Standing on two-thirds of an acre with a wildflower meadow, fruit trees and raised garden beds, all handsomely fenced, this antique charmer marks the crossroad where the tiny village of Stoutsburg once provided respite for travelers passing through the surrounding farmland. The circa 1830s home was owned by the village blacksmith and retains many features common to the period, which grow increasingly rare with time. Pumpkin pine floors in a soft satin finish are in remarkable condition and parsons cupboards - so called because the reverend was rumored to fortify himself with a nip from the bottle hidden there - remain tucked behind an original mantel. The kitchen is particularly inviting with a whitewashed beamed ceiling and a sunny breakfast nook. Quartz countertops are a recent upgrade that further brighten the space. A full bath with a romantic slipper tub is a welcome surprise on the first floor, while the newly renovated bathroom upstairs is even more soothing and spa-like with white zellige tiles and a marble-topped vanity. Three bedrooms include a darling, skylit hideaway and a roomy corner refuge. Not only has the basement been waterproofed and modernized, it houses a new water filtration system and new washing machine. Additionally, a separate 3-bay garage with electricity has ample space for equipment, sports gear, seasonal items and more. Just one mile from lively Hopewell Borough!
