Once upon a time, this house was just a single room. A Dutch oven was used for cooking and warmth and a bed built into the wall was hidden by heavy curtains during the day.

Old homes have plenty of stories, and this old home is no exception. An historic landmark, the Van Houten House was reportedly built around 1800 and expanded as part of the original owner's dowry for his daughter. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home has three fireplaces and plenty of built-ins.

This is a spacious home with hardwood floors, a barn-like garage and a beautiful yard. If you've ever lived in an old home, you know: they were built to last forever.

I love how close this house is to Route 3 and the Garden State Parkway, but also only a few blocks from several beautiful parks as well as the Bonsal Wildlife Preserve - a 20-acre nature preserve and one of the area's best kept secrets.

This is truly a special property and it is priced to sell at $375,000. If you'd like to arrange a viewing, or talk about any other of your real estate needs, I'd love to hear from you: 973-809-5277
