601 State Route 173, Bloomsbury, NJ 08804

With the scale, craftsmanship and character of another era, this c. 1880s home is distinguished by Italianate influences, bracketed eaves, tall windows and intricate detailing. Three porches, of which two are covered, add to the home's historic character and overlook the peaceful grounds. Ornate double entry doors open to a grand foyer, where soaring 10-foot ceilings, substantial millwork, hardwood and pumpkin pine floors, and an original staircase set the tone. Generously proportioned living and dining rooms feature tall windows, a beautiful bay window and fireplace. The kitchen pairs rich wood cabinetry, granite counters and a large center island with an incredible brick hearth. A casual seating area opens directly to one of the home's covered porches. A full bath and laundry complete the first floor. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, including a primary suite with private bath, an additional full bath and an office. A substantial unfinished walk-up third floor offers exciting potential for additional living space. Outside, an oversized 2-bay barn with workshop and expansive second level provides exceptional space for the hobbyist, collector, artist or craftsman.
