Picture perfect 3 BR, 2 1/2 bath Colonial in the heart of Califon. Extensively updated with newer gas boiler, natural gas, city water, 2 car oversized detached garage. This historic gem provides modern conveniences, but perfectly captures the charm of days gone by. Interior features include a country kitchen with higher-end appliances, granite countertops, decorative beamed ceilings, gas fireplace, hall bath with clawfoot tub, a partially finished walkout basement and lovely finished attic with skylight. Set on over a quarter acre, the exterior includes a wrap around porch, a detached 2 car garage with storage and workshop area, and a fenced-in backyard with patio and hot tub, the perfect place to relax and unwind. Califon hosts many events including a Fall Harvest Festival, Memorial Day and Halloween Parades, Firemen's pancake breakfasts, and more. Nearby are the Columbia Trail for hiking and biking, historic general stores, premiere trout fishing in the Ken Lockwood Gorge (named one of the ten most beautiful places in the state by NJ Monthly magazine), apple and peach picking, to name a few. This quaint town inspired the short story "The Greatest Gift", written by Phillip Van Doren Stern. The story would later be made into the iconic movie, "It's A Wonderful Life."
