Basking Ridge Stage Coach Stop

A piece of Basking Ridge history: This lovingly cared for 3-bedroom, 2-bath home. Circa 1720 when the original 2 rooms were a stagecoach stop, this historic home features plank flooring throughout, original built in cabinets, 3 fireplaces, and a root cellar. An addition in the 1860’s added the living room, dining room and 2nd floor bedrooms. The walk-up attic not only is great for storage, but has original ‘bunks’ and a built-in desk. Subsequent additions created the kitchen and breakfast area with vaulted ceiling along with the first floor laundry room and bathroom. Enjoy the serenity of the flat 2.4 acre property from the private rear patio. The lush grounds include flower beds, a large yard for playing and gatherings, and a wooded area. Other modernizations include wired for cable and satellite television. A true delight!
