About this home
History lives here. Built c. 1746, this former tavern is said to have once anchored Washington's Bear Tavern Road march to Trenton. Set on 8.41 acres, the 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathroom home retains pumpkin pine floors, hand-hewn beams, and stone fireplaces. This is a significant restoration opportunity the property requires work but for the right buyer, preservation tax credits and revolving loan programs through the NJ Historic Trust may help offset costs, if eligible. Recently named to Preservation NJ's Ten Most Endangered Historic Places list, this house needs a steward who can bring it back to life. Sold strictly as-is. A once-in-a-generation chance to save a piece of Revolutionary-era New Jersey. HUD-owned property. **Now open to owner-occupants, government agencies and approved nonprofits. Bids are due for this bidding period on July 18, 2026 at 11:59 PM CT.
