About this home

Purchased and thoughtfully reimagined by a master craftsman, here is a rare example of a historic home restored with both respect for the past and an eye toward modern living. Set on just over an acre in South Brunswick, the property has been renovated to a standard that is difficult to achieve and even harder to find. Every inch of this home has been carefully refurbished, preserving original character wherever possible while seamlessly integrating modern elements. The result is a home that feels both timeless and completely move-in ready. Adding to the charm of the property is a beautiful three-bay garage with loft above. Inside, the home is remarkably spacious for its era, offering five bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a convenient bedroom and full bath on the first floor. The craftsman-inspired kitchen blends warm quality with cabinetry built in a furniture style with pedestal feet, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a Wolf gas range. Just beyond, a generous mudroom with laundry hookups provides everyday ease. The main living spaces are large and flexible, designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles. A formal dining room centers around a repointed wood-burning fireplace, while a bright four-season sunroom serves perfectly as a breakfast room, featuring double French doors that open gracefully into the home. Additional oversized rooms can function as living and family rooms, a home office, or whatever suits your needs. Upstairs are four more bright bedrooms and two newly constructed bathrooms, all thoughtfully designed. Throughout the house, original doors, hardware, and woodwork were preserved and restored whenever possible, maintaining the authentic character that makes homes like this so special. Additional features include two-zone HVAC, gas heat, public water and sewer, and a basement accessible from both inside and outside. The hard work has already been done. Simply move in and enjoy!
