房子 在 戴维斯大桥, 新泽西州 购买

This mid-century home will surprise you with its unique design elements and sensible floor plan. Featured in a local magazine in 1949 as “Home of the Month,” the ranch-style architecture was “all the rage” at that time though still considered less conventional than a two-story home. Because of this, the architect sought to combine the appealing elements of both house styles, and succeeded as it was later copied by an executive at Bell Laboratories. The most striking feature remains so today: a delightful circular dining room with a matching wall of windows that open onto a small deck overlooking the property. Additionally, the center hall entry opens to a spacious living room with a picture window and oversized marble fireplace. Hardwood floors cover most of the main level, and multiple windows invite ample natural light. The original “ultra-modern, all electric” kitchen, just off the dining room, has since been expanded to include a comfortable eating area. A second fireplace warms a cozy den that has been used as a bedroom and is adjacent to an office. A full bathroom and a bedroom are across the hall, and the primary suite has a dressing room area and en suite bathroom. French-style doors open from two of the bedrooms onto a deck that spans the rear of the house and overlooks the recently updated in-ground pool. An open stairway to the basement accesses a laundry area and large workroom as well as the two-car garage. Originally named “Long View,” the house is perched on a knoll surrounded by more than two acres of open and level lawns. At the time it was built, it commanded a “broad vista” westward across Basking Ridge. Today, mature landscaping creates more of a sense of privacy, and houses dot the neighborhoods beyond. The house sits back from the road in the sought-after hamlet of Millington in Long Hill Township, known for its excellent schools and easy train access to New York City as well as many parks and the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge.
