Colonial

A classic country estate in its truest form, this charming vintage home offers a peaceful setting and bucolic views while answering the need for a quiet retreat or an ultimate work-from-home setting. Surrounded by over 13 acres it is centrally located in the heart of northern New Jersey's equestrian estate region and within an hour of New York City. Overlooking the Rockaway Creek, where blue heron and deer cross in the distant upstream waters, this circa 1840 Colonial and classic gleaming white barns have been updated, expanded and continuously improved upon to create an idyllic compound with a large pool and tennis court. An elevator serves three stories. Generously-proportioned rooms with approximately 7,600 sq ft of interior space provide the perfect opportunity to relax comfortably and entertain in either a simple or grand style. From the expansive 2-story great room and comfortably elegant living room to the warmly paneled library, the charm is palpable. A first floor suite with bedroom/office, family room and full bath is perfect for short or long-term guests. 4 bedrooms on the second floor include the primary suite with double baths plus sitting and dressing rooms. The grounds are wonderfully landscaped with extensive perennial beds, terraces and a sequestered pool. The barns include 6 stalls, hay storage and a small caretaker's room. This is a magical estate of great distinction within easy reach of Manhattan, Philadelphia or Princeton but away from highway noise.
