19th Century Treasure with Glorious Grounds

523 South Main Street, Hightstown, New Jersey 08520 United States

Municipality:Hightstown Borough

A cherished presence on Main Street since 1854, this handsome colonial has evolved over the years to accommodate modern life, yet additions, renovations and the surrounding gardens were carefully orchestrated to complement the original 19th century floor plan, still in impressive condition. High velocity central air to cool. Fireplaces grace most rooms and range from ornately mantelled to simply functional, like the one in the kitchen joined by custom-crafted furniture-style cabinetry and a soapstone apron sink. Telltale signs of a former “winter kitchen” remain in the current family room, while the old “summer kitchen” is now a sunroom with glorious views of the yard, where perennials are abundant and a hot tub hides behind an evergreen screen. Dutch doors open to a covered side porch, a more intimate alternative to the big stone patio. Before heading upstairs, be sure to have a peek at the utterly charming powder room and explore the spotless basement. One of two laundry options is housed in the smallest of four bedrooms, all of which have wide plank floors. A sunny hall bath is exceptionally large with a separate soaking tub and the main suite bath is dressed in marble-veined tile with a dressing room adjoining. An oversized garage with workshop and extra parking complete this timeless property within a short stroll of public and private schools, the local beer garden and more!
