Own a piece of History, Colonel Joseph Borden settled here at this site. This stately colonial has dramatic high ceilings and hardwood floors. Inside the front door you will find the lovingly kept home. As you enter the large foyer with a beautiful chandelier., you will see the foyer is flanked by two formal rooms. The living room has a marble fireplace with a gas insert and entrance onto the cozy sun porch, just perfect for sitting out on a brisk fall evening and watching Bordentown's people walk by. The dining room features gorgeous crown plaster moldings and a decorative fireplace. This room is large enough for your biggest table with room left over for a sitting area or two. Need a place for your grand piano? There's room for that too. The pumpkin pine floors on this main level have the square head nails, showing the amazing detail of this home. The kitchen is perfect size for cooking and is conveniently located off the grand dining room. The laundry room and butler's pantry round out this floor. There is also a rear staircase that takes you the former maid's quarters complete with a bedroom and a bathroom. This area also features an old closet with original handblown windows that now serves as a linen closet. Coming up the grand staircase from the foyer, you will find four generous size bedrooms all with hardwood flooring. The main bedroom features an en suite bath and connects to another bedroom or you may choose to use it as a dressing room complete with a walk in closet. The two other bedrooms are very spacious. You will also notice the dramatically high ceilings on the second floor as well. There is a staircase that leads to the third floor. It is an unfinished space but could be finished to your needs as another place to "hang out" or office area. Plenty of room to roam in this gorgeous home. Outside you will be entranced by the .43 acre lot that has many gorgeous annuals and perennials, plus a pond. The front of the house has a gorgeous iron fencing that draw photographers to take pictures of it's details. There is an old "smoke house" on the property as well that serves as extra storage area. Many major items have been replaced in this home, the roof is approximately 7 years old and the furnace only 3 years old. This is a "Wow" home and you won't be disappointed by all it has to offer. Short walk to Bordentown Beach where you can enjoy kyacking, fishing and more water sports.
