485 Main St, Crosswicks, NJ 08515

Reminiscent of a small New England village, historic Crosswicks offers a peaceful and charming lifestyle while being just minutes away from all of modern life's amenities. Once you enter the village, your attention is drawn to the "Centerpiece of Crosswicks", a circa-1773 clapboard home that stands nobly on the corner of Main and Church Streets. Prior to being transformed into a family residence, the property served as a creamery, bakery, pool room, butcher shop and general store as it changed hands over the decades. With a storied past of two-and-a-half centuries, this Colonial home awaits its next chapter to begin! In the main house, original windows, wide-plank wood floors, high ceilings, a spacious floor-plan with four bedrooms and an oversized walk-up attic (which can be finished into a bonus room) make this home ideal for family living and entertaining. The gentle slope of the yard provides for a walk-out basement outfitted with full-sized windows, a workshop, storage area and potting room that together offer an additional level of living space. Situated on 1.17 acres of private land and abutting woods, this property includes sprawling grounds, gardens, a natural spring-fed pond, a large patio, storage sheds, and the original ice house which has been converted into a two-car garage, along with a newer, heated two-car carriage house and plenty of off-street parking. Directly across from the home is the village green where community events are held throughout the year and immediately next door is a quaint library which is located in a former one-truck firehouse. Situated in close proximity to Princeton, Trenton and public transportation access to Philadelphia and New York City, Crosswicks is the ideal place to reside in a serene, small town while just a stone's throw from anything you could possibly want or need.
