1258 Bear Tavern Rd

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 private acres, the 5 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. Recently named to Preservation NJ's Ten Most Endangered Historic Places list, this tavern needs a steward who sees what it once was and what it could be again. Sold strictly as-is. A once-in-a-generation chance to save a piece of Revolutionary-era New Jersey. **Government agencies and approved nonprofits only for the first 7 days. Bids for this initial period are due by July 13, 2026 at 11:59PM Central time.
