Description

An antique farmhouse in Far Hills overlooking an idyllic pond and gently rolling grounds presents scenery reminiscent of a Currier and Ives print. Set on over 11 ½ expansive acres, the property contains a large bank barn, a two-car garage with potting shed and dog kennel and original structures such as a stone root cellar and smoke house. Surrounding the home are perennial gardens, stone walls, brick pathways and a bluestone terrace. Period details fill the gracious rooms with warmth and character. Wide board flooring, four brick fireplaces, bay windows and beamed ceilings are among the exceptional design elements. A neutrally-decorated layout provides four bedrooms and two-and-one-half baths. This home’s point of entry is a welcoming hall foyer fitted with wood floors. Natural light streams through a large bay window with a window seat in the wood-paneled living room, where the focal point is a handsome fireplace. French doors in the living room open into the three-season sun room with a wet bar, brick flooring and window walls offering beautiful garden views. In the formal dining room, beamed ceilings and an antique mantled corner fireplace are classic touches. Another corner fireplace anchors the den, while a woodstove insert warms this inviting room. A bay window with window seat, built-in bookshelves and vintage wood floors are charming additions. The stylish country kitchen offers a corner fireplace with woodstove insert, Corian countertops, a tile backsplash and pond views. It connects to an office with beamed ceilings. Tucked behind a Dutch door is the newer, updated laundry room. Upstairs, the spacious master suite provides a bedroom, dressing room with multiple closets, and master bath with separate shower and tub. Three more bedrooms on this level share another full bath. Endless charm, architectural integrity and a central Somerset County location combine to make this Far Hills farmhouse a special offering.
