Step into your time machine and travel back to 1825 in comfort and splendor. This elegant home, lovingly known as “Pin Oak Farm,” has been restored to its original level of elegance, while adding the comforts and conveniences of present-day living. This estate is set on nearly 1.09 acres of rolling lawn, featuring many grand old trees, fruit trees, an herb garden, and a vegetable garden. Like many historic homes, this one was built 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 a prominent Quaker farmer. Its 5,400 square feet includes 5 bedrooms (with potential for 2 more), 4 ½ baths, and three staircases. Ceiling heights range from 9 to 11 ½ feet, and there are spectacular New Jersey Red Pine Heart floors throughout. The pillared front porch welcomes you home each day with stately charm, reminding you of the storied footsteps that have crossed its threshold for almost 200 years. If these walls could talk! In true center hall colonial style, the large foyer opens to twin parlors, each boasting a fireplace. One parlor is presently used as a family room, while the other opens into a formal living room / music room. Numerous original blown-glass ceiling-height windows – many with lovely, deep-set windowsills – let in an abundance of light. Pin Oak Farm offers nine fireplaces – four wood, four gas, and one electric – all working and each unique, with one boasting still-pristine Delft tile. Imagine the fragrance of oak wood crackling in the fireplace on a spring or autumn day, while aromas of banana bread emanate from one of two kitchens. The main kitchen boasts plenty of fine cabinetry, 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 secondary kitchen 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 two driveways and 3 patios, which includes one loggia, and one with an intimate courtyard setting. The current owners have erected a 2 car post-and-beam barn with a loft storage area which was brought down from Connecticut and assembled on the property. They retained the original footprint of the equipment shed, which it replaced. In addition, there is another outbuilding, the original ice house for the property, which has been renovated with a new beamed roof and 28in thick stone walls, a pea gravel floor and a no-vent gas fireplace. 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 blend seamlessly to create an aura of the elegance of long-ago. Multiple generations of family could dwell here with plenty of privacy and comfort. The home’s gas and water heater were 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 to maintain the integrity of the time period. The basement is huge and dry, with plenty of space for storage. The current owner speculates that a secret door in the basement might have once housed an underground railroad stop. There is attic-space storage as well. Pin Oaks farm also features a stellar security system with a central monitoring system. Take advantage of this rare chance to own a piece of history!
