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, and 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 oak millwork, stately columns, soaring cased openings, decorative leaded-glass windows, and beautifully preserved hardwood floors that set the tone for the remarkable details found throughout. Designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the home features gracious formal living and dining rooms, a warm and inviting family room with a wood-burning fireplace, a Butler's Pantry and a spacious eat-in kitchen appointed with custom cabinetry and built-ins. Oversized windows fill the home with natural light and frame peaceful views of the park-like setting. The second floor offers a generous primary suite with private bath and walk-in closet, four additional bedrooms, a hall bath, laundry area, and a flexible bonus space ideal for a home office, hobby room, or potential sixth bedroom. A walk-up attic provides even more possibilities, while a first-floor powder room with space for expansion to a full bath and a detached two-car garage add convenience. More than just a home, this is a treasured piece of this town's history - an admired residence where timeless elegance, remarkable craftsmanship, and enduring beauty come together to create something truly special. Now ready for its next great story, this home is sold in 'AS IS' condition.
