Early portions of this enchanting antique residence date back to the early 1800s. Thoughtful renovations and additions in 1906 and 1957 expanded the original footprint, creating a delightfully spacious home featuring three fireplaces, wide plank pumpkin pine floors and numerous architectural details. The expansive floor plan is very deceiving from the street. It spans from the front hallway to a formal living room and den onto a powder room, country kitchen, formal dining room, screened porch, family room, greenhouse and mud room. Generously-sized bedrooms, including the master bedroom and a full bathroom, are located on the second floor. A fourth bedroom, a play room and several roomy closets are situated on the third floor. The second and third floors benefit from central air conditioning during warmer months. There is also an unfinished basement, plus an oversized garage conveniently attached to the large mud room tucked behind the family room. This level property is situated on a quiet street in an established neighborhood of historic homes. Shaded sidewalks line the street, encouraging residents to stroll into town. Antique wrought iron fencing runs along the front of the residence, and complements the charming facade. Brick pathways lead from the sidewalk and driveway to the front door, meandering along the side of the residence to a level lawn and garden. The entire parcel is a gardener’s paradise, graced by oak, holly and Japanese maple trees and punctuated with established perennials beds. A Koi pond brings a water feature to the gardens surrounding the brick patios. A gate connects the side lawn to an expansive back lawn, which is completely enclosed by deer fencing. White picket fencing has been thoughtfully placed to enhance the flower beds and the view of a two-story antique red barn in the corner of the backyard. Mendham Borough and Mendham Township, commonly referred to as Mendham, are both in the southern part of Morris County, a few miles from the county seat of Morristown. This property is located in the heart of the Borough’s historic district and is within walking distance to local schools, shops, parks, churches and restaurants. New Jersey Monthly magazine recently ranked Mendham Borough as the #1 Town in their annual Top Towns survey. Close proximity to a network of highways and Midtown Direct train service to New York from stations in downtown Morristown and Bernardsville add to the appeal of this location. Newark Liberty International Airport is approximately 45 minutes away by car.
