Property Description
Atop one of the highest points on Cranbury's Main Street, on the site of the "Stites House" is the most historic residential property in the village. This property has documented Revolutionary War history. Here in 1778, Washington, Hamilton and Lafayette met to plan what became the Battle of Monmouth. Built in the 1850's and now offered for sale for the first time since 1958, this home has been lovingly maintained, and is a rare opportunity for the next owner. One of the few homes on Main Street with more than 1.5 acres, the extensive lot behind the house offers many possibilities. You will not find room sizes like this in 20th century homes in historic communities such as Cranbury. Do you enjoy entertaining? Start with the grand "Baronial Hall" (18'x 19') dining room with built-in china cabinet. When you are in this space, you can imagine the moments enjoyed by friends and family entertained here...right out of a Norman Rockwell painting at Thanksgiving. Opposite the entry foyer, you will find the first of two living rooms with a handsome fireplace. Adjacent to the front living room is the library, with three walls of windows and built-in bookcases. Off the eat-in kitchen is an office or bedroom with a full bath and exterior entrance. Upstairs are four generous-sized bedrooms and two baths, all with large windows letting in lots of light. The next owners have the opportunity to combine the historic with the contemporary, add modern conveniences, and make this property their own.
