Emanating style and charm, this Circa 1740 historic five bedroom Colonial sits high and stately in the River Road Historic District, overlooking breathtaking views of Millstone River Park. Known as the William Baird House, this home has undergone recent additions designed by Perry Morgan. These stunning architectural features combine modern-day conveniences with old world character. Updated kitchen boasts an open stone wall, exposed hand-hewn beams, custom-made cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. A breakfast room is wonderful for everyday use or intimate gatherings. The formal living room - referred to as the Ballroom - is generously proportioned to accommodate memorable entertaining, yet cozy enough for quiet fireside relaxation. The formal dining room (formerly a Billiards Room) has raised-paneled walls and vaulted ceiling that add a timeless elegance to mealtime, where guests will leisurely dine. An office/library awaits creative thoughts. Enjoy a modern-styled family room which looks upon a flagstone courtyard. Master bedroom suite has a nostalgic feel when entering through the dressing/sitting room, and luxurious renovated master bath has a blissful, serene round soaking tub, separate shower, and modern fixtures for those soothing times needed. Four other spacious bedrooms and two full baths are designed for dreamy nights' sleep. Outside, numerous possibilities can be found, with plenty of space for organic gardening, climbing a tree house, or playing/practicing your favorite sport. Two-car detached garage has second floor for private hangouts or storage. Enjoy a country lifestyle, all within twenty minutes or less to area shopping, recreation, NYC/PHL train stations, and award-winning schools.
