Step into your time machine and travel back to 1825 in comfort and splendor. Thiselegant home, lovingly known as “Pin Oak Farm,” has been restored to its original levelof elegance, while adding the comforts and conveniences of present-day living. Thisestate is set on nearly 1.09 acres of rolling lawn, featuring many grand old trees, fruittrees, an herb garden, and a vegetable garden. Like many historic homes, this one wasbuilt in stages, with additions in 1849 and the 1930s.Pin Oak Farm harkens back to the era of Joshua Stokes, its original owner, who was aprominent Quaker farmer. Its 5,400 square feet includes 5 bedrooms (with potential for2 more), 4 ½ baths, and three staircases. Ceiling heights range from 9 to 11 ½ feet, andthere are spectacular New Jersey Red Pine Heart floors throughout.The pillared front porch welcomes you home each day with stately charm, remindingyou of the storied footsteps that have crossed its threshold for almost 200 years. Ifthese walls could talk! In true center hall colonial style, the large foyer opens to twinparlors, each boasting a fireplace. One parlor is presently used as a family room, whilethe other opens into a formal living room / music room. Numerous original blown-glassceiling-height windows – many with lovely, deep-set windowsills – let in an abundanceof light.Pin Oak Farm offers nine fireplaces – four wood, four gas, and one electric – all workingand each unique, with one boasting still-pristine Delft tile. Imagine the fragrance ofoak wood crackling in the fireplace on a spring or autumn day, while aromas of bananabread emanate from one of two kitchens. The main kitchen boasts plenty of finecabinetry, imported Italian tile, an eating alcove, shelves for cookbooks, a wall oven,and a professional-caliber Garland range. Adjacent to the main kitchen is a secondarykitchen with a wood-fire pizza oven. Imagine the parties you can host here!Outside, in addition to the flower garden areas and a very large pool, you’ll find twodriveways and 3 patios, which includes one loggia, and one with an intimate courtyardsetting. The current owners have erected a 2 car post-and-beam barn with a loft storagearea which was brought down from Connecticut and assembled on the property. Theyretained the original footprint of the equipment shed, which it replaced. In addition, thereis another outbuilding, the original ice house for the property, which has been renovatedwith a new beamed roof and 28in thick stone walls, a pea gravel floor and a no-vent gasfireplace. It is used now as a wine cellar as opposed to its original purpose. It is,however, the same 1825 year vintage as the main structure of the property..Throughout this home, remarkable details and impeccable craftsmanship blendseamlessly to create an aura of the elegance of long-ago. Multiple generations of familycould dwell here with plenty of privacy and comfort. The home’s gas and water heaterwere updated just five years ago, and the home’s natural insulation – 28 inches of stone– help to maintain temperatures. Air conditioning is adaptive throughout the home tomaintain the integrity of the time period. The basement is huge and dry, with plenty ofspace for storage. The current owner speculates that a secret door in the basementmight have once housed an underground railroad stop. There is attic-space storage aswell. Pin Oaks farm also features a stellar security system with a central monitoringsystem.Take advantage of this rare chance to own a piece of history!
