Remarkable opportunity for a large or growing family to own a custom built 1930's home in the heart of one of New Jersey's most historic and sought after communities. Just a short walk from all schools, churches and the downtown shopping district, your opportunity to create a treasured homestead for your family awaits. The elegance and pride of craftsmanship shows throughout, from the lavish hardwood floors to pocket doors and the ornate moldings and mantels. Once inside, you will feel comfortable immediately, with the carefully designed layout to maximize the living space, while providing plenty of privacy throughout the home. Two soapstone wood stoves on the main floor can provide all the heat needed throughout the home if needed. The screened side porch off the great room provides additional three season living space, great for dining, quiet relaxation, or extending the party. For many homeowners, the real attraction may come behind the house in the detached building, which houses the two bay door, three car garage, plus an enormous workshop which formerly housed a professional machine shop. With a cathedral styled roof which could house a vehicle lift , this expansive workshop provides very upgraded electrical capacity and enough space to operate a variety of home businesses. A second floor studio loft overlooks the workshop. The building also houses a bath and changing rooms to conveniently service the in-ground swimming pool. An additional stacked field-stone outbuilding served as the boat house and offers much additional storage for the recreational toys . Built like a cavern, it could be the ultimate man-cave or club house. The .62 acre mostly fenced property backs to the privacy of woods, and allows family and pets, athletes and gardeners, and those just seeking the tranquility of their own backyard oasis a perfect destination at the end of the school or work day. Conveniently located to all major commuting routes, Mt. Holly lies just 15 minutes from Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst, and a reasonable drive to Philadelphia, New York and the Jersey Shore. This very unique property, offered in it's "as-is" condition and priced for an immediate sale, provides a great opportunity for the proud new owners to "make it their own", with their own choices of paint and finishing touches to restore this gem to the majestic showplace it has been throughout it's nine decades.
