About this home
Luxuriate in space and exquisite finishes in a fantastic location. Walk up the limestone steps to the mahogany porch and be wowed when you step through the Dutch door onto the black and white marble of the center hall. Own a piece of Hightstown History. Built for Dr. Franklin in 1885, who assisted in treating Woodrow Wilson shortly before he was elected President, this house was lives and breathes comfort and grace. Exquisitely rejuvenated during the past three years, you walk into an impressive home with a black and white marble entry hall and original marble fireplace surrounds. A cherry cabinets in the kitchen highlight the original cooking hearth herringbone brick floor and extend past a full bath into the butlers pantry/laundry. The double parlor with original plaster moldings and floors looks out onto South Main Street and the Peddie School grounds. Enjoy the look and feel of steam heat emanating from the reconditioned period radiators, original wavy glass and a Harry Potter under the stairs closet.
The former medical consultation rooms offer the opportunity for bedrooms, in-law suite, professional office with its separate door leading to the front porch. En-suite Bathroom and three grandly sized closets complete this wing, which is ideal for a professional suite, in-law suite or the main bedroom suite.
