Thorough and thoughtful renovations blending period-appropriate details and modern amenities inside and out give this home exceptional warmth and functionality. The welcoming eat-in kitchen features soapstone counters, high-end appliances, and custom hand-planed cabinetry. Large first-floor gathering rooms feature stunning fireplaces, raised paneling, exposed beams, wide-board floors, and landscaped views. The primary bedroom suite has a bedroom with a paneled fireplace and box beams, a sunny bathroom with marble mosaic floor, shower, and clawfoot tub; dressing room; two large walk-in closets; and laundry area. Secondary bedrooms feature striking millwork and box beams and share a renovated hall bathroom. Third floor features bedroom (currently used as a library) and office. Seven fireplaces (some decorative) enhance the warmth and colonial charm. Systems include a gas-fired boiler, central air conditioning, and public sewer. The large, partially-finished carriage house has two levels (both with high ceilings), hand-hewn posts and beams, a masonry walk-in fireplace, and workshop. The large, secluded backyard with privacy wall and fences, antique brick patios and walkways, striking boxwood parterre, fountain, and mature flowering trees and shrubs (supported by the home's south-facing greenhouse) complete this exceptional vintage property sited on the most desirable street in Oldwick Village, convenient to Route 78 and shopping and recreation areas.
