Inspiring "East Jersey Cottage" proudly hailed as the oldest home in Mendham Boro's Historic District in Ella Mockridge's "Our Mendham", where steps from the front lawn the annual Labor Day parade marches. Upon entering this lovingly cared for cedar roofed Colonial, you sense the history this home is steeped in. A rustic dining room with hand hewn beamed ceiling and painted wood floors will host memorable dinners and celebrations, while breezes from the mahogany screened porch allow the room to take in the evening air. An open, country kitchen features ample inset cabinetry topped with granite, and a separate charming pantry with window, bookshelves and storage. A formal living room is both light-filled and architecturally interesting with beamed ceilings, handsome plank floors, built-in bookcases and a fireplace. Just beyond, a comfortable family room is positioned off the kitchen. A full bath and laundry closet are also on the first floor. A classic wooden staircase is completed by a picture window capturing pastoral views and a period style chandelier. The primary suite was created by combining two bedrooms, forming a serene oasis with knotty pine boards and lovely windows set high, catching the sun. Exposed wood cross ties below a vaulted ceiling create an enchanting sleep space, and are echoed in the ensuite bath with soaking tub, paired vessel vanities and glass shower. A second sunlit bedroom and half bath complete the second floor. Outside, fresh green lawns and mature trees surround a brick patio and path, wandering towards the red barn. This vintage building contains a garage and storage room below an artist's loft, with wood plank floors and tray ceilings. Dotted with bookshelves and windows throughout, and a potential additional 'bedroom', this special space instills creativity for endless pursuits. Come write your story in this historical slice of Americana.Mendham Boro is home to an award-winning school system, a country village with eateries and retail options and Patriots Path for hiking and riding trails.
