Built in 1785, this 5,700'+ historic home in Bridgeton is new to the market! Situated on almost 1 acre lot, this amazing property has it all! The private driveway provides access behind the home, which leads you to a covered stone patio area off the kitchen - a perfect area to unwind or enjoy a cup of tea/coffee. The two main entrances are located at the front and side door entry. At the side door entry, you will be welcomed by an oversized sitting area, with lots of light and beautiful wood floors, that continue throughout the home. Down the hallway, you will meet up with the front doors and large foyer area. Off the foyer, a formal den features a fireplace, and could be used for an office, family room or music room. Large wooded double doors can be opened up to the adjoining room, currently used as a formal living room. An additional family room is also located on the main floor. Across the large hallway you will find a formal dining room, connected to an oversized kitchen, with another fireplace. Off the kitchen a laundry room and half bathroom are conveniently located. A large bonus room, which is currently unfinished, features tons of space for a variety of uses, and also provides access to a private, outside patio area. This back patio space is a great place for entertaining, grilling or enjoying the large yard and gardens. On the back side of the kitchen, you will find a pantry area with access to the basement. Back to the main foyer area, a large, winding staircase provides access to two additional floors. In between the first and second floor, a private stairwell provides access to domestic helper quarters. Currently an unfinished and unused space, these quarters include two stories which comprise of three small bedrooms, bathroom area and living room area. The second floor features a large bedroom with fireplace, which was previously two separate rooms. This huge room features a beautifully updated bathroom with a large shower featuring imported tiles. On the opposite side of the hallway, two additional bedrooms are found, both with fireplaces (Note: The pocket doors separating the second-floor rooms are missing). The hallway features a lovely sitting area with lots of natural light. On the top floor, 4 additional bedrooms can be found. This home features original wood floors, hardware, doors, trim, and additional architectural features that make it truly unique. Electric service was updated, the main roof was replaced in 2020 and a Zoned Gas Furnace and AC system was installed in 2012. With love and vision, this home can be your dream home! This home is being sold strictly As-Is: Home does need some TLC, as much of the exterior paint is chipping and peeling. Kitchen does not have an operating oven and rear living room has not been finished and has roof leak.
