About this House

Circa 1866!! This post civil war Egyptian Revival Mansion is a true gem! This imposing home features a 4 column porch, enclosed Widow's Watch, 13' ceilings, brick fireplace, beautiful pumpkin pine wood floors, Koi pond w/fountain & a detached carriage house w/a 2nd floor 1 bedrm in law apartment over top of the 2 car garage. Access to the Widow's Watch is via a staircase. The attention to detail & the fine crafted woodwork makes this period style home a real rare find. The house features a grand staircase, built in china cabinet, French doors, South Jersey Glass Lantern & granite foundation. Many updates have been recently done including repointed foundation entirely done by hand, heater, some electrical, & copper gutters & down spouts. If you desire large rooms, fine woodwork, soaring ceilings & attention to detail, this is a must see home. 2 bedrms & 1 bath have not yet been renovated (will then be 2 1/2 bath) & much work needs to be done in those rooms. Due to this, the house is being sold in "as is condition.
