condition.
