An inspiring "East Jersey Cottage" and likely the oldest home in Mendham Boro's Historic District, where steps from the front lawn the annual Labor Day parade marches by. Upon entering this lovingly cared for cedar shake roofed Colonial, you sense the history this home is steeped in. A wooden beamed dining room with painted wood floors will hold memorable dinners and celebrations, while breezes from the mahogany screened porch sweep the evening air in. The open kitchen has ample cabinets topped with granite and includes a separate, charming pantry with window, bookshelves and storage. A formal living room with wide plank floors is both light filled and architecturally interesting, with beamed ceilings, built-in bookcases and fireplace; just beyond a comfortable family room is positioned off the kitchen. A full bath and laundry closet finish the first floor. The primary suite has been created by combining two bedrooms, forming a sleep space with beamed cross ties and vaulted ceiling.The bath, with echoed beam cross ties, features a soaking tub and glass enclosed shower. A second sunlit bedroom and half bath are found on the second floor. Beyond the screened back door, fresh lawns and mature trees surround a brick patio and path wandering towards the red barn.This vintage building contains a garage and storage room below an artist's loft, with wood plank floors and tray ceilings and a potential additional 'bedroom'.
