About Property

Introducing a truly special Antique Colonial, rich in history, thoughtfully updated, and beautifully suited for modern living. Ideally located in the sought-after Long Hill neighborhood, this distinctive residence, built by Lucius Burroughs in 1855, blends timeless character with the comfort and functionality today's buyers seek. From the moment you step inside, the home feels open and welcoming. With over 2,200 square feet, soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors and oversized windows, natural light fills each room, creating an airy and uplifting atmosphere. The main level offers gracious flexibility. Just off the primary living spaces, a versatile room works well as a family room, playroom, or mudroom. Nearby, a first-floor bedroom sits adjacent to a full bath-ideal for guests or multigenerational living. An additional bedroom on this level, includes built-ins and a closet and may function as a bedroom as originally designed, or as a tv room/ den, library, or home office (see floor plan). At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen features a timeless color palette and abundant storage, flowing seamlessly into the grand dining area, perfect for gatherings both large and small. The living room with access to the side porch is anchored by a gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space to relax. A graceful sweeping staircase rises to the second floor, adding both character and architectural charm.
