Nestled Into an Historic Canal-Side Community

26 Elm Street, Somerset, New Jersey 08873 United States

Municipality:Franklin Township

The Village of East Millstone is a collection of quaint little streets steeped in history with a vibrant sense of community. The D&R Canal offers endless paths for biking and strolling nearby and, just a bit further, Colonial Park is a popular spot, especially among dog owners. With a new coat of bright white paint and a brand new roof to go with it, this tidy 1865 Colonial fits into its surroundings just perfectly! The interior is, thankfully, just as lovingly maintained and loaded with authentic character. Exposed brick and wood beams impart a farmhouse feel, while the openness is conducive to a modern lifestyle. Another modern-day amenity is a huge garage that easily holds multiple cars and any lawn or gardening supplies. A stone firepit is a fun addition to the fenced property. The back entry is sized just right for a catch-all bench before continuing into the roomy kitchen with stainless steel appliances and timeless white cabinetry. There’s even extra storage beneath breakfast bar seating and a period-appropriate wood-stove tucked into an alcove. The laundry is discreetly stacked in one of the two full bathrooms, both delightfully updated with shiplap and beadboard walls. The upper bath even offers separate sinks. In keeping with the farmhouse style, original painted pumpkin pine floors carry into 2 of the 3 bedrooms. The main bedroom has a walk-in closet - a welcome surprise in a home of this vintage!
