The Main Residence & Artful Interiors
Iron fencing with sturdy stone posts and an inviting portico guide you to the front entrance. Inside, rich wood flooring flows across a sun-drenched, open-concept living and dining space:
• The Fireplaces: An exquisite, custom-carved stone fireplace takes center stage, showcasing intricate relief details of opposing griffins (winged guardians) and delicate floral embellishments. A second wood-burning stone fireplace anchors the main living area.
• The Living Space: Relax by the expansive picture window, framing panoramic river views and a front-row seat to the area's natural beauty. Paneled accent walls add warmth and character to the open layout.
• The Kitchen: Brimming with a distinct vintage cottage vibe, and pairs practical open shelving and a sweet, unexpected storage nook for collectibles, silver, and glassware with a stainless-steel double-basin countertop sink.
• Upper & Lower Levels: The second floor features a primary suite boasting vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, deep window sills, and an antique built-in linen cabinet, alongside a freshly completed primary bathroom finished with a crisp subway-tiled stall shower. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a pristine hall bath complete this level. Below, the full basement provides dedicated utility rooms, a laundry area, a workshop, and space tailored for a custom wine cellar.
Multi-Tiered Gardens & Outdoor "Ruin"
The exterior grounds are an idyllic, ultra-private country sanctuary comprising flowering trees, lush perennial gardens, and two distinct lawn areas:
• The Covered Entertainment Porch: A large covered porch featuring solid stone flooring serves as the ultimate spot for al fresco dining. Nearby sits a gorgeous stone-carved sink—a permanent signature statement left by the former artisan owners.
• "The Ruin": Follow the winding stone steps down to the lower terrace, affectionately dubbed "the ruin," which forms a breathtaking stone perch to soak in the expansive, unobstructed views of the river and Hunterdon County.
Versatile Stand-Alone Outbuildings
• The South-End Studio: This separate, stand-alone structure is bound to capture your imagination. Featuring solid wood floors and exposed brick walls, the upper level boasts a Juliet balcony framing tempting river views—ideal for an inspiring artist's studio or executive home office. Directly beneath sits the former stone carving workshop, complete with its own fireplace and direct rear-yard access.
• The North-End Garage: A detached, oversized two-car garage provides two exceptionally deep stalls on the first level. The spacious upper level offers excellent bonus storage capacity, perfect for housing recreational equipment, gear, and river toys.
